Author	Topic: Who in here would be in favor of...
Falck Pilot	posted 01-25- 09:01 PM An IRC channel? Would be a nice way to get together when were working on projects. I'd also like to use it for chat sessions with MH and crew if they'd be so kind as to participate. And eventually a bot to automagically give a person the latest patches/updates they need. If anyone is interested just say so and I'll get the channel registered. IP: Logged
d0gmA General	posted 01-26- 07:55 AM I would be in favor of it. I think it would be nice to have a place where we could go to just discuss things in real time and meet other new SDOEers. Count me in. IP: Logged
kopper JAG	posted 01-26- 08:07 AM Sounds interesting. Given how small the community is it would appear that it's use would be minimal. Prime example is the ICQ list. I rarely see more than 4 guys active at a time and it's alway the same 4. ------------------ Kopper Fortunae Nihil (Nothing to Chance) OPPs Making SDOE a Dangerous place. One plane at a time.

Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-26- 11:42 AM Spanky here... Yeah the chat in ICQ would work great if more people would just join the list. I find its not used anywhere close to as much as i had hoped. I'm not sure why its not. But its still great to have. IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 01-26- 11:48 AM Yeah but IRC has a lot of advantages over ICQ imho. First of all it doesnt take up 10MB of RAM like ICQ. Also I hate the fact that you have to register for ICQ. I prefer anomynity whenever possible. Anyway, I have the channel #openplane registered on Newnet (www.newnet.net) for those interested. Lets give it a while and see what happens. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-26- 11:58 AM Spanky here... 10 megs of ram? i never noticed that. Not that i ever looked. IRC doesn't tell you when friends are online. ITs just chat Icq is WAY more then chat. but they both have there uses. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-26- 12:00 PM Spanky here... I never use IRC (have just a couple times and i have the unfortunate experince of finding the people on all the channels i tried being assholes.) can someone point me do a DL of a icq program. Thanks alot IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 01-26- 02:01 PM ICQ's strength is in instant messaging Its chatting leaves much to be desired imo. You can get scripts to tell you when friends are online if you like, but thats not really its purpose IMO you can one of many clients at http://www.mirc.co.uk IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-26- 02:14 PM Spanky here.. yeah the more me and Falck talk about it this seems like a good thing i always wanted a chat room for icq could be great for OPPers ya don't have permanent record of the idea but its just so much faster IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 01-26- 08:28 PM To be honest I don't think I'd be likely to keep both ICQ and IRC running. I use ICQ all the time. TS IP: Logged
Apeboy Pilot	posted 01-26- 08:32 PM How bout a chat page here on the fs site? Seems to be alot of traffic on the forum at times. Posts coming in one after the other. Would be pretty convenient to surf over to a chat page to see if anyone else is around. Cya up there, Apeboy [This message has been edited by Apeboy (edited 01-26-2000).] IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 01-26- 08:33 PM Understood tailslide But IRC isnt an instant messaging protocol its a chat protocol. IP: Logged
roadtoad Pilot	posted 01-27- 01:44 AM When I'm available on ICQ all my other contacts can see it as well and often interrupt. I prefer Kali for av-chat - bonus being its simple from there to find a fast server and fly whatever. IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 01-27- 02:44 AM Roadtoad if you don't want to talk to anyone just mark yourself as unavailable or occupied. You won't even get beeped when messages come in. If someone is particularly annoying right click on them and select alert accept modes then invisible to user. They won't even be able to tell you are online. TS IP: Logged
Michael Harrison General	posted 01-27- 06:21 AM One drawback to both ICQ and IRC is that there's no history generated. On the board, the messages are saved and new people can search for the information they need (although many don't ) With either ICQ or IRC you [i]can[/] save a chat log, but I would expect that 99% of the time people would forget to do so and the conversation would be lost.

Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 01-27- 06:52 AM Spanky here... I hear what your saying MH but a team just can't work by passing messages back and forth on a message board or through the mailing list. If i was in a team i would refuse to work through that. ITs too slow. Roger wilco would be the best way with ICQ and IRC coming in second choices. IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 01-27- 08:44 AM Thats all I really want is a place where we can chat real time to collaborate. IP: Logged
Jaguar Pilot	posted 01-27- 04:59 PM Ok, for TEAM projects I have found the BEST thing to use is roger wilco. Me and razor used it on the Huey and basically cut the development time in half! It's like having the person sitting right next to you, halping you through OP. It's great. I would be up fo a chat room here. Not for projects though, just to chat. ------------------ Cheers!
