Big Chat Thread

Until we get a chatroom, we can always do meeting on Chat! We used to hold huge AIM chats back in the day... no reason we can't do that (or MSN) now!

Let's see who uses what first. Though if anyone's hangin' around tonight, they can always contact me. :D

Both of the above. ^_^ Going to be on almost all the time all summer, too.

I have MSn but I don't ever use it. I have Yahoo. I can try to get my husband to set up trillian but it may not work for me.

Bree · May 24, 2006, 04:49:32 PM

Also, if there's something else that you use to chat, or you need help/want to set up AIM/MSN... let us know!

Eimi · May 25, 2006, 01:31:18 AM

Yeah, I think I might have my old account that I set up for Dana back in the day. Someone could use that (if she and I can remember the address and password....)

Bree · May 25, 2006, 11:49:33 AM

Well, it's pretty easy to set up new accounts, Eimi. :D 5 minutes or less usually, so we can get people their own if they want. ;)

In other news, my host said they'd be happy to let me install a chatroom... if I started paying them $30 more a month. While I love all of you a lot, I'm afraid we're going to have to skip that. :D

Eimi · May 25, 2006, 05:38:27 PM

Well, since neither Dana or I use it anymore someone could HAVE that account since its just sitting there unloved, is what I was saying. But that all depends on if we can remember the address and password...

i think AIM is the best for big Chats.

I use MSN more to talk, but for big Chats, AIM is good other than the character limit. BLEH I hate that.

the other thing is, both MSN and AIM have that software that you can use without actually downloading any software!

thats kinda cool!

Trillian also works with AIM too

Oh and I think MSN too right??

Bree · May 25, 2006, 07:40:18 PM

Trillian works with both, Clancey!

Avery · May 25, 2006, 08:05:05 PM

If you have AIM or MSN or Yahoo accounts but don't want to install the software, try Meebo! Meebo (http://www32.meebo.com/) is useful and fun!

Oh, and for anyone who's on a Mac- if there's anyone but me!- Adium (http://www.adiumx.com) is an excellent choice for multiple-service instant messanging!

...I sound like an ad.

Macs.... I've HEARD of such things... *wanders off to ponder the archaelogical record...* :bashpc:

Dana · June 01, 2006, 08:42:34 PM

lol--yeah, if any of you have had bad experiences with macs (like me), then check this video out ---> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... +macs+suck It's hilarious :D No offense, Avril!

And Eimi, I still have the random account and password :D

Bree · June 01, 2006, 08:53:05 PM

Hahahaha! I haven't seen that "Why Macs Suck" thing in forever!

I will never forget the first time I tried to retrieve a zip disk from a Mac. Who decided that the INTUITIVE way to eject a disk is to drag the icon of that drive into the trash bin?!?

I understand that they're trying to keep people who aren't good with computers from accidently doing... anything... but REALLY. *cries*

Of course, if Gimp could compare to Photoshop, I wouldn't use Windows ever again, so it's not like I'm on Bill Gates' side. :D

PastMember · June 06, 2006, 12:19:25 PM

I have AIM!
I would love to chat with ya'll! It would be soooooo cool!

Cali · October 22, 2006, 07:12:50 PM
