Live Gateworld Chat?

[Puddle-Jumper]

Okay credit for setting up goes to Elorendil

link to the chat...

Gateworld Chat!. Just enter the nickname that you want to use, then put #GateWorld in "Channel" field and click "connect."

If you want to register your nick, here is the command to do so:
Type /MSG NICKSERV REGISTER desiredpassword emailaddress

If you register your nickname, you will be able to remove it from the server when it is a ghost. You may also remove it from the server if someone is maliciously pretending to be you. This password-protected nickname will last only one minute [on standard settings] after NickServ asks you to identify. Basically, it keeps people from pretending to be you.

I think this would be a lot of fun! We could always use an IRC chat - those are pretty easy to set up. I'd be willing to help get one going.

You could just create an Off-Topic thread Titled "Ongoing Open Chat" or something like that.

[Puddle-Jumper]

Ya we could actually, though then thats just like any other thread, Id prefer to do something via a chat platform like skype or something, just more instant...

[Elorendil]

I believe that Skype based chats tend to be hard on slower internet connections. If such a chat gets started, this might be a good thing to look into so members with slower internet can still access it.

An IRC would be pretty wick'd...

Yahoo messenger have a group chat room type service too... Ive never used that though so Im a bit sketchy on the details

Things get lost too easily in an open thread. I hate having to PM everyone and than wait 120 stupid seconds between each.

Actually Pm's here are down to 60 sec.

Okay so anyone know where we could easily and freely set up a chat room/group type thing???

[Elorendil]

I can set one up if you guys want me to. It is free and easy to access.

Edit: Here we go, went ahead and started one. If anyone else has a better suggestion for where to start one, I will just close this one.

Well done

I want some credit for the idea though

Well if it gets popular the mods may go about setting up a more official one perhaps on gateworld itself

[jelgate]

I just wonder how you people survived back in the day when all we had was PMs

[Elorendil]

Yes, credit goes to you and I will set you up as an Op if you come over. Thanks for coming up with the idea! This could be a lot of fun.
