<p>maybe we should make an AIM chat and keep it up cuz this forums kind of slow. So if u wanna join, just invite yourself to "college confidential"!</p>
<p>=] Sweetness Glue. x] Except I have AIM that won't allow me to create my own chatroom with those words. >/// Only numbers. Stupid AIM! X] Invite me! Heheheh gtg! ;D Later!</p>
<p>I have a better idea. I think CC should have an IRC channel. The forums are great for some things such as debates and long posts, but a chat room is an easier way to communicate quickly. It would be nice if one of the mods would go on Quakenet or some other IRC server and start up a few college focused channels.</p>
<p>IRC sux though. I cant ever seem to get it to work on my comp for some reason. Ive been staying in the aim chat a bit, but since im working on an english paper, i didnt notice anyone go in so everyone left after a while.</p>
<p>An IRC channel will stay open forever. You cannot say it sucks when hundreds of thousands of people use it world wide! I'm sure if they went the IRC route they'd use a nice web client for ease of use purposes. IRC is simple and gets the job done. I use it everyday :)</p>
<p>Do you have to pay for IRC? I personally have never used it.</p>
<p>IRC is free =) You simply install mirc which can be downloaded at [URL="<a href="http://www.mirc.com%22%5DmIRC%5B/URL">http://www.mirc.com"]mIRC[/URL</a>] Then fill in the inital information. Then to connect to a server you would use /server irc.quakenet.org and then to join a channel /j #collegeconfidential for example. Then chat away!</p>
<p>no one is in the chat now :(</p>
<p>Im burnsk8er. Invite me!</p>
<p>If you have AIM already you can join the chat through this link. Chat To use the link to join the chat you must be using Internet Explorer. The link didn't work for me in Firefox.</p>
<p>That link doesn't work. Until we figure out how to make a working one, just click the chat icon and invite yourself to chat "collegeconfidential."</p>
<p>aim:GoChat?RoomName=collegeconfidential</p>
<p>Copy/Paste that into your address bar and it will open up the chat automatically</p>

</p>
<p>Note: It will only open if you are signed on AIM</p>
<p>Yeah, the stupid link I made automatically puts http:// which adds a '/' before the '?' >_< Kinda stupid I think.</p>
<p>fevoldj2, just IM yourself (to your own screename) "aim:GoChat?RoomName=college+confidential" and then click the link, it will automatically put you in the ChatRoom.</p>
<p>Um.. I know how to do it. I'm just curious as to why the forum screws up my link :( It thinks it knows what's best :P</p>
<p>Okay, just making sure =D</p>
<p>join kids, it's fun :)</p>
<p>Yeah come to the chat!</p>
