Chat Room: we lucky few

last nite we luck few, we band of brothers
got to play with something new
a proto chat room dispite odd things happening at the 04 end causing it to be abit slow it was a great first
Then weird happened ---- been fixed so ....no need to carry on about it
but some post end up in Nanas venting room that need to be some where else so here they are
//can the seconds part of the time disappear? Tad annoying.
And what is there stopping people from pretending they are someone else?
I know, early days but yeah.

Stefan

Forums: NZ Music,

i would be interested in what the others who found it by what ever means, thought?

how many of us experienced it? i logged in at 7 this morning and nana and dust were the only two to have spoken it seemed. bloody great tho, i've been waiting for a live chat for ages!

about two seconds after i logged out, i thought the same as stefan - oh shit, while i'm at school some bastard is gonna come in and impersonate me. my solution to that would be a registered (ie have to use your password to register as yourself) chat room.

restricting it so guests couldn't come in without having a name/profile isn't really that bad (i can see it coming up as a complaint) because that's what you need to have to be able to post in the forums at present - let's keep the rules the same.

i was just thinking tho, it would be cool if the chat programme was quite simple, so as to not detract from the forums - ok that's a little pet fear of mine, i know it probably won't happen but hmmm i really don't want everyone deserting the forums for the chat.

for those that weren't lucky enough to be there last nite/this morning, it consisted of a dialogue box and a message box on the side saying who had entered and left and when. not a very good explanation i know, and i probably missed stuff (i was too busy typing stuff to myself with a big cheesy grin) but that's the basics i think.

basically i think this should remain the same, but possibly have the seperate forums (general, artists etc) in different chat rooms to spread out the load and/or provide different sorts of convos to suit people's mood.

when can we expect that link back again dusty?

// restricting it so guests couldn't come in without having a name/profile isn't really that bad

or just make it that non-registered users have a 'guest' name -- useful if they're just dropping for a quick chat and don't want to spend 5 minutes registering...

soory you were in the chat on your own i was out in the forums added the last words to a post from the nite before, i popped in to the Venting room to see if the link was gone and was superpized to see that it was being used
the chat you miised from the nite before was about logging in and dust at that time was thinking thatit should /could be optional to use you NZM name
this worried me at the time and still does the impersonation bit hadn't entred my mind for me it was a case of wanting to "know" who it was i was talking to

as for the types of rooms i had thought that to create a strong devision between the formus and the chat and also to show off my humor?????
the could have names like this
The big comfy chair and the jug is always at the boil room
the smoke filled room
the rawk room
the guys in black jeans room
the girls in white pants room
the teenage angst room
the large foam baton room
the do not disturb, we are having a closed chat room
the only if you are invited may you speak, but feel free to listern room

it would also be neat if there were little note on the doors to the room saying who was in and the last 2or 3 messages, just to let you know what was happening before you opened the door

and yes the way the text was formated was up side down each new message appearing above the last made it very tricky to follow

there was a chat room on here??? was it only temporary or something?? man i need to start paying more attention...

i dont know if it was just me..but some of my messages weren't going through..it was pretty annoying
it was interesting tho

at my end the messages went up quick but had to wait for ages for anyone to take back but not as long as on the forums but Proto meaning prototype i thinK there was a problem in weely town this morning stephan looked like he also was having problems

heh, what is with the "ph", I think I'll never understand : )
The only really problem I was having was it wasn't refreshing until I sent a message, anything
else was my stupid ISP.
