trig11 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I think it would be a great idea to start a simple chat room for the sight, It would give people a great chance to talk and share ideas more directly. i also want to see what people think of the idea. Edited May 11, 2009 by trig11
OpinioNate Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 There is a geocaching chat on IRC. Groundspeak does not support or maintain it. Nevertheless, it has a lot of history. irc.slashnet.org port 6667, channel #Geocache

I think I would rather use GTalk, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ or something like that. Hosting a "chat room" can be a huge pain and also a security problem.
+obsidianspider Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I added the IRC channel to Pidgin and got into the chat room without any issues (thanks leftyfb for letting me know). I haven't tried IRC chat with Adium yet, but I'll look into it when I get home from work. Edited May 11, 2009 by obsidianspider
+obsidianspider Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Apparently Adium doesn't like IRC (WTF?) so I went with Colloquy for IRC chat on my Mac. See you all in the chat room!

There is also a link to a browser-based version of the chatroom on the main page of the forums. Scroll down to "ClayJar's Geocaching Chat". (On an unrelated note, boy am I glad you forgot to close that font size tag. Size 7 on these forums is huge! )

Clicking the link from the forum list or going to http://gcchat.clayjar.com/ will pull it right up (via a nice little java applet), or you can use whatever software you'd like. Every Monday night from 8:30-10:00pm Central (US) time is the weekly "official" chat (where there will *always* be people there), but people are there or lurking pretty much all the time. (And speaking of lurking, let me get back to it. )

If you don't have that, then you may need to update your Java. There's also a trust you have to approve.
+Prime Suspect Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Depends on his security settings, since it appears that the java app's security certificate has expired.
