We need a Avalon chat room

Sol Invictus · 12-18-2008, 12:05 AM

we need a chat room

I would love to be able to sit and natter in real time with folks here that would be great.

Now its subscription can a little bit of our dosh go onto a chat room?

Marian-Librarian · 12-18-2008, 12:07 AM

PM Colin or Gareth..only they can do this

Myplanet2 · 12-18-2008, 01:49 AM

my understanding is that this Vbulletin forum software only allows for one chat box.

The staff use the current chat box for staff work.

It would be nice to have another, but I just don't think it can be done without seriously affecting the performance of the whole forum.

Sol Invictus · 12-18-2008, 01:59 AM

Cool. Ill take that back then.

Avalon doesn't need a chat room.

Karen · 12-18-2008, 02:05 AM

There are lots of ways to set up a chatroom. It doesn't need to be V Bulletin. When I get a chance I'll check with the person hosting the indigo-adults free chat room.

But - I think I also heard Joomla, our library program might be able to host chats.

Anything ever happen with this? Voxly can be linked to and it has voice and keyboard chat, very nice.

I'll open a room for a bit in case anyone wants to chat a bit.

We could always find a good IRC server and set up a chatroom there. This is such a great idea though.

I have bots that can post channel conversations simultaneously to a searchable web page. No lost info

So, let as agree which one of the proposals we will use for chatting. I have been few times on Tiny Chat, so it is acceptable for me.

Greetings

morguana · 09-01-2009, 04:34 PM

I think an area to chat in is a very good idea, Oliver I have not heard of tiny chat, how does it work?

as easy as it gets.

Unified Serenity · 09-01-2009, 05:03 PM

It won't let me connect. I get javanet connection exception:connection refused: connect

Oliver · 09-01-2009, 05:11 PM

Boudicca, it is very simply, you just enter the site, enter your name and you are in.

Here is again the chat room link mudra has posted above

http://tinychat.com/projectavalon

I would propose tonight at 21:00 to try to gather there

Greetings

morguana · 09-01-2009, 05:26 PM

Thank you Oliver

sorry for being a dunce!

I'm in there with heavensgate jj oliver and bou

GaiaLove · 09-02-2009, 02:05 AM

I tried the tinychat and though it seems a nice stable interface it lacks alot of what a IRC network offers. This idea has been tossed around before and with some support it would work very well for us.

Here is what I can offer at my expense (time and otherwise):

A small network of IRC servers capabale of supporting 5000 simultaneous users

Services to provide User and Channel registration as well as a memo system and of course network security.

Accessed easily with a IRC client like mIRC or Xchat or through 2 existing web interfaces http://2012info.ca/chat/ or http://maya.2012info.ca/chat/

Posting of public conversations to a web page for near realtime recording of everything said in main channels (still coding it but will be ready in a week or so)

Anyone want to help build this up?

I slept 9 hours, am up now. I'll be in room if anyone wants to chat, grabbing coffee first.

Marian-Librarian · 09-02-2009, 01:42 PM

Hmmmmm....

Have thought that the chat room was nixes due to server space issues and slowing down the site....

perhaps that has changed with the new server....

Ummmm...say again as to where/when......

GaiaLove · 09-02-2009, 02:03 PM

there's 2 options Marian.

I have been working on creating a secure, workable environment at http://maya.2012info.ca/chat/

and there a flash chat box available at http://tinychat.com/projectavalon

If you have a IRC client like mIRC click here irc://maya.2012info.ca

right now there is 5 people in one chat room and 3 in the other one...

why don't we agree on ONE chat room only?

Marian-Librarian · 09-02-2009, 03:13 PM

LOL...<smile>

You have to speak, non-programing speak for some of us!

It seems we have some people who want to gather....

Yes, ONE chat room...I have already enough places

to check daily...don't we all?????

*******

Thoughts on this chat room....

What would be a GOOD, positive topic to start with?

I, for one, do NOT need another place to see negativity...open-mindedness, OF COURSE!!!!!

Would be nice to chat in real time with others here!

Hope to see this happen.

GaiaLove · 09-02-2009, 03:37 PM

I had a few users ask last night if the chat room was part of Avalon since both were rather non-descript. I created one today that I think is more informative and includes a sidebar of this forums latest posts.

http://projectavalon.2012info.ca/

Let me know what you think. Everyone should have a say in this if we are all going to use it.

The owner of the projectavalon.net domain (presumably B&K) can easily create the sub-domain of chat.projectavalon.net and point it there as well
