GeoCacher.43 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 When I settle down for the night while out in nature, it would be nice to have a chat with like minded hikers/backpackers/geocachers/etc. Anyone know of some good chat rooms or irc channels with active users? Quote
+pppingme Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 There's a #geocache channel on slashnet. Usually has about 50 people on it. Quote
+ADKer Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Clayjar's chat used to be linked to from the forum, but isn't anymore. (Why?) Anyway, here's a link: http://gcchat.clayjar.com/ Quote
+pppingme Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 That's just a web front end link to the IRC channel I just mentioned. Quote
GeoCacher.43 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks. Only 7 on the channel though. Quote
+ADKer Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 That's just a web front end link to the IRC channel I just mentioned. Oh yeah, oops! I must have missed your post. Quote
+pppingme Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks. Only 7 on the channel though. Watch it, for some reason there are two channels, be sure you're in #geocache and not the other one. Just looked and 21 people in it at the moment, actually kind of quiet for this time of day. Quote
+Ambrosia Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Ah, I remember back to the days where I was on there quite frequently. Haven't visited it for many years. Quote
+Corp Of Discovery Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Our local group (GONIL) has a chat room and regularly scheduled time for such (8-9:30 central time). It's there for use at any time tho. Isn't as busy as it used to be (much as, regretfully, regular forums seem to) due to the juggernaut/blight that is Facebook. Quote
+AndreaHofer Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I've been looking into hiking tweet chats lately, including #TrailTime and #Hikerchat. Here's a link to learn more about tweet chats: http://www.tetonsports.com/adventureblog/hikerchat-guide-digital-outdoors/ Quote
