audioRob Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I think there should be a kitelife irc chat. Those of us familiar with irc could connect with our preferred client and John could add an irc java app to the front page for those without. Most multiclient chat clients handle irc such as trillian, gaim, fire, adium and the like. Realtime chat would be pretty cool Id suggest freenode or dalnet as a server for this particular chat.

John Barresi Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's been slow going on this project... If anyone knows of a good web-site-based chat script or IRC gateway for web sites, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioRob Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 http://www.pjirc.com/main.php That's where it's at. If you need help setting up the room or selecting a server and whatnot let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 The problem I'm running into is time limitations... So much on my plate right now, I don't see having the time to do this myself until December. If one of you can do the actual set up, I'll be happy to take a look and put the Kitelife stamp on it if it meets my approval. I love the chat idea, just having trouble getting around to it.

John Barresi Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Here ya go... http://www.kitechat.org/index.php Still tweaking the layout, but it's fully functional. Need to register for the chat separately, but it's still free. Also, I'd recommend "Popup login" until I widen the site template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I'd say it was a success. It's the same chat our kite club uses at www.ikeclub.org. We just haven't decided to go public with it or not. Right now we use it among the moderators for a quick decision on something. Mike Kory brought up the point about a live chat and over using it, none of the chat is archived like a regular forum, so there is not really a way to find any info on it. It is a very useful addition to any forum, and I think we may start seeing live chats on other forums to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
