Chat? - Page 2

Christ, we can't even keep a thread on track, imagine how convoluted a chat would become.

For the same reason you and Bruce put your asshats on every day.

You know, I actually forgot I posted this question (I really do have mild neurological damage - I completely blanked this one. I'm always making interesting discoveries like this - ever see the movie "Memento"? Well, that's me, but thankfully to a lesser degree. I learned from it to write important notes on my hands, though. But I digress.) Anyhow, you'd have to IM every member who was on the board at the moment to have an actual chat, wouldn't you? Another board I visit has a one hour weekly chat and its a great free for all. Not like the cr-p on AOL or Yahoo or one of those either. Its pretty fast paced, too. Anyhow, it was just a thought...

Not sure about AIM but I know MSN has group chat.

Whenever there are more than three cellarites online who know each other's IM screennames, we usually end up chatting by creating a private chatroom and inviting everybody.

I think we've had as many as 7 participants.

And yes, there is still an ignore button ...

What do most people use? AIM?

wolf · 05-02-2004, 03:48 PM

I think AIM is the more popular of the two, at least that's what we've done more of our chats in over the last year or two.

I use both AIM and Yahoo Messenger.

I have an MSN Messenger account, but hardly anyone I know bothers with them. Especially since they started demanding that you pay to enter public chat rooms.

perth · 05-02-2004, 03:55 PM

I might pick up an AOLIM account, but I'm sure "Perth" is already taken and if I have to add a string of random numbers to my name THEN IMM GONA HAEV 2 CHANGE MAH STYL3 OF WRITNG!11! OMG WTF

But as long as I have this then I guess it's not that big a deal.

DanaC · 05-02-2004, 04:02 PM

I only use ICQ...

perth · 05-02-2004, 04:08 PM

Last time I installed ICQ on my computer, it dragged me outside, beat me senseless and set me on fire.

Well, maybe not that, so much, but it really did bring my system to it's knees. It was soaking huge amounts of RAM, nearly killing a computer that was on it's last legs anyway. I just couldn't imagine why a chat app demanded so much of my poor little machine.

Really? I didnt know it was using up lots of RAM....

Maybe it doesn't anymore. Used to tho.

I'm relatively new to this, but I'm been trying out Trillian. It lets you be on AOL IM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, ICQ, and IRC all at once. So far it seems to work great.

Trillion.....Trillion......wasnt Zaphod's chick called Trillian in Hitchhikers guide?
