Aaron Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I have been discussing putting up a PKI Unlimited.com chat room on PKIU with the staff, but I want to know what you guys and gals think. If we were to have scheduled chat events on the site, would you participate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Scheduled chats, yes. An open chat, no. It seems that open chats really take away from the traffic of a message board. Just my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars1825 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I agree that there should be only scheduled chats and not an open chat. Maybe you could get someone from pki, like Jeff Siebert, to join a scheduled chat and we could talk to him. I would be up for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 SOUNDS GREAT! I would agree with the sch. chat... open chat isn't as fun. A special guest speaker would be cool too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam12 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I would be sure to be there! I think that would be a lot of fun! -adam12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 As long as its better than the one we tried. And I agree with AZ not open, but scheduled. An open chat really would not be worth it. PKIUnlimited just broke 100 registared members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 yeah a scheduled chat room would be good. I would say make sure you do at least a dry run with it, just getting everyone on the site to show up and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam12 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I wonder how many of the members have multiple identities/user names. Since there is no way to keep track of that. -adam12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I wouldn't see any reason to have multiple names... Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Well, I agree with the scheduled chats, but with some of the boards/chat rooms that I have seen, the chat room just doesnt work out very well if its open. Noones ever in it to chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dole Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 A good reason to have multiple names is when you think you're about to get banned and you want to protect yourself... but personally, i wouldnt have any experience in that department...

fyrfyter Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I think if chats were scheduled and the room wasn't left open all the time, then things would be different. PKIU members would only be in there when events were taking place and chatting with other members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I don't think we would see Jeff Siebert come in or anything, but just a good time to discuss the park with board members. I, especially, who has been away from the boards for a while would love to see a chat, maybe a chat every Wednesday or something. I think that would be a great idea Aaron.

fyrfyter Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I am in agreement with that. at least a weekly chat with just members to keep up with what all is going on. It would be nice to be able to get some guests in on chats though, and have some type of controlled Q & A session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 If or When there is a chat room.... when could it appear. It would take a long time to get it, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 30, 2003 Author Share Posted January 30, 2003 We're looking at maybe within a few weeks. Since I'm sure not all of you have mIRC, I'm looking for a good IRC Java chat applet for everyone who just wants to chat through their Internet browser. Aaron Spriggs (AZ Kinda Guy) and I tested an applet out the other day, and we think that's what we'll use. The only problem is that I'm going to have to dish out $50 for it, but it's worth it.

mars1825 Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 A weekly chat with different topics to talk sbout would be good. I've got a microphone, but it doesn't matter if you can just type instead of talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Most likely it will not be a weekly thing. Mabey a monthly thing but not weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 So the first chat is the first.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
