Page 1 of The chat room idea revisited

Someone earlier this week suggested a live chat and I may have wrongly given the impression I wasn`t up for it. There are certainly enough regulars to this site and if, as Robert Shepherd states, this is a facility that can be offered then I, for one, would be interested. It`d be nice to hear from the regulars such as Nelley, Wozwebs, Daz, Briley, Troll, Carrot and Iron Duke of course to see if we couldn`t give it a go. What do you think, guys ?

well, it depends what you mean by "chat room" i`m asuming most of you mean a WWW based thing, which imho would be a bad idea, a much better solution would be a irc chan on any irc network (irc.net or ef.net prolly best).

that way theres a lot more control AND it means those of us ho wont run nasty java / javascript websites that slow everything down to a crawl can join in too.. :-)

Actually, it would most likely use Flash and be customised specifically for our needs. Being an IRC regular (channel #webdev on Quakenet) if I couldn`t stand to use it, it just wouldn`t happen.

Downsides of using IRC are it isnt very user friendly for newbies and it needs an IRC client or java interface (and we all know java sucks), hence why we are looking into a very clean and neat Flash option.

Oh well, I prolly wouldn`t of been around at same time as everyone else anyway.. :/

Don`t suppose it`d work wih my crappy ONnet box either. Mind you, should be getting my funky Best Price PC tomorrow, although I suspect I`ll have many Carrot-like tales of misery to bestow upon you all when it doesn`t arrive. Trust me, I`m an ex-Trading Standards Officer...(should know better really!). Completely off the beaten track has anyone had any horror stories with Line One as an ISP cos I`m torn between them and McFreeserve at the moment - they both offer Surftime for £9.99 but Line One offer 50Mb of webspace...not that I`d set up in competition of course (DVD Reviewer - my fave site!!)

Heh - you`d need considerable more than 50Mb :)

No Mark you misunderstand - it would be an Encore/Hitachi showdown forum ONLY....

And I reckon I`d only need 1 byte of memory for it to run too - why do I put my player down so ? It must be luv ???? (10 dollar)

ENCORE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
