So, the chat is intended to be a place for RF Generation Members to be able to chat, communicate, and have fun. It also currently has the nice feature of being integrated with the site, as in we have one registration for everything.  It also allows for those us unable to install Java but have Flash to join.

I really like that only registered members of THIS site can join the flash chat room. IRC is open to anyone, but we can possibly work around that. I just want to make sure that our solution is the best possible solution before it is absolutely set in stone.

The biggest advantage to IRC other than stability, is that we can make the channel private to members only and share files, have a topic header for discussion and all the myriad of benefits that a lot of us have enjoyed from using IRC for years. We could even open up a second channel to the public while keeping the first one private. Also we always keep two or more of the staff in the room as Ops to watch over it. IRC has a different code of conduct all to itself. it's always been a place to hang out sometimes not chatting for hours at a time, a nice way to sit idle.

I think there's room for both here. Hell we've had AIM and MSN chats before as well while we had the forum chat the same week. I think both will live fine side by side, MSN won't replace the weekly chat app and neither will this. Many of us have used IRC since the 90's, it's kind of comfortable to have both at our disposal.

Yup as Tan says irc chans can be made private, and if installing java is a problem for some, from what I can gather there are flash based irc clients as well.

edit: can the people who have voted no say why they voted that way?

The channel is now in secret mode, meaning it doesn't show up in the server lists anymore.  Wink

If you're stuck at work and can't use an irc program you could try
http://www.ospora.com/cgi-bin/irc/irc.cgi

Just remember to change the nickname and change the channel to #rfgeneration

There are people in chat now you know...

There's been a few people in all day, but the question is why hasn't there been more?

Join the chan, talk for a bit, then if you've got things to do, leave the window open and come back to it when you have a bit of time.

Let's try and get some use out of this chat channel, don't people like to chat or something?

I' m in. The flash chat is a bit of a resource hog, and it randomly cuts out.
