Author Topic: Chat line Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-22-1999 11:08 PM                     I think that the chat line is a good idea.I have tried to make contact with people but no one seems to be there perhaps there is somthing that I am doing wrong any, ideas.Have any of you used the chat line as yet? ------------------  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-23-1999 12:22 AM                     Basically, someone's gotta start it. What you have to do is go into the room and "turn on entrance alerts" so the system will make a noise when someone else checks in. This allows you to surf while remaining in the chat room. From that point on a chat has been started, other people typically will wander in "to see if anyone's in there" and it starts getting going pretty good. ...but someone's gotta start it.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-23-1999 07:57 PM                     Tried the chat line but Know one wants to chat,I'll keep trying. ------------------  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-08-2000 03:03 AM                     I'm game. How do you get there?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-08-2000 05:45 AM                     Currently I'm still working out a few bugs with the chat program. I hope to have it running by next week. At the recommendation of a few members, we will start setting a day aside each week for a scheduled live chat for anyone who wants to come join in. The topic will be predecided and will be different each week. So what date/time is best for everyone? Saturday early afternoons have been suggested. (And no I have no idea how to best suit all of our Australian friends.)  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-08-2000 05:50 AM                     Hey, Brad... With 601 posts, you should be a 'Jedi Master Film Handler', don't you think? (just don't drag out your sidekick, Jar Jar)  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-08-2000 05:56 AM                     Since I am the "moderator", the program won't bump me up until a regular user hits the next level. Currently the non-moderator with the most posts would be my sidekick Jar Jar (aka: Joe Redifer). Then it'll bump me up to his level...which is at 500 posts.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-08-2000 06:02 AM                        Jar Jar? I see. Therefore I must announce my retirement from posting here at Film-Tech. I know that will make many of you happy beyond words. When somebody else reaches near-500 posts, I will break into Brad's server and delete their file (Ha!). Brad will NEVER be able to advance! Ha ha ahha hahahahahhahaha! The POWER!!!!!!!!
