Chat room - Come join us :)

[peterh]

I was having a discussion with El and Steve about the chatroom and how it's mostly just four guys in there and some people stopping by when they have the time.

I'd like to remind you that the chat is open to all and discussions aren't limited to just comic books since we have other interests as well. It's a great place to hang out, and while chatting with the loonies can result in loss of insanity, it's a friendly enviroment and has that trademark Cascade humor. ;D

I know some of you are too busy or don't have an interestin chatting - but if you'd like to come I promise you'll have a good time

So - anyone interested?

[janggut]

how to join in? what are the requirements? do i need to download anything?

[Gray Lensman]

Nothing required, Janggut.

Just go to the first page of the Chat Room thread in the Chat board, and there's a link. Enter your screen name, and you're in.

[janggut]

thanks, mr grey!

Since I have never been involved with a chat room before, I have been a little hesitant to give it a try.

If I remember correctly Steve, you were the one who told me what to do when I asked what I needed to do. Thanks for explaining it to Jags, because I had forgotten what was involved and would have had to ask again.

Jags thanks for asking the question so I didn't have to ask again.

Unfortunately I am still having problems entering the chatroom and to be honest I don't enjoy the idea of being addicted to one. I'm already addicted enough as it is to message boards and instant messenger and the internet in general. Have fun though, guys.

[Gray Lensman]

No problem, folks. That's what I'm here for.

It might be worth keeping a Sticky note somewhere about this for everyone's convenience, either here or in the Chat forum. I'll think about it.

The chatroom is just a more interactive version of the boards, really. I didn't used to be a chat room person myself at one time, but this bunch turned me around.

[Shan]

Steve, what happens if no one else is in the chat room?

Do you just post or answer messages like you do here if no one is around?

If others are there, do you just post back and forth to each other like on Gaim?

Shan

[Gray Lensman]

If you're the only one in the room, you can post a note in the Chat forum telling people you're there. Sometimes people show up that way.

And yeah, you can do other things while you're waiting for others to show up. A lot of people do.

[Shan]

Thanks Steve and I like your idea of making it a sticky. There may be others around here like Jags and me that have no idea what a chat room is all about or how it operates.

There's usually either Steve or Elliot or Terr in the chat room when I go online. Does that say something about them? ;D
