We Need a Simple Chat Room (For easier communication)

Postby Kaream » Mon Nov 23, 2009 5:16 am

We need a faster, more efficient Chat Room. I seen lot of editors don't like the irc chat room mainly becuase the communication is a dull and boring. Chat rooms attracts people to visit the org site more often.
Im doing some research on about it atm on how to help about the chatrooms so yeah lmao.

I don't like the IRC myself but it IS as fast and easy as it can get. You don't even need a program, you can log on it with a normal firefox page - or you can use the simple firefox plug-in that's much better, either way all you have to do is to enter a nickname and you're logged in in seconds.

The chat room being boring is more about the conversation than the communication really, but that might just be me logging on at the wrong times/periods, I never gave it too much of a chance..

boring? I laugh at you.

When people are actually active its rather lively and er... not exactly family friendly :amv:

People are active when people feel like talking. (duh)

While I'm tempted to say "wait, who are you again?", I just gotta ask - what tells you that a "faster" chatroom would be better? I mean, while you might not share their perspective - #amv on IRC typically has 40-60 members logged in at any given time. Many of them have been on the IRC for years. If it were that boring, I don't think you'd have that consistent a membership. On that account, the IRC chat on the .org has been extremely successful. Building a steady, working chatroom is not an easy task. #amv, meanwhile, is almost constantly active and has a variety of discussion on it, ranging from utter imbecility to interesting and technical debate.

I'm frankly not sure what you mean by "boring", but if it doesn't suit your interests, I'm not sure what will.

And just as frankly, I have not seen you on #amv at all. Something tells me you have not actually really tried it - now, if you did try and at some point it was quiet or not particularly excited to have you there, well, that's something that happens too. I don't think it's fair to jump into a conversation and expect everyone to pay attention to you. Try to watch the discussion, jump in, and try to steer it by participating. I don't think #amv has ever been unresponsive to this. Be aware that you're in a community and are not entitled to being the center of attention by default. On the other hand if you offer up interesting input into discussion, I think that's where you can make it less boring for yourself. Don't expect a chatroom to entertain you without participating. That's not what chatrooms (or any other discussions) are for.

Pretty much agree with Otohiko.

Guess the reason I haven't given #amv much of a chance is that I really prefer one-on-one conversations, or, if anything, a small chat room of up to 5-6 persons. And even though you probably don't get much more than this amount of people talking at the same time in an IRC chatroom.. well I don't know, call me strange. ;_; but who would ever prefer blabbler harassing you in front of 40 other people over blabbler harassing you in private?

Stirspeare's epic quotes will make me succumb and log in at some point, though. I can see it coming.

You can still have 1:1 conversations (double-click a nick in the channel in mIRC.) Even without that though, you can carry on an independent conversation with 40 people watching...it's just that there's 40 people watching.

I think I've seen as many as 3 separate conversations occurring in #amv at one point in time

I remember you joining the channel. I commented that I preferred regular kaream. And you left soon afterwards. That being said, Stirspeare will always keep you company. I've yet to be bored by him.

Stirspeare can also be used to spark conversation.

[18:44:41] <Hacchinya> Stirspeare: Can you be used to spark conversation in #AMV
[18:44:43] <Stirspeare> Hacchinya: Amv as a real conversation in a more clever hack.

Im sorry if you feel that i offended the amv community by just thinking about myself. But i wasn't . I was just saying there are members who don't come on this site as much because they feel the site is boring. Im not saying it's boring, i really like this site. But im just saying rather than depending on msn/aim it would be more better if people preferred the chatrooms to, all i was trying to see if there was way to juice up the chatroms.

Well, we could encourage misspellings and discourage clearly structured sentences. That might juice things up a bit.
