  1. You could have a look around at http://www.koach.com/ if you didn't already tried that one.

     

    the admins coming in to your room and complaining cause you have too many clones in there

     

    The thing I picture myself here is that you fill your room with clones so it looks more busy and thus makes more people want to join to see if theres something going on in there?

     

    These sort of tactics always backfire is my experience

  2. The problem with using line feed is that the server is expecting a new command. When you do line feed, it expects that you are doing a new command straight after. I'm reasonably sure this is why it's not working.

     

    Oh you are right, now I remember! you can't send more lines unless you use some weird unicode thingy. I remember some people used it to make asci art, don't we have that around here on TG?

  3. Did you get that string out of the console window? Try to use debug.print and you can see in your console window when debugging (put a line breakpoint in front of your code for example) if it shows a linefeed before the data is going to the encode/decode parsing.

  4. I had Alzip once too, its free isnt it? but it did weird things on my pc like creating folders with weird names all the time.

     

    I use winrar, great program, but not free.

  5. 'numbers don't make a room popular'. As in they don't attract chatters

     

    I dont know about anybody else but for me it doesnt work that way, if I look at a roomlist and I see 10 rooms with only 3 people in it and I see a room with 50 then I will try the busy room, numbers do attract imo because if everyone is in that busy room it must be fun to be in. You need active hosts to keep people around for chatting, you need the hosts to talk in the room and not whisper all the time or idle 24/7.

     

    I mean who's going to chat just for idling? yes to keep open a room if you are a room owner, but visitors dont come to idle, they come to chat and if the room is dead they move on, logical to me.

  6. they expect people there waiting to serve their every chatting desire--immediatly.

     

    Yes offcource, atleast if I would really go for the chatting, I will look up a busy room where I have the biggest chance of a good convo or meeting an interesting chatter.. its not like I go into a dead room and try to make it alive.

  7. What stops me from going more often is the lack of..chatting. I go and at times end up idling for 10-15 hours cause every time I look in room ( Lobby) no one says anything. I scroll back in the morning and all that was typed was a few lnes in dutch, a few in english and that's it.

     

    I'm not really a chatter anymore but I think you are right, in my chat days I would check out the busiest rooms on the chatlist, or atleast the rooms where you had something to read. Who really cares about all that clone stuff if you just want to chat.

     

    Something other that resents me is having to install active x controls that are untrusted or unsigned or uncertified etc.. its a security risk no matter how much you trust the makers, a programmer can make a mistake and replace some windows controls on my pc with a wrong version and some components of my O/S could be messed up.. no bad intensions from the makers offcource but it has happened to me in the past.

  8. Was it legal or Illegal the way vincula was made to connect to MSN

     

     

    Illegal, he had the patched ocx included with his script in some of his downloads. Not that Techgear ever directly hosted the patched ocx so we had vincula without the pacthed ocx if I'm correct.

     

    But it still needed something illegal to connect.

  9. I was just wondering what people think about chat..is it still popular, or are people just more interested in scripts now that the actual chat???

     

    I personally think not more interested in script but more interested in new hype's. I think the chat hype is a bit past and it is more blogging and myspace activities now.. and offcource messenger.

     

    If I look at myself as example, I used to chat but I never do anymore now. Its because of a change in my life situation, in the time I was with my ex I was in desparate need for some normal social contact I wasnt allowed to have in real life from him, but these days I think chatting is more a waiste of time.. I like forums though!

     

     

  10. Somehow I think your story is inconsistent, first you say you have no time and energy to start a new site

     

    I realized that my current life situation did not allow me to dedicate the time needed to build up a whole new site. I had the time when I helped build the first site, but I no longer had the time necessary to do it again. <<cut>> err0r, its nobel to say you would just start over from scratch, and that is a good choice. But its another thing to realize you just don't have the time, engery or resources to start all over again.

     

    And then you say after you took over the group you have (created?) a new group?

     

    Hence, when I took that group over, I upheld freedom of speach, and freedom of choice by making the situation completely clear to everyone. Each person was able to read both sides of things, and decide for themselves if they wanted to stay, or join the other group. To ensure that people were able to maintain relationships, and did not lose any because they did not know where others moved to, I added the link to the new group onto the welcome page.

     

    So whats left of your original excuse?

  11. omg what a terrible story! but from what I understand it was initially just about a chatroom and not remaking a complete site, how hard is it just to open up another room? you dont want to know how many times xt room was split haha even sysops were chartered (kids misbehave in helpdesk while beeing in xt room to get it closed)

     

    Anyways, its unhealthy to put your heart and soul in a digital virtual room like that, keep seeing things in perspective.. and maybe now you are able to.

  12. ok.. i deleted my comment. and webagent , no i dont have any beef with him , i dont even know the guy. but ill say im sorry for my comment or comments. and.. just to make lil josh happy, ill leave tg. so have a good life ppl.

     

    I didnt want to scare you away but it was really like something was bothering you so I guess I was wrong. I dont think you should leave.
