HEY PEOPLE! THERE'S A CHAT ROOM!
(You can move this topic to wherever you think is most appropriate, geeks-that-be.)
HEY, EVERYONE!
Now that I've gotten your attention - do you see that green tab near the top of your panel that says "CHAT"?
When you click it, it says "Flash Video Chat." But don't let that scare you off. The point of this post is to say...
COME ON IN! The water's fine!
- You don't need a webcam or a microphone to chat.
- There aren't that many people in the rooms these days - mostly because (I think) people are on the same page as I was when I saw "Flash Video Chat" - oh god I need a webcam/microphone/I don't want a whole bunch of people to see me/hear me/whatever...
Again, COME ON IN! Let me ask you something - do you remember the days of AIM chat rooms? (I sure do!) Do you remember how fun some of them could be?
WELL...HOW FUN WOULD IT BE TO FIND A ROOM FULL OF AWESOME PEOPLE WHO ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED TO HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH YOU THAT YOU COULD GO ON FOR HOURS ABOUT? (And when will I stop writing this announcement in all caps? Why can't threads have a huge ol' microphone setting where Microsoft Sam yells out the entire post?)
The more people we can get in here, the more fun we are going to have! I promise! Especially for people who have an easier time getting to know other people by encountering them in a group setting, even if this is the 'net! GEEKS UNITE!
CLICK CHAT, THEN OPEN CHAT IN POPUP, THEN FIND A ROOM WHERE THERE ARE PEOPLE AND COME CHAT WITH US! If you're not completely satisfied, then go make your own room and invite us. Pretty please?
This has been a service announcement from the chat system that needs much more nerdy lovin'. Kthxbye.
Yes, there's a chatroom. Congratulations on finding it. ;-)
Personally, I think that the chat is superfluous: the forums are all but dead, and having the chat splits the discussion. If there must be a chat, it should be IRC, and be just a single room (as in #sog or #sweetongeeks) on a server somewhere.
You know what, either way, I'd be down with that.
I LOVE IRC. So many good memories, so many funny chats. Especially on QDB! :p Somebody make a room and tell us about it! :D
IRC would be most gracious to have, seeing as I do most of my main talking on it ^.^
why are you reading this, get your ass a chatting
I just found this place, and it looks like nobody is here. I went to the chatrooms, and they were EMPTY. Barely anyone has posted here in the forums either.
Like Silver said, we usually mozy on over there around 7ish.
Most derf! Usually nobody's in there in the daytime. Around sevenish we all start to gather, with some tapering off as the night goes on. Come hang with us!! :D
I do not know! Back when I first started this topic, this was still a free place. :x













TLDR version: The site has a chat feature. It doesn't require a cam or mic. More people should join it.
