Chat - Starting with 2 lounges

The forum discussed this a few months back but I figured i'd check in on it. On days like today (where zero people are in the office), this would be a good time filler..

[MESSAGE from Patrick]
Ok guys, I think we finally got a chat on WSO working...it's a paid option but hopefully this time the module wont blow up. We are starting with 2 lounges:

The Business Lounge: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/the-wso-business-lounge

and

The Off-Topic Lounge: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/the-wso-off-topic-lounge

You can also find links to both of these lounges under the Recent tab at the top of the page.

Thanks for your patience,
Patrick

 

I would need actual friends and people who like me enough to respond back for Gchat and Facebook. Nothing beats anonymous online chats with strangers.

Yeah, slow day. Waiting for New Year's.

I don't know about other people, but I don't want to advertise my name which is on both of those. I think it's fairly easy to get a basic browser chat program set up, not sure about that though. I would definitely love a chat function to shoot the sh*t with you successful folk in real time.

PS- Spam filter. Hate.

I'm in there now, not a bad option by any means. +1 on keeping it (or making one on the actual WSO site, would actually prefer that or even just a prominent link to it)

The problem with the chat is that it onl allows 10 users at a time.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

Could try Meebo instead.

Ill be on for a while today

That's seriously a great idea.

 

Bah, little did I know it logs you out if you, say, go to the chiropractor :-p

Still around

PS- Whoever turned off the Visitor List, you should turn it back on so people can see who is in the chat

I wish we had snow days, but no, not in CO

Just throwing this out there, could you edit your OP with that info? It'd be easier than scrolling down every time.

Yea, but I never use bookmarks, thanks mod for adding it to OP

At 8:45pm at night on a Friday? If you're just looking for some company, they have these phone numbers you can call and a girl will chat with you on the phone for as long as you'd like.

I haven't been around much lately, school -> work -> drink, rinse and repeat. I'll try and hop on more later this week.

The problem with mIRC is many companies/schools block the necessary ports to access it (at least they used to). Haven't used it in a while, but I've got it on my computer and wouldn't be opposed to using it. I would, however, say it probably won't be a big hit unless you can couple it with a browser applet.

I can definately do that. Let me take care of a few things and on the weekend I'll set up a server/channel for WSO users.

Let me know if there is any interest in this idea. It will be cool to talk to some of you guys in real time.

 

I'm still trying to find the time to post on WSO, much less get on chat. Life can be a bitch now and again.

ANT, Monty09, bulge4lyf and I are taking questions in the chat but if you ask about prestige we are going to burn your house down

Forgot about that, I'm down to use it (on there now)

Patrick, you could always just make a new tab in the dropdown menus for chat and have it link to either the new or original chat web addresses.

haha chatzy is good entertainment after watching women's basketball

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

On for a bit, depending on who all joins up

Aw shucks, was too busy studying, maybe I'll catch you sometime soon. Who gives a test worth 20% of your grade on the 4th day of class?

Haha, I have a case-study due in 21 hours which I'm yet to start and it's worth 25%.

I win here, I win there...
 

Funny story, I was forced to drop the class I had spent 12 hours studying for (and sacrificed 8 hours of sleep for) because I hadn't met one of the prereq's I was told I would be fine without. Gah.
