Title: Does anyone use the chat room?
Post by: Bursar on August 21, 2002, 09:52:32 am
I've popped in a few times, but there never seems to be anyone else in there.

Is it just my bad timing, or is it not really used by anyone?

It's used all the time.  We don't talk no stop though, so don't pop in for 5 secs say: "Is anyone here?" and expect us to reply immediately.  We get those a lot and find it quite funny.

It's not that there are people in there and they aren't talking, it's that there's noone there.

Whenever I've been in, there's been Hal (who I presume is a bot to keep the channel open) and that's it.

I just tried logging in......it seems my address has been banned.  That's nice, considering I've never even been in there before.

Oh Well,

New year, new start.  All chat room bans have been lifted.  Don't forget they're just as easy to put back, please follow the same rules in the chat room that we request for the message boards.  Thanks!

=========== MSG Board Rules ==============

Rules?  We don't need no steeenkin rules!  Well, maybe one.  Be nice to each other.  We're serious about this one.  Disagree, debate, argue at will - but please be respectful.  Messages that are antagonistic or contain profanity will likely be deleted, and repeat offenders banned from posting.  Oh, also - I do not mind the occasional emulation related or other off-topic post.  This is an online community as well as a discussion forum after all.  However, please do bear in mind the intent of the board is to discuss arcade controls and related topics.

Yeah, I am in the chat room quite abit.  Though most of us who are in there regularly are in there toward the late night (10-11 CST).

I like it, I haven't been there as much as I would like. It would be better if more people used it. Its a lot nicer for me now since they allow a regular IRC program to access it, instead of the web front end. Not that there's anything wrong with the web front, I just didn't like it. I'm sure its great for people not used to IRC.

Quote from chatroom link:

If you prefer to use your own irc client, set your server to irc.datasync.com, and you're looking for channel #BYOAC.

Update your jvm?  What version of browser you use?

If not, you can use mIRC.  Add server irc.datasync.com.  room #byoac

The PC I'm using at the moment has IE 5.00.3502.1000.  Client PC so I think I'll leave it as it is.  But at least I know what to do if I find this problem on my PC.

Thanks

Yeah, but it is the work computer so it's not mine to upgrade.

Post by: SirPoonga on March 21, 2003, 01:23:17 am
ahh, my bet is it has an older jvm.

Post by: cdbrown on March 21, 2003, 02:33:59 am
Well, I updated it to IE 6.0.2800 and still no chat room.  All that comes up is a square on the screen that is grey and in the bottom bar it says load: class ConferenceRoom not found.

SirP, where can I get this jvm?  From Microsoft or is it from Sun
