I keep seeing people talking about real time chat. Does anyone use IRC? I haven't used it in years but just found and installed it again for fun. I put up a channel called #golfGTI if people want to meet there and chat. Connect through a Random USDALnet server. Could be fun. :)

i think you can use irc through a java based website, maybe it could be incorporated into the room, will have a word with one o f the tecchy lads at work to see how its done, may see ya there soon, as i was thinking of downloding irc for old times sake to !
-
sounds good. I think you are right not sure how to tough. If I could I'd add it to my web page
-
just downloaded it, cant get connected tho!!!!
Damm thing!
-
i am currently on and logged into #golfGTI
-
let me know simpleton instructions!!! as i aint that clever on here!! then ill have a look?? ???
-
Will do you a for dummies guide then shall i kniterider! :P
-
i use EFnet.. there are some weird foreigners in #golfGTI over here.. lol
-
totally lost me now if were gonna have some kind of live chat surely it needs to be approved and a link put on the homepage!!! ???
-
will do mate, but some can actually be part of the website like the forum is, just need to find out what suits us best and get jv's approval!
-
im already having discussions with jv about a chatroom (see the ideas section) will be a lot easier to access for those of you that arent familiar with IRC... ive been using it since i was a nipper but the #golfGTI channel on dalnet is empty right now :-\
-
I'm in there
-
If i can figure out how to run chat on my personal webpage then I'll start one up for us VW nutters. :)
-
All new to me.........I'll give it a go and see what happens..........
-
I appear to be in.........no-one else here though. Anyone else going to try it?
-
im still confused by all this!!!!!! ???
-
if u wanna check it out without having to be a nerd like us guys, go to www.dal.net (http://www.dal.net) . right hand side where it says "Chat Now" type in a nickname (something unusual so it wont already bein use) click go! .. You'll get a little popup message asking you to install jIRC applet, its perfectly safe just click yes. Once your connected type /join #golfgti and press enter and Roberts ya fathers brother.
-
ill wait till we get one that will run from a link on homepage, just tried and didnt work for me!!! ???
-
I'm having a hell of a time getting it configed right know. Antone know this stuff better than me? If so drop me a line at bgodkin@fireflyuk.net and maybe we can get it sorted so everyone can use it. ;D
-
Think I have it sorted for the time being. Maybe it can be improved on still. Give it a go though and let me know if there are any problems. The URL to my page is http://users.fireflyuk.net/~bgodkin/index.html just go to the VW Chat link and it will take you to the chat page. It is set up to go to #GolfGTI automatically. Takes a couple seconds on a slow connection (like mine) but was working on my end. :) Time for a beer and bed. All this code reading is doing my head in.
