We should express time relative to whatever it is SAOVQ is set up to use
Where is everyone? ;_;
( ß -ß) Every time we set up a chat time, something happens so I can't make it. I've never made it as of yet. Ah well, theres always next week.
I might catch the second chat.
>>107
It is now on Saturdays at 3:00pm EST. However, I propose we have two chats over he weekend (Sat and Sun) because people seem to be missing the time slot.
I say someone makes a page with a tacky javascript countdown and decorative gifs.
So, 15:00 EST/19:00 GMT/20:00 BST again?
How did the 9:00 EST chat go?
It's a shame we haven't heard from >>113-san recently.
>>117
.ck is $150 for two years. We should take up a collection so we can get hot.vipper.co.ck
I'd be willing to send $50 or so towards such a VIP quality cause.
A fellow VIPPER reported a bug, in which he could not view the page in either Safari or Opera. I, myself, have not been able to recreate this bug. Has anyone else had this problem?
If so, tell me your browser name and version, your OS, and if you are using any kind of extensions or other internet browser enhancing programs, such as download managers or ad-blockers.
It's a meta-chat! Come join and chat about the chat! Why is every chat not very VIP?
>>126
It's hard to VIP in real time, at least for high-latency VIPPERs like me.
>>128
Mental latency follows different rules than network latency, though.
I've given it many chances, but I don't think I will be coming to any more VIP CHATS
I've sat in on a few VIPchat sessions, and they've largely been both poorly-attended and almost totally dominated by silence. I hate to say it, but I don't think they're really working out.
>>134
They've been pretty hit-or-miss, but I'd say the majority of them have been active.
Whether they're VIP or not is certainly questionable, but whether people are talking in them is not.
>>135
Well then, guess there's nothing for it but to give them another shot, although some focus in the chats would be nice. Then again, focus could possibly be defeating the point.
Whether the chats are VIP or not seems to be a bizarre and meaningless question to me, though. How would you even begin to define such a thing?
I think the fact that fellow VIPPERs can meet and chat in realtime is what makes this VIP Quality. That's what it is for me, anyway.
Today's chat was awfully quiet.
Oh I missed yet another one. Sorry.
I missed another one too. I was too busy clubbing. Seals.
if VIPPERs are being quiet, finding nothing to say, perhaps having a topic would help. VIPPERs would be encouraged to stay on topic, and within that boundary the freedom of discussion would flourish. If the topic were announced ahead of time, VIPPERs could plan ahead with quotes, links, comebacks, thoughts, opinions, facts and jokes.
---URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT---
I have been unable to update the chat page or attend the chat, due to familial problems, and wont be able to for another week or so, unless I find time between college and work to go to the library. In essence, when the timer says "7days 0Minutes 0Seconds to VIPCHAT", go to VIPCHAT, and chat.
THIS CONCLUDES THE URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT.
So, how was yesterday's chat? I was unable to make it.
bump
We still have VIP Chats?
>>113-san here,
Actually, I was wondering if anyone wanted to take part in this again.
For those that weren't around during this project , we set a time, where we would have a CHATTING HOUR, once weekly, via IRC.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, and wouldn't mind chatting with my fellow VIPPERs. I constructed a page with a mibbit widget, for those without an IRC application, which has been uploaded here:
http://tinyurl.com/VIPQUALITYCHAT
That being said, would everyone like to partake in the chat again?
Whoops, added # in my name, forgetting that it would give me a tripcode. My apologies, and apolojuice if you wish it.
>>150
As I have been back from COREA for a while and have too much free time, I would like to put forth my support for the revival of the Chat of VIP Quality.
I remember that! How was the trip? You were there for 6 months or so, right?
Just to clarify, #saovq on irc.rizon.net is always there and always VIP. I'm still not particularly sure what makes VIP CHATTING HOUR different, other than perhaps a more VIP pace of conversation than the normal long bouts of silence.
>>154
#saovq is definitely NOT VIP. I have only ever had bad experiences there.
I think a revival would be PRETTY COOL.
if there will be a vip chat tonight, i will be there with bells on
Please, tell us what was so unVIP about your past experience in #SAoVQ
We of the Secret Area appreciate your feedback, and will take you information and use it to try to make the channel a happy fun place for all to VIP in!
>>160
A few people seemed to be very immature and young, and wanted a lot of attention constantly. There were various 4c**n memes talked about, among other things. I'd rather not go into it. It's fine if you enjoy it though, I just have had bad experiences.
I haven't used IRC since I had a VMS account. Actually, now that I think about it, I still have a VMS account, not sure if I remember the login...
I don't like how IRC is basically prog and no one really cares about anything VIP related other than posting AA faces or something. Not very VIP at all.
>>162
I've had him on ignore for awhile, other than one sided conversations at time it's worked pretty well!
Ok, I guess this is where it stands:
2. But we already have #saovq !
That being said, I am making the decision that VIPCHAT Hour will happen, and if you don't wish to participate, cool beans.
Now there is only the issue of the time and day. Sunday chats seemed to work well, but there's the issue of catering to our users in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. What times would fit in with our prospective chatter's schedules?
On a final note:
>>132-san, if you have the logs still, I'd love to get a copy of them, for the online log I spoke of.
Empirical observations suggest the IRC channel is never used for levels of quality that would be worth just, you know, posting on the actual boards, or world4ch /vip/, or /prague/, or some such. So it's an "everything but the boards" kind of channel.
There's also the question of how the heck do you scare VIPPERs off anyhow, too much tanasinn or something
Last time I was never able to join since it always happened to fall on a day that I was working. This time round, I'm currently unemployed, so my schedule is pretty open. The only times I'm unavaiable is when I have my internship on Tuesday/Thursday from 7am to roughly 7pm. These times are EST.
