we need to change the chat date and time!! need opinions!

88COBRA · 01-11-2001, 12:03 PM

Myself and a few other members were chatting last night. The MOST we had at one time was 4!

I really enjoyed chatting with the few that were there and I think it would be even better if we could just get more people.

So, why doesn't everyone come and chat? Is it because of the day and time? Maybe we should ask Dan if he could change it.

I work second shift so I can't make it to the chats. I have suggested before to have it on the weekends which is when the internet is the busiest. I think the turnout would be a lot better on the weekend because I hang in various mIRC channels and they are always busier on the weekends. No one seems to agree.

Hi,
Doh, I missed chatting session again. Damn!

Anywho, why don't some of you come to IRC and go into #mustang and/or #musclecars on EFnet (if you don't understand IRC, go to www.mirc.com ).

When I start my computer up, I head directly to #mustang and #musclecars; there's always someone there you can chat with; whether it's general cars or pure mustang talk.

See you all there. BTW, my nick is Gonad on IRC.

Bye!

the chat room is open all the time, we just have to all agree as to what time would be best to get a good turnout. i go there on wed nigth and while i don't talk much it is still nice to be able to chat and learn what other people are doing with there cars. i have found that if someone goes into a chat room and there is someone there the usualy stay, here's what i do, i go there and leave my name there and have my irc set to flash if anyone says anything so i can be surfing the message board here and also know when someone is in chat room. any night is good for me!

Well, the Wednesday night deal was something I just pulled outta my rear to set a day and time. I did that because, as AxemanZZ said, no one seems to agree. Unfortunately, that has turned out to be a bad time for me and I don't even make it most of the time. However, yes, our dedicated IRCd server we use as the back end to our chat applet is always running. Therefore, we can set the chat for any day and time. We can even have more then one set day and time for a scheduled chat too.

The best days for me are Tuesday and Thursday during the week, or Saturday in the late afternoon. But, not late at night.

Sunday nights are usually the best for me (7pm and after)...I'm almost always home then. I suppose Saturday afternoon would be ok, but that's prime time for doing stuff usually. It's almost better just to hop onto the server and idle than it is to not be on there and not idle. I find that if I stay online long enough, usually someone will drop in, and hopefully stay. If noone is there, they often just have a quick look and leave.

Once I get my home computer up and running, any evening after 6pm Pacific is good for me. Until then, I only have internet access at work.

I suspect many here might have the same problem - that is, only having the 'net at work or school.

When you guys arrive at a good time definitely post it as I would enjoy chatting with all of you but especially those here in northern CA.
