ChatRoom for 4th gen site?!?!?

back when the site was using a HB forum i created a chatroom for the site. stupid HB went down for like a month and so i don't think anyone even knew about the room. so it died as quickly as it was created.

EF9JDM (aka Daylight) created a room for some friends to chat. i would like to give it a try, open to everybody, and see if it gets used. if it appears that there are some people there at different times of the day, i'll hook up the old chat room again. it doesn't move as slow (for the 56K peeps)

please stop by: temp chatroom (http://www.4thgenerationcivic.com/damian%20test%20page.htm) i'm not for sure if it requires you have an AIM screen name. if that is the case, please stop by: www.AIM.com (http://www.aim.com) and you can create a name for free :D

let the chats begin....

ami

nobody wants to talk to you ami.

LOL! :D:bloated:

i will check out the chat room later. Right now I am at school and we dont have aim and it is not possible to install. (well it is but i could get in trouble)

i'd get on it right now but im at work. Cant use AIM on these computers. bah.....

Yeah, I don't think that AIM will work through my firewall... :(

that's sure funny jason...as soon as i got in there 5 more people jumped in.

why don't you look before you speak?

I'd recommend everybody drop by once in a while, this is even cooler than the forum especially for newbies like me who have a ton of questions. So far I've gotten more answers because some of the technical people (like Ami) are there to answer them.

:(
It won't let me in! I'm new to AIM so maybe there's something I don't know, but when I clicked on the link "join my chat room" nothing happened. I'm not using AIM messenger, could that be the problem? I'm using a universal service called Trillian (because in one program I'm logged on to MSN, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, and IRC, and can even log in multiple usernames of the same service eg. yahoo).
Help!

P.S. If anyone likes the sound of Trillian it can be downloaded for free at www.trillian.cc

for all of you who dont want to download aim, or if you wanna chat at work or school, here is a little ghetto chat i just threw together it works of of nothing but ur browser

click here to chat without downloading anything or if you have a firewall (http://glowkidz.s5.com/custom.html)

sorry ami, not trying to steal ur mojo

Thanks, Slammed89Civic

Can't log in properly... Says:

"failed to connect to server: Unknown Error
Java.net.NoRouteToHostException: Operation Timed Out"

Any ideas?

I was using the default settings for chat server and room...

yea...see how you are ;)

again, this is just a temp thing to see if people actually use the chatroom.

if you would like to create a chatroom for 4thgenerationcivic.com i'll link up to it

ami

I'm using trillian as well and couldnt get in :(

trillian sounds cool. But the problem is is that AOL doesent want other messenger services coming into its server, so its probably something they did.

seriously, that's too bad. the chatroom had a bunch of people last night..but not nearly as many as could have been because it's on AOL.

slammed89civic is working on a chatroom everybody can access. i think he's gonna even add voice chat for anyone who might wan to use that option.

i'm happy to say more people joined that chat then i expected... everybody chatted nice... some people got some tech ? answered... and there were a good amount of people in there at different times :jump:

could a mod make this a sticky, or possibly stick a link to the chatroom somewhere, cause that would be real helpful

Im should still be in the chat even though im at work.I let my computer idle in it :) If im there ill talk but if im not just check my info and you can find out what im doin.

YES MAKE A STICKYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:DTTT:D

the last couple of nights we've had 25+ people...including another FEMALE other than myself!

female racers......DROOL lol j/k but it is nice to see more female racers umong us!
