Sorry josh you couldnt make it. I think it is 6pm your time. Hope to see you next week..

Was great to chat to some of yous finally. We have had 10 people so it was pretty good for our first cyber gathering.

Lets see how many we get together next week. Or should we make this chat gathering forthnightly? Also I noticed the chat system we currently have is slow and crap so I will change it soon to a Java chat.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is one of the original protocols for online chatting. mIRC is one of the clients for it. It's a very efficient program doesn't use many system resources.
Chris if you want to do it you'll have to register the channel because I already own a channel it only allows you to own one at a time.

I dont think to many people will like mirc. Plus for people who dont know what it is it will be a pain in the ass to /join /server and the other commands. IRC times are over since 5 years. Fucking bots, flooders and little wanna be hackers..

I will look for some good Java chat clients which I can program into phpbb.

Most Java chat clients are just IRC clients anyway made for people who can't use mIRC. So we could set up an IRC channel on Austnet and people who want to use mIRC can use that, or if people want to just use the Java client they can use that instead.

Austnet doesn't seem to have problems with bots and hackers.

Ok finally got of my arse and finished the new chat.

I played around with many chat applets such as Java IRC based once and others. Now the IRC Java based once are totally crap and slow so I found a great little one which is cgi/perl has cute little futures and is very simple to use. Also I am hosting the chat on one of mine Australian servers so it is alot faster.

Make sure you register (which is quick and doesnt require email etc) so your name cant be taken by somebody else.

You can log into the chat by going to www.holdenpiazza.com and type in your username and pwd. or click on the chat links both displayed in the main forum left menu or in holdenpiazza.com

Please make sure your popups are enabled and frames are allowed!!! Or it will not work.

Test it out and let me know if you like it or not?

Heres a direct link to it -> http://www.aussierc1.com/apc/chat/sfechatmain.html

For people who have troubles using it here is a little Help FAQ Commands threat i made -> http://holdenpiazza.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=328

Thanks chris
