Chat Rooms

[whiterose]

Same result I'm afraid, I followed the instructions to the letter, no wonder so few people are there.  There must be an easier alternative.

Try this http://psifly.com/resources/apchat it's simple but works.

Well, I did go somewhere, although I appeared to be alone.  Maybe it's a chatroom for meditation

Seriously though, is this related to the other room i've been trying to reach or something different?

It's completely different. Personally I hate IRC chats and there are just too many people who have problems getting in ... it's just not worth it. What I setup is just a very simple chat that I installed on one of my sites and figured everyone would be able to use. I have 4 other types but this requires the least effort on my part. If it gets used I'll setup another one with more bells 'n whistles. If it doesn't get used I'll just delete it.

*one vote for more bells 'n whistles*

I'll second that Gary.  Although there do apear to be some issues surrounding this site and chat rooms.  Does anyone know what they are?

I have a couple of X7 chats which has more options including private rooms and private conversations etc. It is also easily embeded into SMF forums (like this one). http://www.x7chat.com you can check out the demo there.

I also have a couple of instances of http://phpopenchat.org/ though this is the level at which some people start having problems.

After that there are the java based chats but like IRC too many people have problems to make it useful ... though there is one cool one where everyone can draw at once which is fun for remote viewing stuff.

After that I have a TeamSpeak VoIP server available it's a real time voice communication thing. It can handle about 60 people though people have to be nice or it's impossible to tell who is saying what.

As for "issues" with this site and chat rooms I'm pretty sure it's just a lack of interest and or coordination.

Hey,

As for "issues" with this site and chat rooms I'm pretty sure it's just a lack of interest and or coordination.

It's none of the above I think we'll take another close look at this topic and let you now asap. 

[whiterose]

Sounds promising.  Even if the obstacles to an on site chat room are too much, then certainly with grigori's help we should be able to come up with something. 

[Grigori]

Well the X7 chat is easy to embed in SMF forums so registered users autologin with their usernames. It also has negligible bandwidth or space requirement and installs in just a few minutes. So if this topic gets re-revaluated I'd recommend X7  anything else and the admins and mods will get lots of questions of why the chat doesn't work ... 

Oh but if your serverhost allows java servelets "Babylon chat" is lots of fun atleast for the people who don't have java issues

Hey!

This happens to be one of the main issues to discuss...Please stay patient guys. Discussion in progress 

[whiterose]

Sorry, been pretty busy recently.  Are discussions still ongoing?

[Grigori]

Does anyone know what happened to Hannah b? The last PM I recieved from her was in June and actually said she would contact me within 48 hours. I've PMed her and tried an email address but so far nothing and it looks like she hasn't logged in since August 8

Hey all

I have plenty of web space on my VPS server & currently use Flashchat, a demo of which can be seen at the Authors Website http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm

If you like it I can happily install another copy of the software for all of you to use, the only thing I would need is a couple of volunteers who'd like to be mods of the chat as I am tied up with so much other stuff I wouldn't have time to chat very often

But with all that database & web space I would be happy to install it on one of my domains for you guys to use

I use it with a fansite I run, not many mebers use it as they happily use the shoutbox instead & like mentioned previously its hard for so few members to organise an online chat at the same time

Anyway, let me know if anyone is interested in a chatroom & I will happily set it up

Hi everyone,

For me I use Palktalk.com chat rooms.

There are a few astral chat rooms there, and its very easy to create your own chat rooms also.

Sincerely,
