We Need a Chat Room LOL - Page 2

There is no one there because it is an external link and not everyone reads these posts.

Just my .02,

I tend to agree with allfunmotorsports in that if we had chatting then we would miss alot of good stuff cause we were busy elsewhere. I like reading what everyone has to say whether I am there or later. Just my thought.

I have looked into this. Since I'm a bit of a technology control freak (Network Admin/Developer by trade) I'm hesitant to use some of the free IRC services offered on the Internet for quality/security/logging reasons.

That leaves me with basically two option - host my own IRC server or embed some kind of basic chat functionality into the www site. I'm still weighing the pros/cons of each and the affect on bandwidth. I'll keep you posted.

Any update on the chat?

The chatzy type works well for my tractor buddies.

We usually go online about 9pm and chat then. More off-topic than on.

i have a chat room on my Astro Safari van website. We are using Blab! and it works very well. We are using the purchased version, there is also a limited version thats free called Blab Lite. You can get Blab from Hot-things.net

if you can find it and get it to work on your servers, there is also GTchat which is a decent basic chat system.

If you want to use a chatroom here you go. You can add it to the site, or do whatever you want. My account is already paid for through my other websites so this chat room doesn't cost me anything extra.

It is not one of those free chatrooms with tons of ads and crud. I pay network54 for message forums for my website stuff (hyak.net and others).

It looks like China Chat may just be happening after all

mrhyak · 11-02-2007, 10:37 PM

I created the chat room specifically for this site so that when you exit it returns to chinariders.net. I'll leave it active as long as there is interest in using it.

You don't have to create a user account if you don't want. Just put a name in the "guest" box and your name will show up as guest_mrX. If you hit the Option after you login you can add text to your name (I would suggest the type of china bike you have, but that is just a suggestion). So your name if it is MRx would look like:

guest_MrX (Lifan 200 gy5)

or as a registered user

MrX (Lifan 200 gy5)

FYI....

I will have to give it a try. You all will rarely see me in there due to having small children, I don't have try in the evenings alot.

Thanks for setting it up.
