After over two years, let's start up the weekly chat.
I've setup a chat area on "ChatNet" for us. I've reserved a room name so that others cannot come and trash us.
List of software for use with Internet Relay Chat (IRC) servers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients)
List of ChatNet servers (http://www.chatnet.org/servers.html)
Once you've installed some IRC software, you can test your connection to any of the ChatNet servers (all of them will carry the channel, and relay the chat between the various servers). Once you've connected to the server, the channel name is #3DHS - typically type "/join #3DHS" and it should log you into the channel. Also, you can try registering your preferred nickname using their nick registration command, you can get instructions by typing in "/nickserv help register". If someone already has registered your nickname, you'll have to try something else. But once you get it registered, no one will be able to use it (as long as you login at least once every 45 days).
As an alternative to installing IRC software, there is a Java web client at http://chat.chatnet.org/ (http://chat.chatnet.org/), though I don't know how good it is.
Feel free to test out the features of IRC in the meantime. If you need any help getting setup, let me know. I'm in the room right now (though not always at my desk) so if you want to join early, or you have any questions, just let me know.

wow
for the past few days I`ve been thinking of chat also.
are starting a semi-hive mind?
wish I can join though
6:30 I`m on the metro deep in a commute induced coma.
a couple of times people thought I died.
I scare people when I sleep
-
Join after you get home.
-
most definately
resistance is futile

Just click the link for the Java client.
-
I'll probably be late, my server got banned again...
-
I can't get in through Java, it's not letting me connect. Maybe next time, I have a long day tomorrow anyway.
-
Bump it back up.
It would be nice to see some more of you guys in chat!
-
Don't we have a perfectly functional chat room here in Debategate? Or did it get screwed up somehow?

It wasn't working at one point; I haven't tried it recently.

thanks for dragging this thread up-ami
I`ll need it tonight to relink to chat tonight
I`m gonna use my aspire one to try to chat to you guys
I just got it yesterday
It`a abit rough to handle but it does the job.
it`s really meant to be used by people with decent computer knowledge.
but I`m able to fake it.
-
Bump.

Chat tonight?
Sweet. And we need to download that software? I'll see if I can figure it out.

Or use the Java client; for that, you just need to click on the link as long as your browser supports Java.
I'm logged in right now if you want to test (though I'll be in and out of my office).

I can't seem to make this work. Anything wrong with the chatroom here? I can't see it, but that may be another punishment.

Can't see what? Which client are you trying?

I'm in Rich, if you click on the chatnet link in the initial post in this thread (for the java client), it'll take you to another room. Once there, type /join #3DHS That should get you to the room. I don't think it's tied to this forum, there may be an issue if the admin of the chat room banned you, but I don't think so.
Hope that helps.
-
I haven't banned anyone.
-
Last week you posted a link: http://chat.chatnet.org/ (http://chat.chatnet.org/)
I go there and it works, except I can't find the room. I type "/join #3DHS" in several places (not sure exactly where it should go) and get nothing.
-
probably a stupid question, but are you typing the apostrophe's? If you are you shouldn't, if you aren't then I really don't know.

I am riding the storm here. Literally, as NM has finally seen her share of early cold winter winds.
Someone suggested I take brandy, honey and lemon for my throat. God, it hurts. I sound like Kathleen Turner with a bad cough! ha!

Ami, I wish I could join chat... but that's 4:30 AM my time. I would love it, though, if one time in the future we could have the chat on a Thursday or Friday (the weekends here are Friday/Saturday and back to work on Sunday). ;)

been gone awhile
having the hardest time accessing

I've tried, hasn't worked for me.

Have you tried using the clickable link in the first post?
Here it is again: http://chat.chatnet.org/ (http://chat.chatnet.org/)
Once you've connected to the server, the channel name is #3DHS - typically type "/join #3DHS" and it should log you into the channel. Also, you can set your name to something other than "Guest" by typing in "/nick NewName" (obviously replacing NewName with your desired nickname).
-
will do
uhm ami
you pic is a red x right now
-
Yeah, my main server is unreachable right now. Entire hosting service is gone, can't even report it to them (I don't have their phone number handy). Their machines are responding to ping and traceroute, but the servers aren't responding to content requests.
They've been pretty on-the-ball up until now. I'm gonna wait and see for now, but I have some backup plans that I can kick in if needed...
-
There, I pointed it at one of my backup sites...
-
Thanks for the help.
-
Noticed you logged on Lanya. Going to join us at 9:30?
-
You guys can hang out more than 4 seconds, you know.
-
I`m in right now

I think it was a matter of convenience and the venue seems out of character for a chat, Ami.
Perhaps we can try earlier in the evening next time.
/join #3DHS A space between the join and the #
then /nick Cynthia
Am I right?
Space between Nick and my name?
Sometimes the typing to get in is a bit much. . . .
We are used to click and CHAT. ;)
I enjoy the DHS chat room, however....it would be nice to see a saloon friendly chat room for the set up.

Typing 2 commands is too much?
My, we have gotten to be a lazy society.

No, I have been able to get in.....For the most part, it isn't that difficult, but it does require direction in a venue that is
"new" to some folks.
However, I am just wondering if others are not able to find the place...or not able to take the time this late in the night.
Let's try another time of day.
Ami, you are a wizard of technology. You DO know that.
Yet for some, it isn't worth the effort. You are so --- brilliant technologically speaking...You are....tis true. . . but then there are the rest of us ................................................challenged in such a way. . . with all due respect.
Just a thought.
