I wouldn't know there, that would definitely be beyond my expertise.

I suppose maybe Blah could be replaced with an Eggdrop bot, but that too is outside my realm of knowledge.

So, is the chat room offically shut down now? That is sad, at one time I know it was real fun to be in there. Fun listening to 2 cutters trying to convince it was OK and safe. And we all blew them off and laughed. times changed.. It appears the chat room is doomed now. It's a different world for sure. Part of life now is being politically correct. What a laugh but it does hold merit today.

It's still there, but it needs a person to run and manage it. Being politically correct has nothing to do with its pending shut down.

Hiya,

I can't let it close, just wish i could be castrated before I ran it but can;t have it all I guess.

I have a 100mb Broadband and a public IP address, can it run on a laptop or will it to be rund on a server ?

Thanks

Darryl

Technically, you probably could run the software on a laptop, however those aren't necessarily meant to be running 24/7.

I think I can host it. (Now trying to install and configure UnrealIRCd)

Good day i'm willing to host the chat room and did sent you a mail last night

Nice job fhunter!

Most chatters don't even notice I guess
