Has CD ever given any thought to establishing a (probably IRC driven) ChiefDelphi chatroom?

Re: Chat

There is an IRC chat room powered by tigerbolt. Its link is listed on the portal.
http://www.rit.edu/~us1stwww/chat.html

CD used to have a chatroom before the upgrade of software; however, it was rarely used. Thus it probably wasn't practical for it to be implemented again.

Re: Chat

An informal AIM chat is run many nights as well, though I'm not sure how that will work during the buildseason.

How about this, if people think it is beneficial to host AIM chats to discuss the game and other FIRST issues, we can start a thread in General, and the person who want to host the chat of the day can post in there asking people to IM him/her to join the chatroom.

We can make the thread sticky, and whoever post there before anyone else during the day (say, starting at noon) can host the chat. The chat will last until noon of next day, then people can post again after noon. You can also organize different chat room with different topics and so on.

Comments/suggestions?

Yes, a very informal chat is held almost every night (between 8PM-1AM), it is basically a group of firsters that talk about random issues or about FIRST, IM me @ Radar777777 for more infromation.

Though beyond that, I think that someone could post a chat name that could be used all of the time and people could invite themselves.

Hmmm...

I like it, and I might join in on some of those AIM chats (bosoxboy5256), but it would be easy if we could have a CD for chat--somewhere standard, where we all knew it would be regularly. I'm sure Brandon could do it--I don't know if the server could handle it. It would be awesome if this could be figured out.

FIRST chats are a great way to meet new FIRSTers, share ideas, and to have fun. Just IM one of us and we will get you in or invite yourself to "FIRST build season" on AIM.

Edit: WOW... there were alot of people in the chat tonight. I hope this keeps up and improves!

Once again, SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST. If you have a question(especially if its about Chiefdelphi.com or past games/robots etc), most likely its already asked, you just have to search to find an answer. ChiefDelphi has had its own chat in the past, if you search around a little bit you will find a lot more information.

Re: Chat

Just to let you know, our team also has a IRC chat server setup with an online client available.

goto www.emeryrobotics.com/chat/ to chat.

Although CD is the best, if someone neeeds something urgent chat could be useful

Re: Chat

We used to have one; it's gone now due to lack of use and inability to monitor/moderate it properly. Since then, we've been directing people over to Tigerbolt. They have a web-based client, as well as the ability to log on via mIRC or any other IRC client.

Ken, I don't think we need another sticky thread. If anything, it should go in chit-chat. At any rate, Tigerbolt works just fine.

While I think that a CD IRC thread would be the best, I think this would be a good substitute.

To those who posted about alternative chats--

My webserver, too, has chat capabilities. But I do not pretend that www.theforceteam.com has the same following as CD, nor do I think that any other team site does.

Brandon--perhaps you could link to the Tigerbolt chat from the top of the forum, so it was obvious that it was the "CD sanctioned" chat? That would serve much the same purpose.
