Hi everybody,
As some of you know, we had an incident in the old mirc chat room on
Tuesday night. It seems some clown named Stimpy has registered the room,
therefore taking away operator's privileges from the rest of us. He then
comes in with three or four other guys and acts obnoxious, uses foul
language, and interrupts the entire chat. So, I guess it's time we look
at an alternative room. If they come in and fool around, we can just go
to the other room and let them have their good time. Valerie has set up
a chat room in Yahoo Clubs. We've tried it out a few times and it seems
to work quite well. It also has a voice chat function, for those of us
who have mics and would like to speak to each other. Anyone can go into
the chat room at any time and use this function, but I think for our
normal chats it would be a good idea not to use voice at first. There
are a few chatters who don't have the set up to use voice. Another good
thing about Yahoo Club chat is the ignore option. If someone comes in
and starts acting obnoxious, just hit ignore and you won't see their
messages. Anyway, if you'd like to join the club and have access to the
chat room, e-mail me and I'll send you and invitation to join. When you
join, it may ask you to install a voice chat plug in. Just click yes to
the message and it will install in a matter of seconds. Here's the link
to the new room if you'd like to go take a look:

For tonight, I guess we'll stay with the old room. This will give
everyone a chance to check out the new room and do the membership thing.
So, the chat starts at 9PM EDT at
http://chat.gordonlightfoot.com
Erica also has come up with another option. She is trying to set up a
chat room through AOL/AIM. I'm still waiting to hear details on that.
Thanks,
Cathy
