Chat room revival

talonop · Aug 14, 2004

Been scanning the forum archives just now when I found some old threads about an IRC chat room. From what I read, it sounded like you guys had some pretty good activity for a while.

Any chance we could revive it? :sillysmi:

damn, guess not.

I think a lot of people would be up for the idea of it, but getting it started and making it easy for people to use are the tough areas. Anyone out there have ideas for a nice easy approach for making something like this work?

there was that one network, Funnet I think. It was a regular IRC network with a java page on their site to chat in also. That way people with no IRC client could connect, or slackers at work.

There is a phpbb mod thats a chat room...why not try that?

Yeah, that would be awsome. Or we could try a flash chat client, like the one at gfxartist.

The only concern I have with a chat room that sits on this server is possible bandwidth issues. In all fairness, I don't know enough about them to really know what to expect...
