Looks like I need to fire up a chat room. Been noticeing the post times as of late, especially on some of these more controversial posts. Rapid fire posting indeed. Would be fun to see some of these wars in real time, while I'm working of course. No need for it when I'm off. I just login to AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Cc that apache! That's one of the best ideas I've seen in a while!
Is there a webbased chat room somewhere where no one is in we can raid?
-
Great idea! Now how?
-
there are a lot of freebie chat rooms on the net, but I think something implemented through the HTC pages would get better traffic..
Hmm, Skuzzy might have a better idea of how much load the HTC can take. I have a feeling that a chat room would be pretty popular.

If you have no problem with java based chat's, I can have one up shortly on a temp basis until I got a dedicated one going. What say you?
-
I think we have to have it tied into HTC's website...like Moose posted, can you shoot them an email with the idea?
-
Java works fer me

Apache, great Idea. Just what I need another thing to keep me away from work. lol (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Now I understand how Wobble hit 1000 posts in a month. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Nice idea, but I doubt it will work.
A guy tried it with WB, was never anyone on it. It would be nice to have if it eliminated some from thinking Ch 1 was a chat room tho. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I think there are more people who check HTC's website every 10 min then iEN's.
Reason for that should be self explanatory. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) So a chatroom might work.

Yes Moose11, im addicted to this chatroom...

I wonder why and how much bandwith a small java-based chatroom would take up. If it can't hurt, why not try it?
-
I think it's a great idea for those slow-posting days.

<Slapping left forearm> BBS is the best fix I can get while at work.
Chat room… not sure I’d have a pay check much longer after it opened (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

There is a fundamental problem with a real time chat server.
It would require another server for HTC, as real-time chat servers have to allocate resources for each connection, much like the way AH does. Taking those resources away from the current servers could cause some players to not be able to connect to the server for playing, due to too many resources being used. Not good.
Security would also be an issue. A rather nasty issue in fact.
Just FYI.

Just use IRC...
www.mirc.com (http://www.mirc.com)
After you install mirc just go into add server and put this in:
irc.enterthegame.com
then hit connect and type in /join #<channelname> in the text box.
I will set up and register an "#AcesHigh" channel there. So just connect to the server and type in /join #aceshigh or type it in the pop-up box.
IRC is much better than any java stuff, especially since you can share files etc.

Aren't there viruses that have passed amongst users of IRC?
-
laff, probably, along with every other chat proggie.

HTC doesn't have to host it, Skuzzy. All they would need to do is put a link up off the main page, toss in another, intermediate, page saying that the chat is not an official HTC service and is hosted by [xxxxxx] refer any problems or complaints to [xxxx@email.com] and send them on their way with another link.
This would be a community service by HTC, much like the squadron links, Indian's AH manual (when it was there), the gunsight and sounds gallery.
A chat sounds like a great idea to me. It would let potential customers get a feel for the great community here in real time, give immediate help for technical and training problems, and help get the passionate anger posts off the main board. And if you have an idea you can get a preliminary feel for its receptance before posting.
I say go for it. So's who can host this thing?

Amen!
IRC has been around almost as long as the Internet itself. (Well, I'm exagerating just a little. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))
The resources are all already there.
It's not that hard to learn.
As a matter of fact, newsgroups were not that hard to learn either... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
