if you can you should make a chat room. I dont know if it is that hard to do but if you can you should that would be freakin awesome. At least thats what i think. Do It

I had one... no one ever used it so I got rid of it.

thanks that sucks

i hear there will be a aim thing on the 24th was it, how many of these does the site have usually?? i think pimpmann was right though, a chat room would be cool, but ppl have to come i guess

The site has enough people to be in a chat room here on the site... problem is not everyone just "happens" to get in the chat room at the same time and start talking.

currently there are 213 members on the site, plenty for a chatroom, but the problem is that they get on at wrong times. but when the members gut up in the 4 or 5 hundreds do u think a chatroom could be a possibility?? even with 500 ppl only about 20-30 would be on at the same time i guess but still 15 ppl in a chatroom would still be cool.

if you say there 213 members though have you ever glanced down at the bottom of the page where it shows how many people are on (registered, hidden, and Guest) i see about 5 people on at once usally there all guest though. I dont know if that is enough to start a chat room with. One more thing is there a problem if you has a chat room on the web site and no one ever used it wouldnt effect anything would it or does make searching and stuff slower on the site(I dont know alot about manging a website). If i didnt take alot of your time or effect the web site just have one and you can set up general times for people to come on. What do you think

he is the admin and i'll jsut leave it to him to deside

I'll look into one

Thanks that is really awesome.

how about an irc room on freenode? i think they are free and very easy to do, just get an irc client and log on?

Bairly anyone here knows how to use IRC.

man. chatzilla for firefox works like a drean. i didn't even know irc existed tll i got chatzilla and i was up and running in 2mins. u have a point though

edit; umm . if i got an irc channel going would you support and link to it? i will if the public opinion agrees that a realtime conversation would be good

ok. here is version 0.1 of the spudfiles irc chat service. it is based on my webspace so i dont know if that will effect it. it requires only a java applet or sumfin. tell me what u think.

No, that is not an official one :p
I used to have an IRC server with a Java based IRC client, all set up really nice so you didn't have to know anything about IRC. But you would be amazed at the ammount of people that don't have Java installed (because it doesn't come with Windows XP).

It confused the crap out of them, and out of the 20 something people that were supposed to come to the chat, only about 3 got in. The rest were IM'ing me saying how it doesn't work.

If I do put a chat up here, it will have to be php based so everyone can use it.
