The Hybrid I use doesn't auto host anyone unless they are added to access. Depending on the hybrid you use ( I use the Soulfly one) you can add people to the various levels so that if they need to host up on emergency they use one of the host commands to do so without actually having to carry a hammer the entire time. Actually..that's about the only reason why I still choose hybrid..cause of the ability it gives you to not have everyone enter as a host.
Oh..and reason why I'm saying what Trav already said ( almost the same) is cause I know I never disabled anything in Hybrid ( you know me..it's complex lol) so the 'non auto handing out hammers' is prolly there by default.
Is the "anyone remembers a chat clone NSM?' question a trick question?
Do I win anything for saying Yes and if I win sth..will Shaggys prize be better cause he was part of it?
*sulks at getting the smaller prize*
The opening post ended with a question...a WHY one. We simply reply to that with our own because's. Ya can't (well I can't so next time plz add a 'not for iLia to reply notice) state why I miss sth without being nostalgic.
Jeez..you are so difficult at times.....
I miss being able to chat in one place with almost everyone I know. Now I have to go to at least 3 networks to see ppl I enjoy chatting to. It's (msn closing) ruined my reg room(s) , ruined the comms I was in. And if I feel that way after only chatting in MSN for 2 yrs before it closed..I imagine what ppl who used it for 5-6 yrs feel like.
I don't think chat has died..but chatters are so widely spread that no network can ever be popular or busy enough (or offer as much variety). When you couldn't chat in MSN..ya just couldn't chat ( for most of us). Now..if Buzzen is down..you chat in Phreik..or Sparkpea or wherever. So..you actually move a lot....making friends BUT you miss that whole 'WE are all HERE' thing.
However.......maybe chat is dying..and why? It's not as accessible as it was. When I started using the PC..I didn't care about chat. But ..it was only a click away. I didn't have to go google for chat networks..compare and contrast them. These days..people who enter the world of chat are fewer I think.
Depends Lynx..if you are chatting in Buzzen it's the same really lol. I haven't tried any other sites..at least not any pay ones. I wouldn't pay for chat..I find it silly.
