Chatting

NickSawyer	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 1:25 PM I think maybe a little chat room would be cool for the site. Shouting back and forth in the shout boxes is fine and good and works well, but it seems like a chat room would be an easy way for users to communicate. Of coarse that may create more fanatics but... good for them. Anyway, there's my idea.
imemine	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 1:36 PM Been tried!
NickSawyer	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 1:50 PM oh? was there something wrong with the idea? or maybe it was just the admins! :evil: just kidding
Alstroph	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 1:50 PM That's always talk about a chat room at DMusic. It seems that we're not really ready for one yet... but I wouldn't rule it out for the future. And besides... what would the point mongers do if we had a chatroom?

Also I guess with 20 people or less on here at once it may not do too well
ShadowMom	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 5:36 PM Would this make it easier for artists to discuss their collabs in a chatroom instead of by shout or note? And sometimes, the conversations do get hard to follow in individual shoutboxes. And what "point mongers" do you mean, Alstroph?
GTOriginal	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 5:39 PM POINTS! Huh!!! What are they good for? Absolutely nuthin'!!!
NickSawyer	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 6:14 PM good points (no pun intended ) both of you. ShadowMom, good you see my point! I dunno I still think it may be a good idea. (and points are quite pointless) whoa, how many times did I just say "point"?
NickSawyer	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 7:25 PM ah, another thought. Why would you have to award points for chatting?
ShadowMom	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 7:43 PM I do know during the day, people leave who want to chat-- they go to Yahoo, or AIM, or MSN... and if we had a chatroom they wouldn't need to leave.
gtr1960	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 8:00 PM I know I'm new here. I'm not sure what the points things is even all about. I have music uploaded on another site, that is similar to this one,only on a smaller scale. Not sure if it is ok to spam it or not. You probably already know about it. I'll just say the word "bandamp" .I like the site because of the chat room. It works great for getting collabs started up. If it gets cluttered we go to skype, aim, msn. Most of the people on there use the chat and skype, cause we can actually "talk" to each other about our collabs.

People can run a browser and IM clients at the same time. I am on DMusic and chatting on GoogleTalk right now. The last time a chat room was tried, a couple of people showed up and started fighting and then it just faded away. I have a feeling that happened with all the previous attempts too. Not saying that it should not be tried, but I don't think it will be a roaring success. I imagine almost everyone has an IM client of some sort.
ShadowMom	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 9:30 PM Uhh.... not all of us want to talk to the entire internet, Shadowself. I know I don't have one. I figure I have enough stuff running on my pc without one more program.
gtr1960	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 11:36 PM I know some sites have mods that check the chat. If users are flaming, or causing problems in general they are warned.... happens again they are blocked access to the chat. They keep causing problems to the site itself.... they're banned.
Alstroph	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 11:51 PM What I meant Mom is that some people like collecting points. If we had a chatroom I'm sure we would award points per post in the chat room... could you imagine the boost and inflation rate of points?!
Alstroph	Date: March 19, 2007 @ 11:51 PM boost=abuse...
NickSawyer	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 8:03 AM how about a few points for each login to the chat room, but not for every post?
BlackMage	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 8:33 AM We don't need points. End of argument. As for the chatroom, I recall 2 attempts. One at IRC, one at Chatzy. Both faded away in a week. I'm all up for it, if someone just finds the time to admin it and/or code/integrate it to the main site.
NickSawyer	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 8:49 AM yeayeayea come on admins! Hey you could call it DChatz too. Well i shouldn't be assuming too much but i think you should definately give it a try, personally.
GTOriginal	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 12:15 PM Points for sale. Cheap!
ShadowMom	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 1:21 PM It isn't up to admins... it has to be coded. And monitor it? I think you might offend my delicate sensibilities-- but yes, it could be monitored.
southwing	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 1:34 PM I'm not real big on chattering, mostly just sit there and stare blindly into space, but couldn't the 'Site Shout Box' be used as a 'chat room'? jus my

I am just saying that most people do have IM programs, and that chat has been tried here before and has failed miserably due to fighting then lack of interest. Just stating facts. As for having to install something, well... if your computer has Windows, you already have MSN Messenger. Or if you have a GMail account, you already have GTalk - you can use the built-in client in GMail without downloading a thing. The coders have a lot on their plates. There are broken features, there are features that people have been asking for, there are design tweaks that the site is crying for, etc. Integrating a chat room is a big undertaking for something that may just be ignored after the novelty wears off. If people had shown that they actually wanted a feature like this the last couple of times that rooms were available (though not integrated), I could see it. But as BlackMage pointed out, they faded away in days.
ShadowMom	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 1:46 PM Shadowself, you could well be right. I wasn't even here the last time it was implemented. So I can't speak to that point, but there are so many collaborations going on now, it just seemed like an easy way for users who want to use it to chat. And Ime... that wasn't funny You -- me --- first chatroom. No holds barred.
shadowself	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 1:55 PM Don't get me wrong, Mom... I am not against it, I have just seen what happens and am trying to look at the big picture. Yes, it may be helpful for those who collaborate, but the percentage of us collaborators who do not have alternate, just-as-easy methods of communication is minute.
NickSawyer	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 2:13 PM On 20th Mar 2013, ShadowMom said: It isn't up to admins... I'm curious then, who codes the site?
BlackMage	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 4:51 PM "Who codes the site?" Jack, Apertome and Chillinbuzz to my knowledge.
imemine	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 4:55 PM Yes-No and No to my knowledge.
NickSawyer	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 5:08 PM ah, thank you, whoever is right
BlackMage	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 5:16 PM Oh, yeah. Apertome used to be a dev and Chill just assists on the HTML. Carry on. http://www.dmusic.com/about/bios/
imemine	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 5:18 PM Yep----I think Jack is the only coder left! Ask mom, she knows everything about the place.....and she should----SHE LIVES HERE!
ShadowMom	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 5:28 PM And did you wipe your shoes before you came in? I thought not! And yes, currently Jack is our sole coder. And a nifty one he is, too! But lonely... so lonely! He needs another programmer
imemine	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 5:39 PM If you would clean up after Shadow, we wouldn't have this problem!
ShadowMom	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 5:48 PM My Shadow is well-trained. More than I can say for some people I know!
NickSawyer	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 9:09 PM you should get an award
Distilled1	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 10:12 PM well there is this great place to chat... but... we need more of you there to make it a true chat room and live room
imemine	Date: March 20, 2007 @ 10:14 PM I smell a Second Life pitch comming on! .....or were you pitching Myspace?
NickSawyer	Date: March 21, 2007 @ 8:04 AM myspace
ShadowMom	Date: March 21, 2007 @ 8:09 AM The longest I've left DMusic in the last year was to watch Moam's new video. SL? Let them come here.
Distilled1	Date: March 21, 2007 @ 8:12 PM DMusic Frapper has a chat
jack	Date: March 22, 2007 @ 12:28 AM It's funny you should bring this up. We have a chat, but it's not ready for public eyes yet. It's integrated into our site which means you won't need to leave DMusic (or install any third-party apps, not even Java!)- anyway, enough shameless plugs, this is a feature that's been in development for a long time (pre-redesign) but my priorities are elsewhere at the moment. Stay tuned!
NickSawyer	Date: March 22, 2007 @ 10:14 AM Okay! It's good to finally have an explanation
BlackMage	Date: March 22, 2007 @ 7:56 PM I'd buy it. If it were free 'course.

LegoBreaks	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 8:35 PM this could work for firefox users how bout http://dai.sy/ An extension that lets you chat with other people who have it installed that are on the same page/site
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 12:38 AM
GTOriginal	Date: March 29, 2007 @ 12:12 PM This idea deserves an award... Announcing The first annual DMusic Fantasy Feature/Event Award! Unfortunately for "Chat Room", it is still the first runner up to "DM Convention". That one's gonna be tough to beat, with "Video Integration" as a good third place candidate. Cast your votes today!
TameasDust	Date: March 30, 2007 @ 4:28 AM Chatroom
jack	Date: March 30, 2007 @ 8:56 PM It's funny you should mention Video too.
ShadowMom	Date: March 30, 2007 @ 9:00 PM I do still have a certain link, Jack...
RedLevels	Date: June 12, 2012 @ 10:45 AM LOL.... i was just thinking this site needs a chat room and i found this thread ...ahhh that was a relief
