And

One of these

Go ahead, you've earned it

Didn't go through all 6 pages of this thread so I apologize if I am off base here...but in my chat withdrawals I was looking at other chat services and found one that also uses 123FlashChat.

What I noticed was theirs showed Version 10.0 and it worked flawlessly...ATS's shows Version 9.9...

Could this be due to a version issue? Can the latest version of 123FlashChat be downloaded somewhere and replace the 9.9 version?

unknown error. sighhhhhhh

www.123flashchat.com...

So we'll be looking for a new chat provider again.

My darn conspiracy mind says that chat room is locked down for mods tonight . (really not sure if im kidding or not anymore)
Happy halloween everyone.
Good luck with whatever's going on

Hopefully chat will be revived soon.
There is a few alternate chat rooms out there i hope.

Sounds like this is rounding out to be the only option left .
Hopefully the next chat host actually takes some initiative and is willing to stand behind their product.
You would think that given the ammount of traffic to ATS and the length of time the ATS admin have been using their product that they would at least offer an apology or something at the very least .

From a commercial standpoint , This really sets a bad example of the people over at 123flashchat and really sais alot about what sort of business ethic they practice SMH .

I know personally that SkepticOverlord has been on 123s back from the start of the trouble a few days ago so on behalf of the chat regulars and myself i want to say thank you and that we appreciate the effort you are putting in to sort all of this out for us .

If membership can do anything to help out with the problem please dont hesitate to ask us here, or U2U us .

Everything happens for a reason they say... This may be an opportunity to just build your own and make it exactly how you want it...a PHP script would be one way to go as opposed to a service. Would take some time understandably, nevertheless, it would be customized & maintained by ATS staff and more over, hosted by ATS for ATS membership.

Not that you don't already have a heap on your plate but, food for thought anyway.

If i remember Skeptic was working on one at one time. I hope he saved the work he had done on it incase of such a situation. If not we will see i guess. This will kill more listenership for ATS radio even more apparently. As last time this happenned it reduced listenership.

I just don't have the time right now… nor in the near-future either.

I started an HTML5 compliant chat about a year ago, but didn't get far.

I think I may have an impermanent solution at least in regards to chatting during any ATS Radio or other ATS Live shows. I found this website...

Stinto

Create your own free chat and invite others to join by sending them a simple link.
Your chat is automatically disposed when not in use for some time.

It's a basic chat interface, no bells and whistles to really speak of such as emoticons, text size, shape & color or anything although you can have a dark or light theme which is relative to ATS. And, unfortunately nothing to speak of as far as any Moderation is concerned, as well it isn't able to incorporate any ATS specific rules/requirements as far as having the necessary credentials to enter 'Chat' as it were. All a user needs to access the chatroom is the URL. Then they simply enter a username and agree to the terms and conditions and gain entry into the room.

My thought process is...upon posting any threads announcing said Live Shows that users are accustomed to being able to chat along with, a Mod or other Staff Member can create the room before the show starts and post the link in the Show's thread. Any user wishing to chat during the show will simply click the link in the thread. Once the show ends and all the users have left the chat room eventually poofs away according to the services description.

This was just a surface scraping at an attempt to find a temporary alternative at least for the Live Shows. Generally, most folks are well behaved during the shows so despite the membership base having a little more leeway than normal, I feel confident it wouldn't be abused as most of the regulars in chat...are just that, regulars.

I made a test one that I am sitting in right now for those that want to give it a spin. Chat Test

They need something which will utilize their user database.

I don't think a free chat will cut it.

a reply to: pl3bscheese

Yeah...I can understand how they wouldn't be able to endorse it based on that. Nevertheless, if say a member, posted a link to a chat in the shows thread...for other members who wish to chat...well, then they technically wouldn't be endorsing per se. Basically, members are creating a means to still communicate in real time during live shows albeit maybe not officially endorsed by ATS Owners...but then again, perhaps not frowned upon either.

By any means...was just a notion for one alternative that could be considered.

Skeptic isnt there someone here you cangive what you have to to finish up? Otherwise i guess look for a chat provider. Jtv can be linked to ATS if you are interested.
