I found a java based chat host called Parachat.

Here is the link:

Roto Redux Chat!

I set the Width and Height for my display, so if they don't work for you try this instead:

Roto Redux Chat!

Now all we have to do is choose a date/time.

How about Monday and Thursday nights @ 10pmEast/7pmWest?

Is anyone available to test the site now? Or tonight (Wednesday) @ 10/7?

I just linked in to it.

Those days should work for me - I can handle pretty routine duties on either Monday or Thursday night. I should be available to test it out tonight. See some of you around 10!

The chat seems to work... I'm sitting in here now if anyone would like to join me?

Sorry Havok, I showed up about 10 pm CST so I was a couple hours off from the chat thing. I would like to help with the chat but I have a baby boy on the way any day now so I won't be able to help (at least mentally) for the first couple of weeks when he's born. Thanks for the hookup Bookie and it works great when I tried it.

i also was occupied tonight. i will work it in.

i also was occupied tonight. i will work it in.

Excellent. I haven't checked out the site yet but I will later today. Looks like we're coming together.
Anyway to capture chat transcipts? Not sure if the moderator can just copy and paste the whole chat. Might be an idea.

BCBarney,

There is a second chat site that allows you to capture the transcript. I was saving it as a backup option to the Parachat site.

Roto Redux Chatzy

Chatzy does allow some Admin capabilities that Parachat doesn't have. I thought Parachat was easier to use though.


You guys choose - either one works for me!

Do we have a regular time/day for the chats? I'm not sure if any days were agreed upon. Once the day/time is agreed upon, we can promote it on the blog and in one of the pinned topics. I was thinking on coming by the chat this week that's why I bring it up.

Somewhere we mentioned Mondays and Thursdays @ 10:00pm EST/7:00pm PST.

We were hoping for a moderator on the chats, but that really isn't necessary. All we need is a reliable time to meet in the chat.

Alright so Monday & Thursdays @ 10 EST/7 PST.

Bob - can you edit your pinned "Important RR sites/links" post to include the chat times with the links?

I'll try to be around tomorrow night then.

Do we have any interest around here in trying to get this thing going again? Now that we have some more members we have a shot to draw a decent audience. Let's start with picking one constant day of the week and time and go with that for now. Wednesday or Thursday nights work best for me - I'm thinking something along the lines of 9 or 10 pm EST?

Let me know what you guys think - hoping we can get this thing really going now that we're in full-swing of the baseball season.

I'll just be sitting in here for a bit tonight hoping someone shows up. Feel free to join.

EDIT (10:45): Still here, me and Postman just chatting.

shit i missed it, signed in at 11:15.

Doh! I completely missed this. I'll try to make the next one.

Yeah, I think I'll keep showing up regularly on Wednesday nights at 10 pm EST. I may be able to make it on some Thursdays after The Office (can't miss the best show on TV).

Nice work, gentlemen. I will also stop by.

Not sure if anyone checked in before but I just got to the chat now (10:34 EST). Feel free to stop in.

in at 11:24. (cst) dammit missed it again.

Wanted to stop by but was working and didn't get home until 1:30 am.

Anyone going to be around tonight?

Just wanted to say thanks to Nats, Postman, Daver, and guylake for stopping in last night - had some useful discussions and a good time. Let's hope for some more traffic next week. Come one, come all (I don't like talking to myself)!

Were you guys chatting tonight. I just logged but no one was there. Still at the office and finally got a bit of a break!
