I know this is kind of weird since this is being a message posting site but, is there currently a chat room for the EMPEG player? I scanned the major chat servers with my chat client, but found nothing. If there is no chat, is a room going to be made? and if so, where and when?? Just wondering is all....

I think this is a kind of chat - but offline. And it works fine. Nearly all your problems are solved and you get good help.

Once I get the BBS upgraded to the new server, hopefully
and day now, I may look at putting up some sort of simple
web based chat system.

Anybody got any recommendation for such a system - preferably PHP based?

Cheers

Paul

Do you really think we need one?
I don't think that this BBS would have half as much fun if the discussions had been going on in chat mode. I don't think I'll need it

I agree to this. The discussions happening here are accessible for all users. So some people read the threads fitting to their problems before they ask the same question other 100 people have already questioned. I think it'd be a waste of time.

What do others think about that?

Even if PaulH will not create a chat system. I have opened up and protected the channel #empeg on EFnet if any1 wants to use it.

Feel free and I hope to see you all there.

Besides that, it would be a good place for us all to meet each other and get to know one another better.

I have to agree w/ henno on this... I kinda like having a "logged chat" atmosphere.. something you wouldn't have w/ chat channels.. that way if you don't pick up the original conversation, you can always read it later and comment.. Besides, the BBS already supports ICQ status's, and if people really want they can use "who's online" and use icq...

It might be a good idea to make new areas here though... I think we should have areas for important information, and then areas for general chit-chat.. As it is, it seems that alot of good information is getting burried right now..

Interesting.. I had started #empeg on EFnet around 6-8 months ago.. Had 4-5 bots in there.. I guess somehow the channel got removed from the lists on the bots... I never noticed - no one ever went there anyway. 8)

There's currently a chat room at the www.klipsch.com bulletin board. Unfortunately their server is down at the moment so you can't see it. It's not part of the UBB, although they happen to use that BB software (my favorite software, but that's just my opinion.
