Otherworldly chat!

by Eastree » Nov 16th, '07, 19:15

Talk is rising about how the chat on the site is no longer as much dedicated to tea.

There are other options, of course. There's a registered channel (to prevent hoarding by non-tea people! muahaha) on irc.rizon.net channel #teachat. I have a java applet set up at my site if you don't have an IRC client, though there are many out there, and for free.
applet: http://the-ernest.com/irc/teachat.htm

If people want to go, that's always open. Also, there has been recent experimentation with the use of Yahoo Messenger and mention of other instant messaging protocols for use as an outside chat.

Suggestions are always welcome.

Eastree...the link did not work for me...

One thing I think we should limit is all the talk about ITD on the IM. This is causing confusion amoung members. I have had several PM me asking what is going on.

Perhaps a little self restraint on the forum would be appropriate. If you want to flirt, which I do not mind flirting...actually, flirting can be fun...well, I am getting off the subject. If you want to flirt, perhaps moving it off site is not a bad idea.

Thoughts and suggestions are surely welcomed and greatly appreciated. After all, we want to have the best TEA forum on the planet. Of course with this comes familiarity and having fun with each other.

Yeah...that's my bad. Sometimes I'll mention an ITD post or something in the chat figuring those not 'in the know' will gloss over it. Clearly this is not the case.

That being said...I think we need to start some election polls here. The guidelines I posted for elections aren't rules...just ideas. If there's someone who looks like a great candidate, and looks like they'll stick around but hasn't posted for a full month...well, throw up an election poll anyway. If you're called on it, take it down and throw it up again in a couple weeks.

I liked your one month idea, Mary. But que sera sera...this is coming from a charter member of the Super Elite Tea Fascists Society. TEArany rules.

I like it too, and I think it's a guideline we should usually hold...because god knows how many people come in and leave within a month...but I had TwistedInside in mind. She's not been here that long, but she's participating in the Secret Santa. I think we should make an occasional exception.

We should definitely limit the discussion. We're getting people making up their own definitions for I.T.D.

Who all on the list of ITD members has changed their usernames? That's one confusing thing. :?:

Umm...from what I can see...

RageOfAngels is now Fatalitea
Andy is now Warden
scruffmcgruff is now Scruff McGruff (But, that's pretty obvious. BTW, Scruff...I appreciate the proper spacing and capitalization. Gold star!)

I think that's it.

The list should now be updated to reflect the current names and roster. (The quick of eye will note that TeaKate has been removed. Kate left Adagio and terminated her account.)

Thank you, Mary. Andy was one that threw me for sure. I thought Tomasini was already in too but I was wrong.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Sorry!

I'll probably go back and delete some of these posts in a few days when it comes time to admit those elected in.

Dude...you have no idea how shot my nerves are right now. I'm behind on everything...I fail at life...blah blah blah.

I lost my funny bone.

But it's ok...I'm off now to imbibe large quantities of tequila. I'm sure I'll find it soon.
