Hey Heidi *points to above*
I went to the site that someone mentioned in tonight's/last night's chat; chattersonline was a suggestion: http://www.chattersonline.com/
It seems about right - but I didn't investigate further - hope it helps - and thanks to whoever suggested it - I went to look right after chat ended at 11pm EDT but only now got the chance to post :)
You can have Moderating here - am still trying to understand it - but it doesn't archive the transcript:
Can I get transcripts of my room's events? --No. This java chat does not record any room activity. With the next major upgrade of the software registered rooms will have that capability. Free rooms will not, however.
*points down* looks like dangel is a little more versed in IRC than i am. i based my suggestion on the farscape chat the other night; that was the first organized one i've been to, and one of the few times i've been IRC in general (though i've done other real-time chats).
i was able to do a search on "IRC FAQ" for several user references. however some of them haven't been updated in a few years, by the look of things. i'll see if i can catch IRL folks over the next few days for suggestions.
You could find a decent IRC server or network and register a channel, and have everyone download a program like mIRC. There is also a variety of java chat software out there, some that have servers you can set up rooms on for free, and others where you pay for an account.
I would use trillian as a substitute for Y!M, AIM, and the (rare) times for ICQ, but I heard it's a bit of a resource hog. ;) Also, can't out of the habit of using mIRC when you've been using it for years. *g*
*g* i've done talkers & bbs's, but never really got into IRC.
as for trillian, i usually don't have too much trouble with it until i leave it connected for 3-5 days. at which point, i just restart the thing. so yes, it does seem to have a memory leak...but at least on Win2K Pro, it takes a while to present itself. (Athlon 650, 128MB RAM.)
It'd probably never survive a decent while on a Windows 98 computer. A future upgrade to XP or 2000 with lots more RAM and hard drive space should warrant a spin on trillian, though.
I peeked at your userinfo, and see that you know terredancer. Send Tee my greets. *g*
I recommend IRC, as that is what HOL uses. It works well. It says that you have to register, but I have been using it for over a year and haven't done it yet.
