Not only is this a great way to get quick help on a problem you may be having, but it will also allow all the members to get to know each other better. There are a few ways to reach the chat channel which I will discuss below. If you use a desktop IRC client you can use the following information to reach our channel: IRC Server: irc.wyldryde.org IRC Port: 6667 IRC Channel: #BleepingComputer If you use MIRC (which is an excellent Windows IRC client), you can click on the below link to automatically connect to our channel: irc://irc.wyldryde.org/bleepingcomputer We also have available a Java web program that will allow you to connect to the channel. This program can be found at the below link: Bleeping Computer IRC Chat Information Included in the above link are some excellent links on learning about IRC and how to use it. Looking forward to seeing you there! -------------------- |

Another board that has had some success with this has set two evenings a week as regular meeting times. Maybe you could pole everyone for suggested times? |

Its the same, but a lot of people do not know about it. The only reason why people are not there is because people come, see noone there, and then leave. It costs nothing to stay in the room and eventually people will start filling up there.

 Bluie. I am very sorry to see you were ignored in the chat. Sometimes people get busy. It might take a bit for someone to reply. If you wanted to talk to someone specific just type someone's name in the list and it will ding them and get their attention. I am sure no one meant any offense. I wish I had been there.
