Annoucement - OddChat Changes

***Cloverfield*** · #1 04-01-2002, 01:11 AM

I noticed that someone was asking what was happening with OddChat, that they couldn't get into it. And I'm sure others have the same enquiry as well.

Well as you may or may not be aware, we have been having problems again with OddChat. The last one was that I was banned from the entire mIRC server where OddChat is hosted. I have no idea why. So we kind of went on a search for a chat room which we could host on our own server, fully administrate ourselves and not have to worry about being de-registered if we didn't visit every week or so. Thanks to Alcar and Pilot, we found one.

At the moment I'm trying to work it out, and get it configured to work. So if you click the OddChat link at the moment, it won't work. Hopefully soon you will be able to access our new and improved OddChat.

The old OddChat is still around ... it can be found at http://www.oddworld.au.com/oddchat_old if you really want to keep using it. But it will no longer be administrated.

*sigh* Also someone seems to be posting a rumor that the new OddChat will have multiple chat rooms, etc. Firstly this has not even been decided on yet, and secondly I really don't see a need to have multiple chat rooms for something like OddChat which is not a hugely visited chat site. Yes, the features are there to do so, but I find it highly unlikely that we will be using them at this point in time.

Well that explains why it said I wasn't allowed onto Oddchat. I can't wait to see the new one.

I merely explained that the old oddchat had multiple private chatrooms for anybody who put in ther name.

sorry for the misunderstanding ABEBABE

Cool Paramite · #15 04-09-2002, 04:37 PM

I never go to Oddchat.

But it's good to know everything that's happening in and around here.

***Cloverfield*** · #16 04-14-2002, 10:14 AM

Okay ... I haven't really said anything on this for a while. We are having a few problems/delays in getting the new room up, so we have reverted back to the old OddChat.

I think at the moment it is registered by Alcar... so if you see him in there as an OddChat moderator, then that is okay. I can't get into it at all... so it's better to have a trusted forum member in control of it rather than someone we don't know.

I'll unstick this one for now, and bring it back up when I can tell you more.

munchman · #17 04-14-2002, 12:55 PM

ok, thanks again

Just to confirm it, i am the Admin at Oddchat, i came along one day to see it not Registered so i registered it.
