Project Avalon Chat Room
The Project Avalon chat channel can be accessed by clicking the link below http://projectavalon.2012info.ca/ This idea has been tossed around before and with some support it would work very well for us. The point has been made that a chat room can harm the forum, this is the farthest from the truth in my experience. Chat rooms and have been around since before the web and now are integrated into many forums to enhance the users experience. A chat room gives users the ability to converse in realtime about the topics posted here. Forums hold alot more information and are not limited to 2 or 3 line posts like on IRC and therefore are two completely different means of communication. Project Avalon is here to gather the "Ground Crew" and to provide a place for networking. What better way to do so than with realtime chat in addition to Forum information. Quote:
Here is what I can offer at my expense (time and money): The Basics:
The technical Side:
What is needed now are a few people to help staff the place. Since the room/channel is open to all and not only Members here we would need some members of PA to act as Operators/Moderators to keep the place active. Anyone want to help build this up? message me, respond here or join the chat channel. Last edited by GaiaLove; 10-26-2009 at 08:29 PM. Reason: Added link |

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
Incidentally, GaiaLove is doing some very cool things to make it a nice place.
If you are using FireFox, (and if you aren't I recommend switching) you can add ChatZilla to it by simply going here. Once you have done this, and FireFox restarts, you can open up ChatZilla to the Avalon room there by just clicking here. Fred (yes, I am back.)

Welcome back to the forum Fred!

I also feel that a backup meeting place is a must in the event the forum goes down for any length of time. I strongly recommend all members bookmark the chat channels web page just in case. And to add to that point check out this post: Project Avalon's IP address

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
In response to several members who did not feel comfortable clicking OK to allow the Chat application rights to run on their system, A new interface is now online and replaces the java one.
There are quite a few people joining but the lack of moderators and active users is hindering growth. Anyone interested in helping out in this regard can contact me.

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
Those babelfish program translations can be quite humorous sometimes.
Some languages put the verb at the end of a sentence so 'i am here' becomes 'i here am'. Or at least those progs used to not account for that, i haven't used one since 5 years ago or so. So maybe they've fixed that, but yes use them carefully. |

There is a logical technical reason but i will spare u that lol, suffice to say i had set a certain security feature too high and there was a sudden rush of people joining the network. so it killed off what it thought were attackers. The network has sustained two attacks earlier this month so i am trying to find a happy balance between security and accessibility S'all fixed now

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
Hi Bellsisland, I agree, its fun and has the additional value as a 2nd gathering point for members and nonmembers alike as well as a great way to get to know people. Forums are fantastic mediums for sharing of information and ideas and a chatroom is the perfect compliment to a community like this one.
The chatrooms popularity is growing by 10-20% weekly and now is getting about 75 people joining the channel daily. Which is why I put out a call to anyone with IRC experience that is interested in helping moderate the place. I have been doing it alone but do not have very much time each day to stay there and play host. Members can send me a message or post here, non members are also welcome to apply and can do so by joining the network and contacting Aragorn in any channel there. These are the positions needing to be filled
Peace

I am alone a lot too. My spouse is here and my doggies. I like being a hermit. My little galaxy.

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
Hello to all the newcomers and the reactivated users,
just a reminder that for live conversations the chatroom is open 24/7 for all members and non members alike. As posted above we are still looking for anyone who is interested in operator positions there.

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
During the past 24 hours many Avalonians who had bookmarked the
chatroom page met there while the forum was down. I encourage everyone to bookmark it in the event of a similar outage. |

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
Hey folks, new to the forum.. nice to see a nice busy forum of like minds.. anyway great idea about the chat room guys... adds another dimention to the avalon community in general...
Would be great to (when the channel is established enough) have open forum days with perhaps guest speakers, a q&a sesh so to speak, amongst a mirriad of other applications. ps sorry about the dire spelling addition: in addition and related to guest speakers, would be a great idea to use the chat room in conjuction with the radio show every thur, whereby folks can give real time feedback.

Re: Project Avalon Chat Room
I tried the chat, my computer loads the page, I can see a list of users to the right, the writing space is there and I can write in it. However; I cannot see any text, neither the ones I've just sent or any body elses?
Any idea what might be the problem? I use Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu). |
