Guest Peter Scholtz Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Trying to twist Jeremy's arm here ... Would you like a Geocaching.com IRC server? Many of us have bad impressions of IRC because of all the weird sh*t ... but in a group like ourselves it would be worthwhile. A like the idea of having a chat just after finding a cache. In South Africa we have GSM cellular networks and it works great with my Palm and Nokia GSM phone. And of course the forums are a bit slow for some of us ... ------------------ Peter Scholtz www.biometrics.co.za Quote Link to comment
Guest zilla Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Sure! I posted earlier about mIRC, and have even set up a chat site on the superchat server, but so far I haven't been able to catch anyone there.. Maybe if we have our own server we'll see more activity.. Quote Link to comment
Guest PharoaH Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I haven't decided if I am for or against the idea. There are a lot of unwanted types on IRC, you're right. I think there would have to be a way to strictly limit the IRC visitors to be registerred geocachers only. There are are already some geocaching channels on different IRC networks... I think that just made up my mind. I appreciate Jeremy's work on the main site and the message boards. I don't want to stretch his time any thinner than it already is. I would rather see someone point out an established #Geocaching on some pre-existing IRC network. Quote Link to comment
Guest k2dave Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I'm not sure yet, I'll have to get back to you. But I just ordered the data conectivity kit for my audiovox 135 and hope to eventually hook it to my palm. For early test I want to just hook up the palm cradle serial port to the serial port on hte data conectivity kit. I need some type of adapter since the 2 ends are the same gender. Is there a special adapter needed or do the pins just go straigt through? Quote Link to comment
Guest Iron Chef Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 A Geocaching IRC server would be great. :~) ------------------ -Iron Chef _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ agefive.com/geocache/ ~ Fe-26 Lets Drive Fast and Eat Cheese! Quote Link to comment
Guest McIrish Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Iron Chef:A Geocaching IRC server would be great. :~) I think an IRC server would be great also. If you would like to see a good example of a well controlled chat area look at momsonline.com. I do think that they can be overly strict sometimes, but I know for one that I can go there anytime and find nice people to talk to. I don't go to any other chat area. They allow men...LOL... so check it out. Quote Link to comment
Guest Peter Scholtz Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 Have a look at ConquerChat which uses ASP and is free. When the main site, forum and chat are integrated we'll have a single login ... ------------------ Peter Scholtz www.biometrics.co.za [This message has been edited by Peter Scholtz (edited 11 August 2001).] Quote Link to comment
