Bomber chatroom?

[kamran]

Is it reasonable/desireable to think of a carving chatroom at this or any other site, where once a week people could gather and exchange info on gears/resorts/techs,.... live?,....:confused:

[Randy S.]

Kamran,

Not enough chics here for you to have a chance of picking up women in a chat room here. Better off on Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org) http://tinypic.com/atb3r

[stoked]

what came up in my mind was an option to instant message other online users ... like you see that list of other users that are logged in and sometimes it's someone you know and you could instant message him with a little window popping up for private conversation like in the old days of Napster and of course a general chat would be cool too ...

[Steve Dold]

It's OK as long as you can turn it off.

[LeeW]

hmm. perhaps we could have #bomberonline on undernet.org ?

But private message is different than chat room, it is like boards internal email system, but chat room is more for real time typing between parties. But this will easily generate quite alot bandwidth, specially if there is lots of folks and lots of usage.
We have both in use and they really are for different kind usage.
PM's for more serious , private question or issues and chat is more daily chit-chat :D

Hey steve, how's work? Is this the new BOL chatroom?

[Hugh]

I'm taking a break at work too. Looking at my post count, I only need a few more to become a Senior Member.

I need to get my gear out of the closet this week and start cleaning it up and adjusting...

[Hugh]

Steve,

I can see that this will work pretty well. and anyone that isn't interested could ignore it or even type in too.

The orginal poster for this thread could delete the thread after the chat session...anyone else?

[Hugh]

Gotta get back to work now. Talk soon...

100 posts!

Wow Hugh, you shouldn't have any problem posting 100. ahha

I was hoping for a real time and a "real" chat room (maybe java based)/voice activated. It maybe loaded on this site if moderators would be willing to allow it. It doesn't have to run all the time, but maybe monday night(or any other night) once or twice a week for a limited 1 or 2 hours.

Alternatively, it could be simply created on sites such as yahoo or paltalk.com with a link on BOL indicating time and day of the carving chat session.

On those sites (yahoo.paltalk) you can find chatrooms dedicated to sports/politics/movies/fashion,...etc.

So, why not a carvers room?

[LeeW]

Im thinking along the line of IRC.

[Gumby]

I would like to see an IRC form of chat also. Anything new on this?

I see that Bomber does have a Private Message feature, but I can't figure it out? Does anyone know if it works or what the deal is with it? Whenever I tried to get to it, it says something like "Administrator has disabled this service."

I think it'd be great to have some kind of private message thing..

Fin has deactivated the PM feature on the forum. I think he did it because on some other forums, some people would not check the PM as often as theyu checked the forum so it created misunderstandings. This is if I remeber correctly.

Can't be that hard -- go get a IRC platform, and sign on to any undernet's server and set up #bomberonline ?

[kamran]

Uldis,
that would work too.
I started this thread a long time ago and it seems like there are some people interested in a carving chatroom (even for maybe one or two days a week). We just need someone to put it up. I also noticed that there are many sport and nonsport permanent rooms at paltalk (www.paltalk.com).

Anyhow, many ways to set this up, but it'd really be cool if that would also have a link from this forum, so that you could be directed to the room. But I guess that's up to interest and willingness of this forum's moderators and so far there is none.

[UK40]

I mean chat for one-idea'd people.


P.S. Look on my thried "Let's Skype?"

THANKS FOR ANSWERING.

[kamran]

Will do Uldis,
thanks again.
