hardhat #1 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Hi, After talking a bit with NIAD and a few others, we thought we'd try to come in force into the AtariAge chat room this Sunday night at 9pm EST (8pm Central, 6pm Pacific). That was the traditional time for the live chat on CompuServe back in the 80s and 90s. So maybe that is a good time to start with. Is that the best time? I'm not sure. So I think the plan is to try a couple of other times in the coming weeks and see if we can decide what works best for most people. So when Sunday evening happens, just click Chat on the bar across the top and we will have a ColecoVision party. I hope to see you there. Bring your problems, questions, things to show off and so on. Or just come to hang out -- see and be seen. Edited July 31, 2014 by hardhat 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NIAD #4 Posted July 31, 2014 Be there of be square! I also proposed that we try a better time for all our friends in Europe, but this first one will be at the time stated by hardhat. Hope to see a full house on Sunday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NIAD #10 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) 6pm PST has always been bad for me...for some strange reason my wife wants dinner around tht time and I do most of the cooking.YEAH! Treat yourself and more importantly you wife by ordering out some food or at the least, make dinner an hour earlier. ED: you could also set the clocks in the house back an hour... it's a trick that I use on my wife to get her moving when we got somewhere to go.

hardhat #11 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) 6pm PST has always been bad for me...for some strange reason my wife wants dinner around tht time and I do most of the cooking. No worries. We will be there at least 6:00-8:00pm PST most likely, so just join us as soon as you're free. Obviously if you're in Europe it is the middle of the night. So we will also try one that is more convenient for European time zones too, and that should miss your supper time when it comes up.

jblenkle #12 Posted August 1, 2014 I would definitely go for the pizza...but it would just give her another excuse to urge me to get rid of all my video game stuff. Well then skip the cooking and order a pizza Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NIAD #13 Posted August 2, 2014 Just a quick "bump" to keep this at the top of the thread list so that no one misses it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NIAD #14 Posted August 4, 2014 Less than an hour to go BUMP, hope to see a big turnout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardhat #15 Posted August 4, 2014 It's 9pm! So let's all go into the chat room. Just make sure you're signed in, and click on "Chat" at the top of the page. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixelboy #16 Posted August 4, 2014 Oops! It seems the AA chatroom is limited to 17 users. I can't join at the moment! I'll keep trying... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+digress #17 Posted August 4, 2014 its up 2 20 users maybe 20 is a limit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+5-11under #18 Posted August 4, 2014 Try now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixelboy #19 Posted August 4, 2014 Try now! I keep getting this error message: The IP.Chat room limit has been reached. You will not be able to join the chat room until some users leave. EDIT: The funny thing is that I'm seeing a count of 19 users on the chat tab (in the red square) but I still cannot join. It was at 17 earlier and I couldn't join at that time either.

hardhat #20 Posted August 4, 2014 Hmm...overly successful. I'd estimate at least 5 more people than the chat server could handle. Well, maybe we'll try IRC next week then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardhat #21 Posted August 10, 2014 Okay, so just a reminder that we're going to try 9pm-11pm EST (that's starting at 8pm Central, or 6pm Pacific) tonight again, and because the room wasn't big enough we will be trying http://www.adamcon.org/chat/ Just choose a user name, and away you go. If you use IRC already, you can access it directly at irc.freenode.net in channel #retroemu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retroillucid #22 Posted August 10, 2014 I will be there! Hopefully, it will work with Ipad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardhat #23 Posted August 11, 2014 Just download your favourite iPad IRC client, and you can go there no problem. Search in the Apple App Store for IRC. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
