BeBop Posted November 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 It's the new thing! Hardly new. The porno sites have had chat rooms for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 It's crazy in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 It's crazy in there. it's big fun, but how does it all work? Can you set up rooms yourself so you can go into seclusion and discuss stuff seriously and without all the fowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yes you can. I'm not sure how you invite people once the room is setup, however. The name of the software is ParaChat and I'm sure they have a manual on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Downloaded/installed (probably redundantly) all the Java stuff, rebooted/etc. and get: Exception: javs.lang.NullPointerException followed by Laoding Java Applet Failed Any ideas?

Maybe it's your browser? I'm using Firefox and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I tried to install the stuff from Sun Microsystems as well (Microsoft is no longer offering the software, despite the link on the "Live Chat" page). The installation crashed, but then the chat function appears to be working nevertheless. I just enetered the chat room, and - guess what - noone else there!

Peter Johnson Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Anyone running on a mac get it to work? I tried with Opera, Safari, and even (gasp) IE, no luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I think all that energy expended in the chat room could be directed in more posts to the forum. But that's just me. Couw? Brownie? Chuck? Ping ping ping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Thay type of 'energy' (ritalin, anyone?) is best left to dissipate in that type of live chat environment. ~~~~~~~~~~ Here's an idea: If anyone's misbehaving, they're temporarily banned from the board and are sequestered in their very own live chat room. Good place to take a time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeCity Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Anyone running on a mac get it to work? I tried with Opera, Safari, and even (gasp) IE, no luck... I chatted for a while this afternoon on my Mac running Safari. Seemed to work fine. Takes several seconds for the java thing to work itself out and start running, then it was fine.

Peter Johnson Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Huh, weird... I just get a blank box. It works fine from work ( ) just fine. ChrisA mentioned updating Java, but I'm not sure how to do that. Help! Anyone running on a mac get it to work? I tried with Opera, Safari, and even (gasp) IE, no luck...

randissimo Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Earlier there was a window for the chatroom down by the users list between birthdays & board staitics, listing who was in there. Now it's disappeared from the forums. How dio I get that feature back? Edited November 24, 2005 by randissimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 As best I can tell, if nobody is in the Chat area, that listing at the bottom goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randissimo Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 As best I can tell, if nobody is in the Chat area, that listing at the bottom goes away. Hmmm .. I went in the chatroom, minimized the window and went to the forums to see if the chatroom was there and it wasn't even though I was in there ..

If you were in there, how could you have been out here? cuz over there you are not here, nor here there... did you refresh, while you weren't here?

That's a very existential question... That's just what I ask myself every day! Maybe we should open a separate Existentialist chat room. Problem is, once you went in, there'd be no exit.
