Army.ca Chat [merged]

[Griswald DME]

If you have your puter on all the time you can sit in there and at least you will see who comes to visit.  I think an Op should sit in there (not to mean they sit there and stare at their bloody computer all the time), but at least it shows newbies that there actually are people that go to the channel, even if they aren't talking

Actually the Chat Room is also available under "Information" in the menus at the top of the page.

Never noticed that...but moving my mouse up to "Information" and then down to "Chatroom" just plain old smacks of effort.

Honestly, I think that having a very visable button would increase activity...but don't know how much work it would entail to add a new button. Anyway, if it is not hard to do, consider giving it a try.

This chat room is very very quite ???

Yes the chat was a bit "dead" when I got there, but I will go back later and check it again.

Cheers!!

EvilTree is actually me. I may be around, but people usually just buggers off before I could respond.

Wow, i hadnt visited the channel for a while..seems pretty dead still. 

Im gonna stick around in it whenever i can, I suggest everyone else do the same. Maybe we can revive it...

C'mon in, we can talk about you're girlfriend 

 

[Sh0rtbUs]

Just need a few more and things should pick up.

I tried to join the chat room, but it won't let me download the plug-in. I have firefox, so I just wanted to know if it was my computer acting up.

I believe you need to have the Java Runtime Environment installed to get it to work. You can download it here with a direct link to the download here.

Well, we have a chatroom, but it doesn't get much of an use.

Perhaps if we start an official chat night, maybe it'll get some use, and as well hopefully some good discussions.

I'm thinking the chat night to be a weeknight, perhaps Wed at 2000EST.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

I'd be willing to try, but have never really participated in one. Also, with my short attention span, I'd have to be constantly reminded about it

 

[Pea]

I would definitely give it a shot. Sounds like it could be interesting.

RHF,

Were you thinking of a more formal chat with particular topic(s) for that night or something more informal?

If it is the former, members could post their ideas for topics on a thread and one could be picked for each week. 

Thoughts?

 

[Pikache]

I'm thinking informal for now. If there is a sufficient demand for a formal topic on a chat night, I'd be happy to implement the idea.

[bhobson]

I would be interested! What night at what time?

[Mike Bobbitt]

We'd never find a night that's "good" for everyone, so RHF why don't you pick a date and we'll give it a shot.

 

[the 48th regulator]

there is a plan.  Even I will give it a whirl!

I've never used one before. Could someone make a tuturial?
