The only problem I forsee is the time zone issue. This is SUCH an international crowd and I love you all dearly but I ain't wakin up at 4AM to chat... I don't think that many people are actually on when I'm on... but don't let that stop ya! Even emails and private messages take a few hours suggesting that people I chat with aren't on when I am.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I would personally LOVE a chat room. I don't have a lot of time regularly to post messages, but I think it would be really wonderful to be able to chat with people everyonce in a while. And get to know some of you folks better.

Well,
The message boards seem pretty chatty to me.
Still, I don't see any reason why not.
And there are many reasons to do it.
I think that there are enough spinners scattered around the globe to keep it going 24-7.
I probably won't be on it, but.....
I think it's a good idea

New Chat room for fire performers and twirlers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Everyone, Just a note Trintek went ahead and set up an irc server and web interface from His website https://www.tribesofthemoon.org so people can chat in realtime. He also added a HoP channel until I can finish up the chat rooms for the Talent Exchange.
You can hit it by clicking Tribes Chat. No you dont have to register to use it, and, if you have an irc client already, just point it at irc.tribesofthemoon.org port 6667.
QUOTE: "I havent set up any services yet, so, you're on your own there. When you first login (through the web interface) you'll be in the general channel, at the top of the window is a drop down box with the channels, click on #HoP and you'll be in the right channel. A java enabled browser is required (which = 90% of current browsers) and, after you are in, you can go ahead and close out the tribes site (its only used for the frontend).
Hope this helps anyone that wanted to do some realtime bs'ing.

UPDATE: Trintek has added services.The chat room can be reached at: CHAT ROOM
THANKS BUNCHES Trintek !!!!!

yo SpArKiE,
this highly suggests, and Goddess, please TAKE NOTE, the only way for a chat to happen is for NO ONE ELSE to start a separate one, and for us ALL to link our sites to one, Trin's or Goddess_of_Pyre's we can all vote or something. . . otherwise we'll NEVER have the critical mass for one here at HoP or in any satellite of this community.
who's for this, FOR REALZ?
i will link our soon to be growing-again SoCalFire (including original OrangeFire) community to whichever chat, Trin's is fine, Goddess, is yours really going to be better? it's not time yet for different flavors, we haven't even got ONE up really, and a former one posted in another thread is apparently quite sparse. next week if this is unresolved, i'll search for that thread, or someone with the time this week, please do, let's GET ALL THE CARDS ON THE TABLE, discuss, and CHOOSE as a community, shall we?

heh i am there when i can be, i only leave my nick in there cause i dont feel like shutting down my irc client
Sorry bout that, spent a good deal of last night talking with new members of one of our troupes. did contact flames with kerosene on my leather jeans, then set myself on fire while blowing just to see if either of the new people would put me out.. Amazingly enough, they did
Got home, watched mike spin some practice poi, then jeremy broke out his staff and did a few moves. Of course it probably would have been better to not have done the spinning in my house, but...
learned a new trick (yes, right after learning how to control the flame well) started doing switch offs. start the flame, bring it around without the torch, then the next person lights off of whats left of your blow. looks wicked as hell.
oh, back to the point, I am cool with either one. the irc server i set up is going to be a permanent addition, just because i use it for scripting tests, and use it as a general chat off my site. I will probably leave the channels as they are for now even if a new one is set up, just as an advertisement. ie: when any of the users join, they get:
-ChanServ- (#hop) Home of Poi Channel - Visit us on the web at https://www.homeofpoi.com
This way anyone that hasnt been here yet, may show up
k, i'm out again, will be in and out of the chat room all day, working on a few things.

Hey I am cool with using Trins...otherwise I wouldnt of posted it up every where =). Thanks again Trin. He basically just did what I was intending on doing and was in the process of doiung..whichever doesn't matter as long as there is one and everyone has the freedom to use it. However seeing how Trin started one..question is..are you ready to do some chatting?

Everyone who has a website if Trin is kewl with it start linking to the HOP chat room..at which time if Trin you cant personally run and org chat times and topic for other orgs, or troupes I can volunteer to start that for you. ( on a side note, Trin I can attempt to create a flash realtime chat room for the site if your interested)
Hey Mike you interested in hosting our first chat...you choose the topic.

yo, Goddess, absolutely. sure it's gonna take a while to get busy, so scheduling a chat or two is a great idea, so we're not all there alone when we bop in.
when's the first gonna be then, Goddess, you settin a time? & be sure to express it in GMT or something (don't think any of us really calculate in HoP time except NZ & Oz locals, huh) & maybe some major other zones. . . hey, post it once, we have a template for announcing times in future, like X hrs GM/ Y hrs NZ/ Z hrs /A hrs EST . . .once we know the offsets. any web timezone site will do it, or someone got a printed calendar with offsets. . .

I think it's a great idea, chat rooms which are inspired by something other than just chatting (like msn chat rooms) actually have people talking in them! Message boards are much fun but a little harder to get to know someone.

i am cool running this one, if you reg with nickserv, i will start adding some ops and such to the chan.. at the moment i opped sparkie, as she is there almost as much as i am
to nyc, firemike, goddess, raymundphule, and everyone else that came by when i was gone, i apologize.. right now i have bronchitis of doom ( a lesser known strain) and have been working on getting he printer farm set up here so i dont have to worry about users blasting my print jobs.. also have been working on the business cards, flyers, and brochures for re-al-i-t, heirophant, and TOTeM. Have redone my website so it should load mucho más rápidamente.
on a side note, rewrote quesedilla5 (an eggdrop script that does channel stats). It now outputs phpnuke compatible blocks for use on websites to let people know who's in the bot's channels.. you can see it in action on tribesofthemoon.org. the bottom left and right blocks show who is currently in channels #general and #HoP
I logged on today to post the "chat times, topic" idea, but was beat to it obviously i think its a great idea, with many of us spread over so many timezones, it may be the only way to do it until we have a crowd of lurkers/regulars.
I am always in the channels, but, many times i am away from the comp; sleeping, visiting people, practicing, working on code, healing, or completing contracts.
I had a flashchat from webdesignhq, i think it's still active on my nytemare site.. the only real problem i have had with flash chats is, they dont offer enough control.. I like irc due to the fact i can link it to other servers later (if this gets big enough), manage userlists, channel lists, etc. I can always move the eggdrop bot to a linux box (i have 6 here) and have it do channel stats for any channel that wants them.
The other nice part is, YES i want people to hit the tribes site, and get hooked, and help turn it into a community... but.. at the same time.. I won't force anyone too.. The irc server takes care of a need for my site, and for HoP. If you download an IRC client, and connect to tribesofthemoon.org port 6667 you won't have to hit the tribes website... the java applet is just there to make life a little easier for webtv, appliance, and nt/2k/xp terminal users.
firemike: the timezone stuff, i can probably work up a page that does conversions, let me look around for some code snippets and see what i can do...
if you havent checked it out yet, or tried to check it out and it was taking too long to load.. hit TOTeM, I changed out quite a bit, the theme isnt the greatest, but its clean and straightforward. I cut the load time in half by getting rid of my oh so pretty flash header

ok, quick update, yes i know it doesnt do much, but, i set up a time converter, to use it, you must know your TZ offset.. hit Tribes Time to test it, and, if anyone knows of a good city list with timezones or area list with timezones... let me know and i will update the script

trin, tell us about this, it didn't really readily offer itself on your site:
quote:assume its the provider of our chat? how & where do we register for that as a separate matter from Tribes of the Moon membership registration for the Tribes of the Moon forum?
if you reg with nickserv
SOCALFIRE in its still a-birthing site upgrade will support this potential with a main menu button link as "chat" so it will be our listed regular chatroom.
and relax, remember this is just a beginning and a healthy community WILL NEVER depend on your being awake 24/7, it will build up its own time. i know some of us are eager to actually chat at all right now. but don't try to anchor it even being a nightowl & hard worker.
EVERYONE,
let's ask Goddess_of_Pyre to be like a moderator, or anyone NOT trin, not me right now, who has time to be around HoP and network with peeps and maybe AIM and set up a chat schedule, OK.
more than 1 would be fine, too.
VOLUNTEERS, PLEASE?

logon to the server (the chat/irc server) using either an irc client, or the web interface, and "/msg nickserv help" the main command you will use to reg is "/msg nickserv register password" password = anything you want. that will make sure no one else uses your name, the only downside is, everytime you login you will have to "/msg nickserv identify password"
quote:If you want, I can set up a seperate chat room for ya when you get everything going. I think i limited the amount of channels to 512 or so, mebbe it was 1024... heh been a lil too busy lately to keep track of the configs
SOCALFIRE...
aaaaahhhhhh but but... i like being awake 24/7 better than ayahuasca.. seriously though, i am on quite a bit, chatted with NYC a bit earlier, sparkie is in there now, so am chatting with her..
Hell, i'd volunteer, but, it'll have to wait till after the wedding... too much on my plate at the moment.
