well, I don't expect anyone to find this idea useful or anything, but I was thinking, maybe we could have some kind of IRC chat, or Java Chat, or some kind of Real-time chat. Just somewhere we could chat while we use the forums.

....yeah, I know, dumb idea, right? ^.^; Hurray, I made a fool of myself in my first few hours!

This has actually come up a couple of times. One of our recently inactive (

) members, Novaflare, volunteered to help set up an IRC chat but we decided against it for the main reason that it would probably rarely get used.

In reality, chatrooms are only useful if a large number of people want to chat together. Our community is small enough that the number of people on the board at one time could generally fit into an MSN or Yahoo conference chat.

If anyone is willing to set up an IRC chat, I'd say go for it! I just don't know how much it would get used.

Welcome to the GOF Achillobator!
It is really great to have a new member to our group who started an interesting discussion even with his first introduction post

Please feel hearty invited to join our discussions and start threads of your own. I'm hoping to see some of your drawings in our art section(s).

I wrote a response to your point about scientific names in LBT but I felt the topic deserved an independent thread
Looking at your name, are you too interested in ancient Greek mythology?

Yeah, A bit :3 I am not an expert on the subject or anything, but I tend to find some inspiration from greek myths. :3

Hey there.

Just to answer some things that have been showing up:

This whole board is a suggestion box.

If a topic is posted it is usually found pretty quickly. No need for a separate thing to be installed/added.

I'm with Tim on the IM--very rarely due to time differences and careers are we ever all on at once. If you happen to see many on MSN (the most popular here) then we just join up in one big room.

Avatars - 200x200 I think is the maximum I allow already. I'd have to check on that.

Nope. It's 170X170. Trust me. I always make my avatars that size and no larger to save space. I just think that 200X200 would be a little nicer.

Petrie. · **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2007, 07:34:24 AM

Yep, you're right, I did set it to 170. That's large enough.

Alright then. May I add you to MSN? :3

I agree. I don't seet the need for avatars larger than 170 or 200.

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still recovering, so HELLO! and welcome to the GOF forums. I hope you enjoy your stay here and post your heart out!

I know this is off topic, but what are you recovering from, The Great Valley Guardian?

I had a boil under my arm lanced and then I was forced to stay in an unattentive hospital for five unnessary days! But I'm home now and doing better, however the stitches don't come out until next Tuesday...

But I'm back to also playing video games and talking to you guys so it's not all bad!

Manny Cav · **Reply #33 on:** August 31, 2007, 01:49:47 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're doing better. :^.^:

Alright, let's get back on track.

Malte279 · **Reply #34 on:** August 31, 2007, 02:01:15 PM

I wish you quick, full, and painless recovery! It sure sucks having to stay in hospital. I'm glad that you have that part behind you at least.

Nimrod · **Reply #35 on:** August 31, 2007, 02:13:43 PM

Well, how I begin... . At first, it¥s amazing how near the feelings of you lie by my one. You don¥t must be shamed, that you haven¥t got seen all the films. Before a short time, I hasn¥t got any film. LBTlover loaded them all on my PC. And that was for just one months. So you see, it¥s not bad. And you see I am a big LBT fan, too.

But the really point I postet here, is to wish you a nice welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay here. Have FUN! :^.^: B)

Oh, I am really sorry

I haven¥t read all posts, so I didn¥t know that you were at hospital. I'm glad that you have that part behind you, too
