DM Org Convo

[Tigara]

I am planning to hold a general DM Org convo on MSN. I think it would be a good way for people in other orgs to meet each other. It will be held on Wednesday ,February 14, at 7:00 Standard Pacific Time ( North American West Coast ). You can either add me to your MSN, or PM me your address. Mine is sclub7fanatic@hotmail.com and my MSN name will be Tim/Tigara. I look forward to seeing you there.

ummm that's Valentine's Day...

I think that some are going to have different plans...

[Arya Ellesméra]

Indeed. I love you guys and all, but I just happen to love my boyfriend a little more than to ignore him for web chat time. :shock:

 

Maybe if you tried a different night?

[Demandred Valerius]

i dunno, if anything ill prolly be at work.... not sure, too lazy to convert the times.

[JenniferL]

I would love to be there, but I absolutely CANNOT do it on Valentines Day.

[MsDanya]

I cant do it at 4 am! or valentines day for that matter :P

[Tigara]

I knoiw it's Valentines Day, but that is the only time my parents would let me. Sorry. :(

[JenniferL]

If Wednesday is the only day you can do it (and generally that works for me), we should move the launch day to the 21st.

[Leane_Shariff]

*nods* sorry Tig but i just don't see many people online on Valentine's Day..most of us have other plans. The following Wednesday sounds good though!

[Tigara]

I could change the Wednesday, but then it could get WAY too big and everyone's comps might crash. Even if I divide them up, mine might crash.

[Demandred Valerius]

If your pc crashes from MSn.... you have a serious issue....

 

just use irc, i know not everyone uses it, but it isnt hard to use or set up, there hare hundreds of how to blah blah online, and its free, and wont crash even with 200+ joined.

[Zardi]

I'm single. I have no conflicts :roll:

[Jhaenara]

MSN chats can be a pain with a lot of people in them, but it shouldn't crash a comp (I guess unless your comp is older). But yeah, what Val said. It's much easier to do something like this in IRC. And somebody could possibley set up a chat script to connect to an IRC server so ppl don't have to get mIRC (or other IRC program). I used to be able to do it, but I don't have my own webspace to host it anymore.

 

There's always this chat too: http://www.sg-org.com/boards/chat/flashchat.php'>http://www.sg-org.com/boards/chat/flashchat.php

 

I believe this is where you can go to sign up for it: http://www.sg-org.com/boards/chat/

 

I don't think anyone's used this chat (was set up by Roka) in a long time, but it's still there and could be a convenient alternative.

I just get massive lag time in huge MSN convos, which ultimately makes my MSN crash. Well, it is the Mac version of MSN as well...

 

And the lag time is one reason I hate massive MSN convos.

[JenniferL]

I'm probably the only one who remembers when we used to do massive ICQ chats back in the day. The entire site would get on, all twelve of us, and we'd giggle to the wee hours of the morning and curse at Matalina's dinosaur of a computer that kept crashing on her. Ah, memories...

 

I'm going to second the IRC suggestion. It's really the only thing that seems to be able to handle more than a handful of people.

[Jhaenara]

I only did a few ICQ chats b/c it was annoying... mainly because not everyone would hook up to each other. So I could see Bob, but not Gertrude, and Gertrude and Bob could see each other... argh...

 

(Names were changed to protect the innocent).

[JenniferL]

"I can see Ben!!! Why can't Ben see me??? AHHHH!!!!"

[Matalina]

God I hated ICQ chat. The PC gods ate well then from dust bunnies to dinosaurs .. oiy

 

I so wish I still had the Pic Joe did of my PC back then

A long time ago, on an ICQ far, far away...

 

<Maarin> *laughs then gives a deep curtsy*

<Rand al'Thor> *startled!* Where did she go?

<Ben> Who? Maarin?

<Maarin> Hey, where'd Phoenix go?

<Ben> Great, can't you two see eachother?

<Ben> I see both of you.

<Rand al'Thor>

<Maarin> *Laughing* No I can't see Phoenix!!!

<Rand>

<Ben> Nope, you both are still here, but I guess you can't see eachother.

<Ben>

<Rand> *falls to knees*

<Rand> *looks ahead for a sec*

<Rand al'Thor>

<Ben> Maarin, no, he's still here.

<Maarin> No...My board says he left the chat room...*sighs*

<Ben>

<Rand> ............

<Rand> tell Maarin I will be back. Copy my last words over

[Tigara]

Sounds complicated. :? I think I'll stick to MSN for now and if I do one later, I'll try it out.

[Tigara]

Just reminding you that the convo is today, but because I have been called to work tonight, the convo probably won't start until 8 or later.

[Adanza]

I'll see ya then!

before i go to bed, one last comment...

 

we should make this a regular thing! it was so much fun! :D

[Tigara]

It was fun!!!! We could do it regularily. We could have an mostly American one and a mostly European one. Someone else wold have to lead the European though. I could lead a convo once a month, probably on a Wednesday, and the European convo can be held a different part of the month. Any volunteers to lead the European one?

[JenniferL]

I can't make these unless you hold them earlier in the evening.
