TFP Chat
 

Ok folks..

since we've had some issues with the video chat, we've reimplemented the TFP chatroom link that is in IRC. You can still use your IRC client to get into it, or you can just click the link on the navbar at the top.

It's time to revive the chat room so go ahead and jump in.. there's only a few trout being thrown around. :)

yes... please join us.

It has been a fun friday night so far!

(zombie voice) joiiinnnnn uusssssss

I'm in there now, yo. C'mon, you know you want to.

just a quick note.. if you enter the room and nobody is talking, we aren't ignoring you. Alot of times people are idle and not paying attention to the screen. So if you go in, just stay for a spell and it shouldn't take long before a convo is started.

Join me for lunch March 12, 2009 12PM - 4PM EST.

Log on from your desk, office, coffee shop... where ever!

adjusted the time to make sure that I can capture all the continental US time zones. Europe folks, I'll have to do a breakfast invitation or brunch.

Okay new date for the Lunch chat invitation. Get your lunch and jump on #tfp...

Join me for lunch March 25, 2009 12PM - 4PM EST (GMT -5).

Soooo...I'm in there now, and it's showing 14 people... but no chatting going on. Is it just really quiet, or am I not connecting properly? Grrrr.

Edit-- never mind. Just read gucci's post. Also noticed that today is NOT the 25th, so not the "official" lunch chat. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

There are several of us hanging out in the lunch chat RIGHT NOW. Come on by, the chatting's fine!

yes :) come by!

guccilvr is hosting a chat today and tomorrow!!!! thanks gucci!!!!

Y'know... every time I go into chat, I see the same names, and they're never listed as "online" on the main page. Names stuck, perhaps?

I can't seem to log into chat. Just keeps loading...

Might be your firewall settings.

I haven't been able to log in since I got my "new" laptop two years ago. Not sure what settings I have messed up.

Do you use IRC? You can access it there. Give me a few minutes, let me see if I can't hunt up another way for you to get in...

Nah, I haven't dl'd irc on this computer. Was hoping I could just use Java.

One of our admins, Cyn, passed this on:

I was able to connect via mibbit.com
Mibbit.com - Easy and fast Webchat

irc.shadowfire.org look up SHADOWFIRE (webirc) in the drop down
use your nickname
channel: #tfp

Edit: I just logged on this way. It works just fine.

Yeah I thought about Mibbit. Haven't tried it just yet. Maybe I'll give it a go tomorrow. I'm attempting to wind down for the evening.
Er... morning. :o

What time zone are you in, anyway?
It's nearly three here - I should get to bed soon.

Aaaah! I see you in there, GG, but it's saying I can't send? This is frustrating.

EST.
I'm in GA.

Hm. That's odd. I wish I were better at this trouble-shooting thing.

Yummy Georgia peaches.. mmmm.
I'm in the eastern time zone too.
Heading to bed. Great to have you on the board - See you around!

Thanks!

Have a great night :).

You don't have to be on TFP to be in the chat room. They're mutually exclusive, so you can be in one and not the other or both at the same time.

The topic in chat seems to have been the same since April.

does anyone still use this? all I have seen since I came back is 6 idle

Pssst...there are a few of us in there now. Just sayin'.

48 members online, and only 2 in the chatroom? C'mon, people.

Fine! But I don't like sitting in there talking to myself.

...

It's like when I ride the metro.

Huh. Did anyone else just get kicked out of the chatroom? It's not letting me back in. I am not happy with this. :/

It sounds like it might be the Mibbit web client... can you get your hands on a stand alone IRC client? Check the TFP Chat Guide thread

thank you for sharing.Have a Good Day!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what's awesome? Since the chat has been doing so well, it's like the stick that seemed to be up this place's butt has gotten a little smaller. That's a good thing.

sometimes that's just called "getting to know you". Once you get to know people, they lose that "stick" or it gets just a little bit smaller.

because there's plenty of stick...or at least the perception of stick.

You're right of course, Cyn, but the chat has been a nice stick lube.

Can I try this stick everyone keeps talking about?!

you mean like atm?

What do money machines have to do with lubed up sticks and my ass?!

ass to mouth.

Ooooooh...

You never go ass to mouth.

Yeah, I totally count on this when I take my smoothspot out on a date with a new girl.

Fugly, my stick is still large and in charge. If that makes you feel any better.

I, for one, will be sleeping sounder tonight, knowing that Jazz' stick watches over us all.

fugly... Jazz like to show his stick off a bit too much. It's one of the reasons why video can be so creepy.

Pfft, he's married. All his stick are belong to wife.

That's what he tells you.

I think Cromp has a bit of Stick Envy. Guess the phantom limb syndrome wore off.

Where are the women folk, dammit? It smells like feet and cigars in chat.

Chat room has changed to Tinychat (link already fixed above).

wtf? right now there are 228 people on tfp chat, and I have never seen or heard about any of them until now. From the way the conversation is going, something or someone is directing people trying to access other tinychat rooms to tfp's.

not sure what is going on but there seems to be a problem with tinychat itself..

It happens... It's not a private room.


Just have to wait till the powers that be make us a new one.

no it's a problem with tinychat, it's dumping everyone into a single room, even when a new one is created.

Oh. Interesting. We posted at the same time... Didn't see your first one.

Chat has returned to its regularly schedule programming.

TC killed our room. I got a new one at tfproject - Tinychat.

Let's see if this works better.

You never know who'll turn up :)

Does anyone use the chat any more? The last couple of times (today included) I checked it out no one was there.

not really. most are in the TFP Video Chat room. We've been making changes here and there, but the TFP chat room is still there for those that don't have access to the video one.

at the top of the forum you should see an invitation for our private video chat room. If you don't, then like you said in another post, you need to post more.

I think I'm seeing the invite you're speaking of. However it just takes me off to the tiny chat site. Am I missing something?

if you aren't going into the room and saying hello, then yes, you are missing something.

tiny chat is the tfp chat room. you just need to sign on. But it looks like I'm the only person in there at the moment

It should prompt you for a password, which you can get from the notice at the top of this page. After you enter that, you should be in the chat room on tinychat.

must be acting up again because I'm in the only person in there at the moment and I don't see you.

rahl and cyn, hit refresh. Tinychat sometimes creates ghost rooms and will redirect you into an empty room. There are a few of us in another room.

reloaded and found someone else.... so it's acting up again.

sure the house is full but i can't find the living room ... :D

yeah, tinychat can be frustrating sometimes. It's the price we pay for free videochat.

Hmm... I must be doing it wrong. When I go to the page, sign in with the password, change my nick it just shows me (one person) being involved in the chat.


edit: Ya... so uh it was just that no one was in there.... *shrugs* I just remember when it first got started that thing was jumping. Good times for sure.

nope, i'm still all by my lonesome

It took a while for me to get into the room with other people in it. Try closing the browser and then trying to get into Tinychat.

I refreshed again but only see smart in there now

The good news for you guys is it doesn't seem like you're doing anything wrong, and this isn't something that tinychat does too often. If it makes you feel any better, I'm all alone in a room too.

I found everyone......


we need to have a donation drive to get our own sofware.... :)

That's on the to do list. Keep your eyes open for that official announcement.

I was just in a room alone with Ono.... :)

lol we can all be alone in a room together.


I'm gonna reload my browser and try again...

:) good luck.. i've got to go to bed tho... enjoy the chatroom.

grr...i give up

Yeah I'll have to toss a little bit of cash towards that. Seems like this tiny chat thing isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I never did run into you. I saw ono and snowy... but that's it...all the other times I ended up in a room by myself.

rahl and I ended up in a room together, but that's it. How frustrating.

*gasp* I found one with three people in it (including myself)! :p

keep old windows of you logged in open...it makes it faster to find the right room. Only took me 4 tries.

Oh man... I just had like 8 windows open, 3 of which I came across myself logged into it already... too awesome. If you had multiple personalities you could chat with yourself and it could actually work!

I've opened 15 tabs of the tinychat room, resulting in 10 different rooms. I am the only person in all of these rooms except one, where onodrim is also located.

That was me... I must have opened 20+ windows and only ever came across myself or one other person. I finally found the room where most of the folks are hanging out.

Alright, I've opened 30 tabs and gotten 12 different rooms. I ran into dippin while doing it and he opened a bunch of tabs and ended up in a few of my rooms as well. Still haven't found a room with more than one other person in it.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

OK, I've opened 54 tinychat tabs across 3 different browsers and I've stopped trying to figure out exactly how many different rooms that has resulted in. Needless to say, none of them have been the main one. I've come across settie, onodrim, dippin, robot_parade, Ice | Burn, and im2smrt4u, but never more than one at a time. I'm giving up for a bit to go to the store. Maybe tinychat will have fixed itself by the time I return.

Pssst...there's some people in chat right now. It's kinda quiet, though. Come hang out & stuff! :)

edit: got it!

I tried to chat today, it wont allow me...

Don't forget to type in the chat password. You can get it from the video chat banner at the top of this page. Feel free to PM me with any questions if that doesn't work.

always trying to pick up on the new chicks...

It often doesn't work on the first click for me, but if I refresh the page, I'm in. And remember that it's password protected - no surprise if you read the banner.

Lol it's the TimeCube movie :P

Chat works fine, cheers!
