VIP Quality Chat Club (170)

1 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-01 10:15 [Del]

Hello VIPPERs, let's have a VIP quality chat on some instant messaging program once a week for one hour. I was thinking Sunday at 9:30 PM EST on AIM, but other suggestions are fine too.

This way we can have one hour to hang out with some other VIPPERs and chat without having to sit around forever in IRC to get a chance to half talk to one person. What do you guys think?

I'm assuming because it requires an account and cannot be done entirely spontaneously. I suggest we stick with the original suggestion just for now then we can change after the first meeting if necessary.

Oh ugh, efnet.

23 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-02 21:07 [Del]

>>22
What's wrong with efnet exactly?

24 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 00:20 [Del]

>>23
Half the servers don't work properly, either they don't connect at all or they will drop your connection and reconnect you frequently.

25 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 05:26 [Del]

>>24
What server would be better then?

26 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 06:16 [Del]

Just go with Rizon.
It's hip, it's stable, and it's free.

Rizon wins for being the largest network run by a convicted felon

29 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 14:10 [Del]

Okay this it FOR REAL, ignore the other post:

We'll be meeting on IRC on Rizon (irc.rizon.net) in channel #VIPCLUB at 9:30PM EST every Sunday.
Use http://www.mibbit.com/ if you do not have an IRC client!

I recommend that we only meet there during the allotted time (do not sit and idle there each day, that ruins the purpose). We will meet, talk for an hour or so and then get off. Let's have some fun chatting with VIPPERs!

30 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 14:34 [Del]

>>29
I'm in. That will be my first IRC and I am asocial and so excited.

31 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 14:36 [Del]

I promise that I will do my best to try to remember to attend.

32 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 15:34 [Del]

I promise that I will do my best to be high and slightly drunk when I attend.

33 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 15:55 [Del]

>>32
I will bring a six pack.

34 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-03 19:03 [Del]

I can't promise anything ahead of time, but I will try to be there if possible.

35 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-04 07:20 [Del]

British VIPPER here, I will try my best to stay awake long enough to attend.

36 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 11:41 [Del]

See you guys at 9:30PM EST!

37 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 12:20 [Del]

It's 4:30 AM in GMT+1land. Please pretend I was here.

>>35 here, I hate how college starts tomorrow...
Nevertheless, I shall attend!

40 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 12:42 [Del]

College doesn't start tomorrow in my GMT+1land, but I will sacrifice my night to be there.

41 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 13:52 [Del]

I thought it was 2:30 AM in GMT+1. That's what my phone told me anyway, and it always tells me the right time to watch Japanese TV.

42 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 13:53 [Del]

If you don't like Mibbit, don't want to download IRC, and are using Firefox, do I have good news for you!
Chatzilla.
That is all.

43 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 17:01 [Del]

I have assigned a bot to #VIPCLUB on rizon and registered the channel as well, so no malicious person can take it.

since I always lurk on irc, it is easy for me to lurk there right now as well.

44 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 18:06 [Del]

I'm nervous.

This is worse than the middle school dance at Sacred Heart.

45 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 19:35 [Del]

Awkward-silence and blank-stares have joined the room.

46 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 20:05 [Del]

Making VIPPER friends? I'm not going to modest, the thought had crossed my mind before.

47 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 20:05 [Del]

We've been discussing moving the time back so that European VIPPERs don't have to get up at 4:00 AM to join in.

48 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 20:51 [Del]

>>45
I wish they didn't do all the talking.

49 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 20:54 [Del]

Well it seems like it is over for now. Maybe moving it to Saturday may make it more of a realistic way for more to meet up?
It was fun, VIPPERs, I enjoyed that short time we had.

50 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-06 22:31 [Del]

I meant to come but I fell asleep after watching Kamen Rider W.

I was going to tell you VIPPERs about the guy's totally sweet hat...

51 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-07 10:18 [Del]

I meant to come too, but I got caught up in a game of Soul Blade. I'll do better next time.

52 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-07 10:53 [Del]

>>51>>50

Those are very VIP reasons for missing it, to be fair.

As a European, I would greatly appreciate making the chat earlier. How about 2 hours earlier? I'd be able to make it for at least an hour that way.

53 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-07 10:54 [Del]

I wanted to come, too, but I found myself having a bad case of not being American and sleeping.

54 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-07 14:43 [Del]

>>53
Same here - therefore, I second the idea of moving VIP quality chat to Saturday.

55 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-07 16:28 [Del]

Does everyone agree that a Saturday VIP chat would be easier for other people to join in on?

56 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-07 16:57 [Del]

Saturday, and could it possibly be one hour earlier?

57 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-08 08:13 [Del]

If it is to be arranged for a Saturday, I do not mind when it takes place. However, for those that want it slightly earlier, that is good too.

58 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-08 08:18 [Del]

I would also enjoy a Saturday VIPCLUB meeting. If we move it to Saturday, it could even be during the American day, so as to not ruin our international VIPPER's sleep schedules.

59 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-09 17:34 [Del]

I missed it becuase I had to work. I'm off this Satuday though, so unless something comes up I can be there if we change it to Saturday.

60 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-09 19:30 [Del]

I won't make any promises.

61 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-10 21:28 [Del]

How does Saturday at 12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST/8:00 PM GMT sound for everyone?

62 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-10 21:30 [Del]

(by GMT I mean BST, of course.)

63 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-11 07:13 [Del]

That would work out great for this VIPPER. I have a 4-hour class on Saturday, and get out at 1pm EST, providing the perfect time to VIP in class.

64 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-11 09:13 [Del]

Let's have a chat on Saturday!

65 Name: >>63-kun : 2009-09-11 09:59 [Del]

>63-kun here, and I just want to apologize in advance for my lack of etiquette due to my hangover. Saturday morning is going to be horrible.

66 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-11 13:37 [Del]

Fine for me.

67 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-11 21:20 [Del]

>>61
That will technically be 04:00 here in Corea, but I guess I'll bear with it.

68 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-12 10:56 [Del]

>>67
I'm sorry, VIPPER. It's a shame we have to miss you, but it's difficult to work out a schedule that accommodates European, AMERIKKKAN, and East Asian VIPPERS.

If we are really committed to holding only on chat a week, maybe we should have three rotating chat times so that everybody will have the opportunity to chat at least two weeks out of three.

69 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-12 13:07 [Del]

It is 3PM EST on Saturday, where is everyone? I am alone orz

70 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-12 13:14 [Del]

>>69
I completely forgot, even though I'm the one who suggested the time in the first place.

I'd jump right in, but I have to eat my first meal of the day or I'll die of hunger.

I'll be there to apologize profusely in about 15 minutes.

71 Name: >>63-kun : 2009-09-12 16:18 [Del]

I got back from class and slept, completely missing the VIPchat.
From what I hear, 3pm EST didn't work out too well. Does anyone want to try out another time tomorrow, or wait until next week?

72 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-12 16:18 [Del]

This time I forgot because I was playing Megaman.

I don't even like Megaman. R(`„DL)É

73 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-12 21:32 [Del]

Honestly I was playing Touhou, and didn't realize we had changed it to 3:00pm instead of at night. Sorry...

74 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-13 06:29 [Del]

Oh god I forgot too, I was too busy listening to chiptunes and slowly tidying my room.

Sorry.

>>72

How could you not like Megaman?

75 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-13 11:21 [Del]

I was totally oblivious to the fact that it was Saturday.

76 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-18 20:19 [Del]

Any plans for some VIP QUALITY chatting?

77 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 07:15 [Del]

I'm up for it. I missed all the other chats, but I'm not doing anything tonight, so I'll be able to make it.

78 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 10:03 [Del]

So VIP chat will be TODAY at 3:00PM EST. I believe.

79 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 11:28 [Del]

>>78

I'll be there if you or someone else will.

We must be strong, VIPPERS!

80 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 12:53 [Del]

THATS WHEN I RAID

81 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 14:21 [Del]

That was pretty enjoyable, we got to talk about CURRY.

82 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 14:21 [Del]

Come for the chat, stay for the awkward silences.

83 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-19 23:01 [Del]

It sucks being on COREAN time.

84 Name: VIPER : 2009-09-20 22:38 [Del]

I was hungover again. I feel very un-VIP.

On a related note, when I wear my VIPPER shirt to parties I just get "YOU SPELLED VIPER WRONG"

85 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-21 10:03 [Del]

>>84

Hahaha.

It was a pretty good chat, although since I went to get coffee and ended up talking to my parents about stuff, I missed the last 20 minutes or so.

86 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-21 22:23 [Del]

>>84
I wear my VIPPER shirt on the hopes that someone will recognize it and talk to me.

87 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-24 08:12 [Del]

Do people want to stay with the 3:00 EST time, or do we want to go back to 9:00 EST?

I enjoyed talking with the people who came to both chats, so I don't really feel qualified to choose.

88 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-24 14:30 [Del]

>>86
Me too. Hasn't ever happened yet though.

89 Name: GMT+1-San : 2009-09-24 18:56 [Del]

I like the one that involves me being still awake. Regardless I only managed to catch the first event ;_;

90 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-25 16:28 [Del]

Finally, I will be there this week. What's the time?

91 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 00:21 [Del]

Let's keep the one at 3:00 EST, in the interest of consistency, and then also do one at 9:00 EST (both this Saturday) to see how that works.

(I know having two kind of goes against the "once a week" thing, but my heart bleeds for KOREA-SAN.)

92 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 04:16 [Del]

How about expressing these times relative to UTC. American timezones give me headaches.

93 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 08:26 [Del]

>>92

19:00 UTC today and 1:00 UTC tomorrow.

That's 12:00 PST and 6:00 PST today.

94 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 10:10 [Del]

>>93
Wait, what?
EST is GMT-5, and 3:00 + 5 is 8:00 (or 20, not 19). This is making me mad.

95 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 10:12 [Del]

>>94
s/GMT/UTC/g, for clarity's sake.

96 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 10:53 [Del]

EST areas are currently on daylight saving time, so it's UTC-4, although if you're in the UK it's still 20:00 for you because we're in daylight saving as well.

I think. Daylight saving is evil and was probably invented by JEWS.

97 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 11:38 [Del]

>>96

That's why I didn't want to do the conversion in the first place. Wikipedia doesn't even make it clear whether Europeans use daylight saving/summer time or if it's just a cruel joke they play on Americans who are trying to convert between time zones between April and October.

98 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 11:40 [Del]

But, yeah, 12:00 PST/15:00 EST/19:00 UTC/20:00 in the UK for the first one, 6:00 PST/9:00 EST/1:00 UTC/2:00 UK time for the second one.

99 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 13:35 [Del]

I can't join chat through my phone because my ip is blacklisted and my older brother takes my place at the computer whenever he pleases ;_;.

100 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 13:51 [Del]

>>99
I'm sorry dear VIPPER ;_;

101 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 17:29 [Del]

We should express time relative to whatever it is SAOVQ is set up to use

102 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 19:07 [Del]

Where is everyone? ;_;

103 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 20:06 [Del]

( 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.

104 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 20:14 [Del]

>>102
I was playing Street Fighter IV.

105 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-26 21:27 [Del]

I might catch the second chat.

106 Post deleted by user.

107 Name: >>105-san : 2009-09-27 19:02 [Del]

The chat is on EST Sundays, correct?

108 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-27 19:27 [Del]

>>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.

109 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-27 19:44 [Del]

I was confused by all of this talk of timezones and such. 3pm may be possible.

110 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-28 01:11 [Del]

I say someone makes a page with a tacky javascript countdown and decorative gifs.

111 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-28 11:00 [Del]

>>110
We'll save bandwidth by hotlinking everything

113 Name: VIPPER : 2009-09-28 13:59 [Del]

>>110
I'll work on it.
>>111
Yes.

114 Name: >>113-san : 2009-09-28 14:26 [Del]

OK, page is about done, but I cannot figure out how to make the countdown restart when it hits the specified time (eg. When it hits chat time, I want ti to reset to the net week's chat time.)
Any ideas, or does a fellow VIPPER want to construct a new countdown.js for me?

115 Name: >>113 : 2009-09-28 19:19 [Del]

Ok, so far I have a psued0ch styled layout, hotlinked the background image, favicon and banner rotate.php from SAoVQ, grabbed the same counter, added a mibbit IRC widget, and am working on alternate stylesheets, as well as the footer. Is there anything else you would like to add? A RSS feed? An iframe to this thread?

116 Name: VIPPER : 2009-10-02 12:52 [Del]

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 Name: >>113-san : 2009-10-02 20:33 [Del]

Still lacking a working weekly countdown. I could just reset the countdown time every week, or write my own countdown timer, but I lack motivation.

Also, where should it be hosted? I lack money for domain registration, so is a ".co.nr" domain fine?

I should be done with the alternate stylesheets tonight, and the footer is done. What else do my fellow VIPPERS want to see on here?

118 Name: VIPPER : 2009-10-02 20:56 [Del]

>>117
.ck is $150 for two years. We should take up a collection so we can get hot.vipper.co.ck

119 Name: >>113-san : 2009-10-02 23:43 [Del]

>>118
I can't donate anything to this currently nonexistent fund for another month or two, but that is the best idea I've ever heard. We could host all of our projects on that domain, WITH DIRECTORIES FOR EACH PROJECT.

I offer appolojuice in advance for my next non-VIP sentence.

FUND IT

120 Name: VIPPER : 2009-10-03 03:10 [Del]

I'd be willing to send $50 or so towards such a VIP quality cause.
