New Chat Room

[Webmonkey]

I'm testing a chat program for the boards. Let me know what you think of it by clicking on the icon at the top of the boards.

Use any existing name and board password you have to log in, then I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know what you think about it.

It's kinda sweet.

But, if you can, it seems to store everything in that's been said there.

I joined and got to see a colorful message about how you roll, even though you said it like 2 hrs before I got there. Dunno if that's a glitch (or even something you want to change), just pointing it out.

It shows the last thing said in the chat room.

I like it!

I enjoy chillin' inside the Cathedral of Flesh.

It's comfy.

So the good news is, it's very customizable - the bad news is - if you pay for it. That chat room is about $18 per month. There is a very non-customizable (kinda crappy) version of it for free though - but it doesn't let you do much of anything cool.

[Ross]

If what's currently up is the free version, I think it's more than enough for what we'd need it to do in a pinch, in the way of communications.

But that's just me.

Alas, what you see before you is the paid version. (I shelled out a few bucks to test it. The free version is way less cool.

[Abby/Blood Offerings]

it made noise at me........

but it looks really cool, and will probably be helpful with mid-week scenes that people want ot run, but don't chare any other sort of messenger service.

I think it's pretty awesome. It's empty every time I go in there, but... yeah, it's a good tool.

[Janet]

My only problem is that no one is ever in it!

[Samurai Ichido Hamza]

Nice... very nice.

Can't wait to see more people in it

In my experience, the way to get people to use the chat room is to schedule a time for people to go there. Random meetups are far to space to support it unless there is a user userbase.

For the money it costs and the lack of use, it's pretty clear it's not worth it. Thanks for trying it out though, and for the feedback!
