Trial Chat Room

[Lensman]

I just set up a chatroom at

www.chatzy.com/363772933367

If you want to participate, the password is "wotw". Be sure to click on the "join chat" button after the password is accepted.

PLEASE NOTE I have set this up on my own, with no blessing from Rob or the moderators here. So don't blame them for any problems.

I think Sunday would be best for me for a chat. What time would work best for you? Please specify your time zone. And how many hours difference is there between Greenwich time and New York time?

I think it would work best if we would try to set a specific time weekly for a chat. As I say, for me that's on Sunday. But the chat room won't be moderated most of the time... just when I happen to peek in, which likely will only be for an hour or so at the "official" chat time. So be warned, it will be unmoderated most of the time. You'll have to deal with rudeness, shills, or other problems yourself. If anyone else wants to be a moderator there, let me know.

As the topic above says, this is a trial. We'll see how it goes.

I was just in there minutes ago , i saw the text and some of the convo of leatherhead and lensman but it seemed they took off. I am in oregon usa west coast time zone and I am pretty much a way late internet, all nighter person.

I'm on there now.

I don't think there's anyone online - I'll hang out and see who comes.

[Lensman]

Well I see a number of people have visited the chat room. Obviously it does function. So it's there for anyone who wants to use it.

Be advised all the chat is saved and can be viewed later... so please treat your chats as public, not private. There does seem to be a way to send private messages, but I haven't figured that out yet.

I see deadsword had a problem with the room, apparently it was very slow or locked up. I've had that problem in other chat rooms, but not with this one so far, altho I'm no a slow dial-up connection. From my own experience I guess all chatrooms will have problems. Maybe a chat via IRC, ICQ or AIM would work better, but I'd hate to require someone install software to be able to access the chatroom. The advantage of the chatzy site is that if you can access the Internet, you can access the chatroom, so anyone who can visit this forum should also be able to access the chatroom.
