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
isnt that what facebook/gchat are for?
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.
Chat feature could be nice on a day like today.
We could just make our own chat room and then put up a link....
here is our new chat: http://www.chatzy.com/758605668402
password is monkey
I am logged on if anyone is up
Bump
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)
Good start. Let's see who's online...
i am trying to log on.. can someone pm me info
The problem with the chat is that it onl allows 10 users at a time.
Could try Meebo instead.
If you are interested in making it a permanent (or even temporary) feature, I've heard good things about PJIRC

I'm happy to set this up if Patrick wants me to.
Definitely a good idea at the very least a shoutbox
Doesn't drupal have a chat module?
Everytime I'm online no-one else is. FML. Lol.
Ill be on for a while today
+1
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
Is it open?
i am on solo
Come join right now everybody!
click on the link and join penis faces
anyone?
Im hopping on
Let's get the party started people.
Join the chat
I'm online right now. Is anyone else around ?
If there was a link on the WSO page somewhere, it'd make this thing a lot more successful.
Yea it would, I'm on
PS- Whoever turned off the Visitor List, you should turn it back on so people can see who is in the chat
anyone around?
I just got on
whats the link
Anyone around?
yup.
anyone on?
happy friday!
Happy work from home snow day!
I wish we had snow days, but no, not in CO
Good to see i am not the only one doing nothing at the office...

For ease of reference.
Just throwing this out there, could you edit your OP with that info? It'd be easier than scrolling down every time.
You can just book mark it..
Yea, but I never use bookmarks, thanks mod for adding it to OP
im in chat if anyone wants to talk.
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.
Says CompBanker as he posts on the forums :)
anyone watching state of the union, ill be in the chat room
anyone on? lets chat
I haven't been around much lately, school -> work -> drink, rinse and repeat. I'll try and hop on more later this week.
LOL this feels like jr. high when everyone first got AIM
Have you guys heard of MIRC? I could set up a server for everyone to use free of charge. All you have to do is DL the client and I can give you the server info.
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.
anyone around? im on
Anyone down to chat?
im on
anyone wanna chat? afterall, it is friday.
anyone on?
monty and I are
Chat?
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.
I'm down to chat for the next 15 mins until i leave...
montys looking for 7 more folks
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
what chat client are you guys using?
http://www.chatzy.com/758605668402
ps: monkey
Im on
Why don't we do IRC? There are clients available for iPhone / Android, there's webchat, there's people who still use mIRC...
Also, it seems there is already a (small) WSO community on Freenode at #wso.
http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=wso&uio=d4
Forgot about that, I'm down to use it (on there now)
I don't like that new chat at all, I'll be in the old (standard) one that we've been using for the last month or two
anyone around? im in the good chat
im around for a bit
since this seems to be so popular I am going to make another run at getting chat available on WSO so instead of posting to this thread you can just go into the "chat lobby" to see who is around.
no promises though....the last time we tried this it was very very buggy.
Great idea! I'd do it if I didn't have to go to another site, and I imagine some people must feel the same.
im in chat
anyone around?
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.
I'm in chat watching oscars
Anyone around? I've got another hour at work.
Im around for a couple hours
Anybody awake?

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%.
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.
Guess who's back back back, back again...
