G'day TW,

I dont know if its only me but I cannot connect to the server.

[tail wheel]

I connected immediately at 1935 AEST today. It is a third party chat room.

Jumped in on Friday night jumped straight in, lonely but

[OzExpat]

Takes a while to load when yer restricted to dial-up access...
Can also be pretty lonely in there.


I've even changed me deodorant... just in case!

[kev_laline]

Just been chatting for about 45 minutes, all good stuff, let's hope we see a few more people using this room.

[OzExpat]

Hey tw, why isn't the Chat Room listed in the forums page?

[PPRuNeUser0171]

Would be good as it's akward to find and very, very empty.

[tail wheel]

No idea Oz. It was to be included in the forum listing but all gone quiet since we were first advised.

That is odd - I can't get it to open......

I'll ask the questions of the guys in long pants.

[OzExpat]

Looks like the question might've been too hard for them, eh tw?

[PPRuNeUser0171]

Maybe it would be easier to create a new thread in the main forum? Seems a bit odd to have the "advert" for the chatroom stuck in a corner....

[tail wheel]

I posted the question in our Admin Forum (The Mod House) a few days ago but got ignored.

My guess the Chat Room is not a high priority. I know there is a massive site upgrade due soon and assume it may be included in that?

[PPRuNeUser0171]

I find it a little worrying that the mods ignore a question....... If it is not a high priority they should say so.

Hell, it's easy enough to setup a proper IRC chat server and whack a link on the front page.

[goldypilot]

chatroom or empty room???? i havent figured it out yet

[PPRuNe Towers]

Empty, as you discovered GP

A big empty chatroom.

[OzExpat]

That's such a pity PT. I haven't caught up with you since 2006.

[kev_laline]

The room has been open every day, just not many users.

Have chatted with 2 users at once about 10 days ago, one in each hemisphere.

[ElPerro]

Chat room software drops space bar characters occasionally whilst typing quickly.

[PPRuNeUser0171]

Tell it to Meebo as it's their software

and

Type slightly slower. I don't think there is any reason to need to rush in a chat room....

[PPRuNeUser0171]

The chat room isn't exactly advertised in a prominent place.

What would people say to arranging a chat room session?

E.g. Friday 11th Sept at 21:00 UTC?
