ATS live chat conspiracy

reply to post by ChaoticOrder


Seems selfish, I would love to hear your thoughts. But if you would like to just remain on the forums and not contribute to the live chat, that's your choice.

I'd love to have you in there, and I'm sure the others would as well.

I believe it's a nice social medium... I'm enjoying it and I believe you would too. I plan on making the next show.

Hope to see you in there sometime. ++ thoughts

Mod's if you could help some of these people having problems, please help them. Each person counts.

My suggestion for you guys having problems. Download mozilla or possibly another browser... Mozilla is one. Maybe the new Internet Explorer... Let us know if that doesn't work, Mod's might have some ideas as well.

Haha don't worry...

It's like getting on a motorcycle you gotta go with it. Don't be scared, Their only maybe a few paid informants.

Oh no, I'm not scared, I just like to know the rules I'm playing by. I can not know because it would be down to the interpretation of someone else as to what is vulgar or civilized etc...

Add to that the fact that I don't much like fast paced chat.

I tend to write essays a lot and by the time I'm finished there are a million other posts to go through and then it all starts over again. (previous experience on different chat sites). It makes my head spin. I much prefer the method we use here to be honest.

Maybe that is another reason people don't use it? I bet there are tons of reasons to be honest.

How is it selfish that I would rather my thoughts to remain on a public forum rather than a post restricted chat room which doesn't save anything. If you want to hear my thoughts than simply read my threads and posts. If I were to post my thoughts in the live chat they would already be gone and I couldn't refer you to them.

Well I know their was problems earlier when they had the post count lower, So 10,000 members is great to me...

That's a nice chunk of established members that can use the service... I think that keeps it civil as well, as no one want's to lose their account when their deeply invested with time and energy and etc...

Nothing nefarious abou the chat. Cept its easier to get banned in chat then a thread. The people in the chat are what I would call "lifers". So paid, prob not.. Shill.. Ehh.. Government agents.. I doubt it. Just boring.

Chat's a pretty good tool and met some great people in there, I just can't use it anymore.
Luckily there's skype also

You know what would be an awesome function for live chat...

I believe if you could make it so you could click on someone's name just to see their chat. Not quite ignore, but something similar.

Just an Idea.

Whenever I try, I get an error message saying connection refused immediately even though my settings are ok for it. I just don't think they want me in there!

Hey well we would love to get you back in here, It was fairly empty, but now a few more showed up.

If you can get your browser fixed and maybe try to make the next ATS video... Or anytime I try to frequent it, so maybe I'll see you in there.

And to the others, Don't be shy roll in. If you got to 150 post's without being banned, you can also chat it up with some like minded people and not get banned.

Join the live chat for some real world/real time experience...

Its pretty easy to cross the line there, the rules are the same as on the board........sometimes things slip or people get too jovial and then BAM

Possibly try another browser like Mozilla or Internet explorer.

Hope to see you there some time...

Peace

Hey well I'd advocate for her ban time to be reduced, as she just gets around it by using ATS skype chat!!

I'd love to have the chat room active, It's pretty to awesome to see human conciousness in front of your eyes.

It speaks volumes about the people involved in the chat.

Hope to see you in the chat room some time.

reply to post by yoyoyoyo


absolutely its great to see it on skype too, its really active and also.........there are no filters

So we are free to express how we really feel, and to be honest so far from what ive seen.....people are really great to each other

reply to post by yoyoyoyo


It's perma but thanks, I was only trying to say I know the people in there aren't paid shills...well except that one guy and maybe that other guy.

reply to post by ManBehindTheMask


I have nothing against skype...

I just wanted the ATS chat function to actually be something... I believe it would make this site that much more important...

I mean skype is cool do you need a web cam??

reply to post by yoyoyoyo


not at all , infact most of us would rather not have to show our ugly faces...

LoL

but i am curious as to why you think it would make ATS more important........

I think our forums are heads and tails more important then the chat function

reply to post by ManBehindTheMask


I dunno, hyper connectivity in action in the header that's clickable...

I mean the chat function should ask which one you'd rather use... Or just stick to skype... I'd like it to be endorsed by the website, I guess.

So more people show up, which creates better discussions. imo.

It sounds like you both had the same problem I did. My screen resolution is 1024-768 and the chat window is just a little too big for it. I use Linux but my trick might work under Windows too.

Click on the maximise and restore buttons of the chat window once connected. That seems to bump the rendering so that you get the text entry box at the bottom. Also here, it sometimes won't let you select the text entry box with the mouse after clicking on an emoticon. Switch to another open window, such as the browser and then back to the chat window and you should be able to re-select it with the mouse. Hope it helps. All you need is any recent browser and Java from java.com.

And for anyone else, chat can be a bit of a giggle, quite random but also sometimes quite spontaneous. It is worth a try and at ATS Live showtime can get quite lively. A problem for Euro residents as it starts at 3am local time.
