I'm experimenting with setting up a chatroom for us, if you are interested in the idea, either use chatzilla or get a irc client like icechat and join me on
Server: irc.newnet.net
Channel: #GDChat
You can also use this Java Chat Web Page
http://client00.chat.mibbit.com/?channel
(Select NewNet from the server dropdown list & enter your Uername/Nickname then click Connect)
I should be online tomorrow myself, but all the same the channel is there 24/7 so please try it out even if i'm not there (same username), please post any comments about the idea here.

I like the idea but can't join just yet... I have to run to Microcenter to pick up some hardware and rebuild two computers for my teenage sons.

odd, i might need to find a different one then.
FYI I Highly recommend using a client like Icechat or mirc, they just work a lot better.
to add the server in Icechat fyi just click the add button below the servers list & paste the Server Address in both server name fields.

Lenneth,
I like your new avatar.

Where is it from?
I used chatzilla to talk to you earlier.
I really hope the idea of a chatroom takes off.

OK, Lenneth, old silly Sammie needs some tech help.
I pasted your link (
http://en.irc2go.com/webchat/?net=NewNet) into a new browser window.
I get that page to open asking me for the chat room and a nickname.
I assume the chat room is :#GDChat
Is my nickname just my name?
That is what I entered.
I then get the window for the room but it tells me it cannot connect. Am I doing something wrong?
I am using Safari on a Macpro

yes I noticed, and although chatzilla works, it's not as well designed as Iceechat & mirc.

Thanks, I hope it works out to, I just dont want it to Detract from this great site, it's a complement, not a replacement, and like you said in the chatroom it would be handy for if BN were to ever go off-line again.
