Okay I bet alot of you are thinking what the hell i'm I on about we have chat on this site but hare me out 1st

OKay so sure  this say has chat but only for AIM members so I was thinking what about the people how don't have AIM or don't want it and they can use there paperdemon name and everyone can chat with out having to get AIM sure it may have to be opened with Java like alot of the chat site I've been on but it does seem like a good idea no? so RB what do you think chat where people without AIM can talk on?

We use to have that but it took up alot of bandwidth, and people didn't use it back then, that's why BR got rid of it. I donno if the current traffic changes this though. The chat box is getting more attention than it use to...

I know where the AIM chatroom is- you're wanting an in house one? We use to have one but Susie took it down. Not enought people used it at a time for it to work.

Besides, if there's a problem with it being AIM, I was violently against downloading it, but I did so for the chat room. It's not big, and frankly, a whole bunch of friends of mine now cat with me cause of it. I just need to tone down on the amount I chat at the moment cause of my hand.

Yes we had an inhouse chatroom a long time ago. The thing is with chatrooms they take up a lot of system resources. They hog bandwidth and slow down the server because it requires a constant connection to the database. I took it down because one, people weren't really using it that much, and two, even if people were using it more, i'd still have to take it down because it requires so many resources.

The AIM chat is not housed on PD's server so it doesn't use any of PD's resources. Another solution would be to use an IRC channel. I do have one set up but I haven't passed out the info on the channel yet.

Here's the info if you'd like to connect to the IRC channel:
irc.freenode.net
port 6666
channel: paperdemon

i think that's all the info needed to connect, right? i'm still new to the whole IRC thing.

The only thing I say you should add is that an IRC client is required. The most popular client is mIRc, but Trillian will also work.  Bogus, you may want to put this info in a more prominent place as well.

it's not like AIM where you create an account. You just name yourself whatever you want your name to be.
