Colors TCG Chatroom (Revival)

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Okay folks! Many of you might remember when I proclaimed that we would have a chatroom! I still wish to make this happen, but I arrive with a simple question.

Would you all prefer an AIM chatroom or an IRC chatroom?

I, personally, use AIM for 100% of my chat activities, but at the same time I have seen what IRC is capable of. We could have a dedicated IRC Channel bot, and daily welcome messages that reflect what the current conversation is so that anyone just joining the chat can jump right in after they see what the discussion is about.

I'm quite certain i'm not the only one that has been wondering "We may all play this TCG, but most of us really don't talk much or know eachother!" Truthfully, there are only a few players that I know really well, and only a few beyond that that I have had more than just small talk with. I want to change this, because every single one of you that i've met has been super cool!

So I ask this:
"Would you prefer an AIM or IRC chatroom for Colors TCG?"
1 - "Yes, AIM! I don't want to download IRC!"
2 - "Yes, IRC! I don't want to download AIM!"
3 - "I use both, either one works."
4 - "Yes AIM! I'll even download it for this!"
5 - "Yes IRC! I'll even download it for this!"
6 - "Yes to either, I'll download either one."
7 - "No thanks." (No comment counts as this)
8 - "I HATE YOU, SKIE" ( ;_; )
9 - Chatzy (Here! Make sure to click "Join Chat" at the bottom when the chat window shows up)

Edit: I have changed my mind to AIM and/or Chatzy. That system is pretty neat!

...

tl;dr: I want to chat with people, how can we make it happen?
DISCUSS. :D

Edit: PS: I will now be in the AIM chatroom named ColorsTCG as often as possible.
IM me at LightAcadia or DarkAcadia if you don't know how to get in.

IRC hates meeee! My only issue is, aim takes up a lot of mem on my comp. and I multitask to no end. So, I often disconnect from messengers for long periods of times.... D: But I'm for aim.

Unless we can find something else without downloading. The only issue with the other chatrooms, is we are prone to trolls if someone leaks the link. /has been there. :/

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Does Trillian (or any of the other multi-messaging system programs) take up as much memory as AIM does? That might be an alternative, I suppose.

Ah yes. I had forgotten that trolls like to do things like that. When I was in a chat for an LJRP, strangely, we never had any trolls show up. They seem to be hit or miss.

[orechibisama.livejournal.com]

ah. Trillian doesn't work for me period. It keeps asking me to pay to use it services so I ended up uninstalling. I can always use Meebo, but it crashes a lot.

http://www.chatzy.com/714879126675 I made this. IDK if people will want to use it a lot. Just requires people to change name and color and they can join the chat. :I

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Ack- That sucks. Oddly enough, Meebo has been crashing far less for me than AIM itself has. My AIM now crashes almost every hour.

Neat! :0 I like that chatzy thing!

[orechibisama.livejournal.com]

It was the first free chatroom I could come up with.

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

It's pretty sweet!

8.

Also I use AIM and like it. IRC confuses me.

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

HOW DID I KNOW YOU WOULD PICK THAT, SAM.

AIM seems to be universally equal-access and the easiest to use among people. Though many use MSN and Yahoo, too.

[maidsofmight.livejournal.com]

I saw it and it was like you put it there just for me.

I use MSN too. I think you can set up perm chatrooms there too, but I'm not sure how it works.

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

xD I kind of did.

I've always had trouble with setting up chatrooms that stay forever. D:

[vriska.livejournal.com]

1! I didn't like IRC the one time I tried to use it, so I will stick with the AIM chatroom for sure.

I hope to see people there! ♥

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

IRC has always been so complicated for me. D:
Also uwah! I saw you blip into the AIM chatroom, and then blip out.

But the chatzy chat is popular. =D

[vriska.livejournal.com]

I did blip out! I decided to try out the chatzy room instead :3

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

8D Awesome

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

=D Awesoooome!
It seems like the Chatzy idea is turning out to be popular, too, because you don't need to download anything and it's reliable.

[mori]

I had fun in the AIM chat last time, I was just... super awkward because I had no idea who anyone was. Even when everyone was introducing themselves. Fff.

I might try and pop in again every so often though. \o\ Probably just on AIM and Chatzy because I have no idea how IRC works either so.

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

I had to take notes to remember. That's why i'm liking Chatzy more now, because we can set our names as our Colors names and not have to remember AIM names. =D

[mori]

Oh really? I hadn't looked at Chatzy yet so I had no idea, but that's definitely nice. I won't be so lost this time.

Now to just stop being awkward in big chats |D

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Feel free to join us in the current chat! Ouji, Kuri, Mara, Tari and I are there... RIGHT NOW 8D

[fifalde.livejournal.com]

Aim and Chatzy both sound great! :)

[yuz.livejournal.com]

AIM never works properly for me ;A;
I like the idea of the Chatzy room though!

[electrumicity.livejournal.com]

I choose 1 and 8.

:DDDDD

[piraskel.livejournal.com]

I'm always on IRC but it seems like most people don't use it, so. AIM I would have to remember to sign in, but I usually do leave it running too.

[kidalana.livejournal.com]

For IRC there's always Chatzilla which is a browser plug in and makes it sooo much easier. And for AIM alternatives there's always Meebo...

/is late... Just wanted to share that.
