Subject: live chat

For anyone who is interested, I am trying to get a chat channel going on the undernet... #wls_support. It would be a lot of fun to be able to jump on there and talk to someone live and not have to wait a few days for a response. You do need to have a chat program such as mirc, pirch, or microsoft chat to access the undernet, but mirc is shareware and can be downloaded at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/6000/ All of the downloading and installation instructions are right there, and it is really easy to use. What is nice about the undernet is that you can set up options that cannot be set in a java controlled chat such as the number of people that can use the channel, channel rules, moderation control, etc. And the owner of the site does not necessarily have to be there to use the channel. You can assign any number of people to be channel operators or moderators. The chat can be open to the general public and as long as people are using the channel, it can be open and running 24/7, because the undernet will place a bot in the channel to keep it open and keep the options saved. #wls_support currently has a bot in it and is open but no one seems to ever use the room. The bot will be removed after 1 month if the room doens't start getting used. If you are interested you can email me at cricke19@sgi.net If you need help accessing it, please let me know some days and times you would like to try it out. I am available most evenings and on weekends. I would be more than willing to help anyone with installing mirc or accessing the room, learning the irc commands or anything else involved.
