MuzikTyme Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Good morning everyone. I was wondering how people might feel about a chat room here at Songfacts. I think it'd be a lot of fun and certainly a better way to come up with mutual ideas for the forums as well as the site overall. What say you?

Sara Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Sounds great Muzik! How about you write the code, make it work seamlessly with the site and moderate it 24/7? (joking!) It does sound great and it's something to consider now that we have enough people on the site. However, it also means a lot more work and I'm not so sure we can take it on at the moment. Carl, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Well, sounds promising! I know there has been many occasions for myself when conversation in a thread may've turned to even more interesting conversation not pertaining to the thread topic. I feel that a chat room would be the perfect outlet for people like me and others who always have something on their mind. Random Thoughts is great for this but sometimes conversations are cut short because of forum etiquette. I realize how busy you and Carl are and the site could stay just as it is with no change but added song facts. Yet, there's always a better gunslinger and serious members most likely would like the opportunity to learn more about other serious members in a more relaxed environment while remaining at Songfacts. I'm here all the time so I'll be glad to roll up my sleeves if ali'l labour is involved. I don't mind ali'l dirt and I have regular and round point shovels, along with a good assortment of whips.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I'd love to chat! We pretty much do that anyway, but it would be nice to have a proper place to do it, instead of hijacking threads all the time. I hate to feel like we are leaving people out when we have "personal" conversations. You know I just want everyone to be happy...I am Pollyanna! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I know very little about setting up a chat room, but I'm willing to learn. If there's a reasonably simple way to do it, I don't see any harm. If you guys know anything about how these work, please post some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatleant Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Here's my suggestion - At another music site, they keep a 'pinned' thread at the top of one of the forums with a link to a 'chat room'. I'm pretty sure one of Mindcrime's replies mentions that he moderates a large chat room. Since he has the experience and the know-hows of a chat room, you really can't go wrong there. And another thing, he seems to be a pretty cool guy here. I can't see any harm and technically if things get out of hand, 'Songfacts' can't be held accountable since the chat room is on another domain. That's my two cents. :: Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCyberdemon Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 You could always have an MIRC channel or appelet. I know there has been many occasions for myself when conversation in a thread may've turned to even more interesting conversation not pertaining to the thread topic. Ohh, I can't wait.

windy1 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 If it could be worked out chat would be lovely. I know it would be a lot of work but there seems to be several qualified volunteers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Great idea, Muzik, I couldn't agree more. I'm with ants suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 There's free Java chatrooms available. I'm not sure how they work or how to set them up. Me, I'm a big IRC freak, plus there's plenty of free IRC clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSYCHOcatholic Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I think a Chat would be cool, even if someone started one on AIM each night, and posted the room number/name in Songfacts. You could have a different topic each night. Different people could run it or start it each night. It would be a good temporary solution i think til we can have something more suitable.

Aunt_Acid Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 That's a great idea! We should do that right now. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 oh damn, that reminds me, MSN lets you create your own chat room. It's so easy. I guess just like aim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Never mind. MSN now wants $20/year to chat. I hate Micro$oft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 We could always go to iSketch and make our own chat room. That way you wouldn't need AIM for it. We could just call the room songfacts or something, and we would use our names from songfacts. This could work as a temporary solution until the chat issue gets worked out here.
