Re: Community Chat: Let's See How This Works Edition

Did you ever think of enabling the chat box?

He actually did that a couple of nights ago, but it soon became apparent that if there were 3 or more people in it at any given time it would soon become impossible to tell who was talking to who given the way it operates, so he turned it back off.

That and it actually slowed down the surfing of the forum dramatically.... and i have a pretty powerful computer.

It also relegated you to having it either at the top of the forum (which was ugly looking)or at the bottom (which made one always have to scroll down).

I think i better hit the sack here pretty quick. Us unemployed people have busy days ahead.

You know what? I think I have more free time now I have a job than I had when unemployed. Its crazy, it must defy some laws of space-time or something.

that is weird... *cues twilight zone music* ...

Well I'm back now. No longer housesitting and of course, more time online. Sorry to have been an absentee moderator but I have no planned absences for the rest of the year now.

So I'm guessing that the only real rule in here is that topics in the other threads are out of bounds?

Nice to see you back. The other two guys must be house sitting, too.

No real rule but personally, i'd prefer to keep contentious issues out. We do enough gnashing of the teeth in other sections. But then again.... whatever goes, goes i guess.

One extreme to the other.

Yes... that's how it should be (please excuse my remarks on the previous page... thought it was just tex and i here)... chat's just a place to chill and engage in meaningless discourse of no real consequence...

i personally think we should make it an informal rule that chat be the one place we can come together and not argue or debate but just hang out as a group and talk about nothing of any real consequence... but hey, just my suggestion...

[TexasBlue]

It's of my opinion that it can (and should) help show to all of us that we can disagree with each other in other topics but not bad, dumb, or ignorant people at the same time.

[dblboggie]

Where the hell is everyone? The entire board is quieter than a graveyard? It's a weekend for crying out loud...

[TexasBlue]

They're busy doing...... uh.... i dunno.

[dblboggie]

yes... apparently these people have actual lives or something...

[The_Amber_Spyglass]

[dblboggie]

Hooray! Life returns to the forum! Hope you had a great weekend!

[The_Amber_Spyglass]

Yes thanks! Back to work tomorrow

[BecMacFeegle]

Yes it was a good weekend. Although - we did see 'Buried' at the cinema - which wasn't exactly a bundle of laughs. Other than that we did some shopping, went out for a meal (Mexican, nom nom nom) and generally hung out. Oh and watched some Arnie films. Not my idea.

And Matt, I'm your wiFe not your wiDe. Or are you making some comment about my weight, hmm?!
