The late night threads seem to get a fair bit of attention and I was wondering if a Barbelith chatroom might go down well. The conversations on those threads does seem to be somewhat akin to mutual delousing. In a good way.
BTW - looking over old threads I did notice a delphi chatroom that doesn't seem to work.
It'd need to be a through-firewall chatroom. Maybe one of those java things that uses an IRC server? I remember having shitloads of trouble on Habbo, too...
Same here. Got bumped/booted off v. often. Didn't like me having messenger open either.
No wonder I never saw any of you in the Barbelith Lounge. I went off it quickly.
This question of BarbeLive has come up several times in my short time here, remains unresolved, sinks, rises again. I'd be interested to see it break the surface. See if it'll float.
I've not encountered any chat applets that reliable work over firewalls. HTML-based chat works fine, but it sucks.
I'd prefer just a regular IRC channel to be honest, something like having a channel #barbelith on Undernet or somewhere reliable. IRC is pretty easy to use even if you've never done so before, and it's accessible from practically any system.
Oh, another vote for IRC. Simple, easy to police, easy to use, and you can run a bare terminal window with BitchX and thus look more productive than gooey icky MSNM windows everywhere.
Vote number three for IRC (see what I did there)! It's reliable and when you're bored you can play silly little quiz games and I want to be an op plus I can get this funky little Russian Roulette game that a friend of mine made, if his email still works, and it probably won't and I can't use IRC in Cardiff anyway so why am I even joining in this damn- too- late conversation.
I'd like to get into a chatty thing but it would need to be accessible from an internet cafe without too much hassle. This is by no means a demand but just a consideration if it is possible.
So everyone can get into the chatroom except me? Thats great. I didn't want to talk to you guys anyway, so I'm glad that my persistent attempts to log on have failed.
It's no effort. All you do is go onto whatever server you're going onto, and type /join #barbelith (or whatever). If you're the first one there, it will start up the channel for you.
I suggested Undernet, but anything would do, really.
Maybe you should talk more loudly so I can find you. I doubt work is blocking it since I can get to all the previous stuff, or maybe not. Who knows? I'm going back to carving in stone. Much more reliable.
Well, given that I'm sitting mournfully all by myself in there now, i think you *are* having a better time in here. It's lonely being an early-adopter.
I think this is a good idea, but on behalf of all chat-room novices, could there be some idiot-proof instructions on how to meet you? Or a link for getting from here to there?
