not sure if everyone knows and i missed the memo haha but im curious as to why the chat is down again. im guessing its the same problem as last time. Manny, any news? if theres already another thread like this i appologize. i know the old one is locked so thats why i didnt post there.

thanks all

As far as i know mate, it seems the chat was taking up too much bandwidth and Coomer is concentrating more on his bike sites......

soooooooooooo........ tbh i wouldn't hold my breath on it being back up soon

If anyone sees this and wants to try, you can try this
Chat!

Works for me.

Works great! Thanks for this Griff!!

Works for me fine

Griffy awesome chat!! I might even like it better than the original...if only Coomer could put a link to this so it wouldn't waste all his bandwidth.

Griff, you deserve that sexy beast status. Nicely done.

I like it great work

Wow that's awesome guys, thanks! Well it's there for you to use if you want, as long as it works and Dreamhost doesn't charge me unexpectedly (which I don't anticipate), it'll remain! I'm happy to help however I can. I'm just amazed it works! That's so cool!

you're so cool for thinking about doing it

works great for me! Thanks Griff!

Temporary sticky? At least until 6gc Chat gets back up. I'm digging Griff's chat though.

So coomer gets on to sabotage the chat... but won't take 2 minutes to change my damn screen name? Lol

Didn't work for me, but then again, not a lot does.

I hate the chat. HATE it. It's not Mac friendly and I think it's buggy and cumbersome, not to mention that it's not really private.

Will you guys try this one? If it works well I'm going to place a redirect on the original link and use this one. Sorry if you have to register first - that's part of the plan though, so that way the chat won't be so vulnerable to weird outside people who are completely unrelated. Plus, its structure is much more similar to the way the chat on here is/was set up. Except I *hope* it doesn't suck up the server or anything. (I don't think it will?)

I set up the forum just as a gateway to the chat, since the chat program is contingent on an sql database and phpbb3. There's even a category started in the forum though if you guys want to actually use it.

Call me stupid, but I'm not seeing a chat feature, just the forum.

The first chat was cool until ppl started logging in as Manny and Jim and who ever else to be funny...you can never really tell who is in the chat.

New one works fine for me.

Im with shannon,i signed in as jim,but everyone knew it was me haha...that chat is WAY to impresonal,u can have more than one open at one time talking...not that id ever do that...
