Last night, fritzkrieg, starkid, and I were in the chat room talking, and we wondered how come we don't ever have scheduled chats, specifically for customizing.
The boards can be great for long time period stuff but talking in real time has some great advantages to it. So everyone toss out days and times that work and we'll make this happen once a week. ;)

and
Fritz?? (you still want to do this buddy?)

For me, I jump on AIM when I can. Usually at night when I'm online I'm also working on photonovels, and when I'm on AIM, it draws my photo program to a crawl... but I'll try to be on more. I don't really have specific times when I know I can be on though.
:)
-
I could go for a weekly chat...do you mean JD's chat room or AIM?
-
JD if possible
-
JD sounds good...
-
I've not used JD's chat feature and I never bothered to get AIM reinstalled in my PC. I don't like all the spyware and crap that comes with the AIM (and MSN) installations.
I'd be game for trying to stop into the chats from time to time - however, they would probably just take away from my customs time. :)
-
I could go for one, what times?
-
well when we get enough response and days and times that work for people well go ahead and schedule the first one. But for the record I'm thinking every Saturday, that way non of us have school or work. :) but times I have no Idea we just hjave to see what works for everyone.
-
i gonna be on all day
-
good for you chase ;)
-
Saturdays bad for me. Mon night say nineish would be ok, Thursday night would be ok to.

I was asked to chat earlier apparantly. It must have happened just after I logged off earlier. I dont have an AIM but i'd be more than happy to chat. I usually get home from work after 5:00 eastern time. I'm usually free about then. Let me know I'll rap with ya'll. ;D

Anyway, The days that have been proposed are the following: Saturday nights, Monday nights, or Thursday nights. I'll keep this open to suggestions till the end of the week, then we can all vote on what day and times. :)

Hold on, back up, rewind. How is it you can't type a full sentence out before hand, but after I post that, you become Smarty, the magical finger having forum member? Somthing smells fishy.

Umm.... 'cause you already hate my guts, and I decided to take my time, and improve on my typing skills and watching my grammar, and spelling. :-\
Obviously, If you don't have anything to contribute except bashing people in this thread than stay out of it. If you want to be involved in our weekly chat then feel free to give me or fritz a day(s) that work for you and we'll be sure to add it to the list. :-*

I'm game for Thursday or Monday nights...I usually do other things on Saturdays and weekends.

Same here.

Hmm well, we will let this thing run a few days longer, (as I said above) just to get a few more replys. ;)
-
Im game for just about every weeknight. Let me know when and where.
-
I'm a former organizer of the chats at JPToys.com where I moderate, so I'll contribute to your cause here.
Pick a night, such as Saturday Night, give a weeks worth of notice (Such as July 24th) and then give a decent time, such as 9:00 pm (EST) and then let everyone know where to meet up (JediDefender.com Chat Room) and tell them to log in under their respective usernames.
Then whence everyone has said their hello's, toss out a topic and roll from there. Makes life a hell of a lot easier than having multiple chat times during the week with only one or two people at a time. This way the whole load of us can try and group together and spread our input. Just because DN can't make it this saturday doesn't mean he can't next, or that CHEWIE couldn't make it next saturday, but this one. As it becomes more routine, you'll see more people join in and it will smooth out.
There, I helped.
Kevin
-
Good job helping Kevo.
:)
-
Thanks, that helps a bunch Kev. :-*
So, as Kevvo suggested lets do this if you guys want on Saturday nights (this is the most accesbile time for everyone, and the most plausible date as Kev said above, also Hemish wants to get involved to. The first could be next week, or if you guys all want tonight :o, but that might be stretching it... alot :-\. If any of you guys do want to do Chat #1 tonight, just pop on in @ 9:00 PM EST.
-
I'd be glad to stop in whatever day people decide on, at least for a bit (and at least during the summer) -- I'll keep checking this thread for that.
And Smarty, your typing has indeed come a long way. Keep up the good work. :)

Just got home from the Cardinals game, sorry I missed this chat.
:)
-
Nuthin you really missed, just me and smarty came. BTW, good Cardinals game, eh?
-
So we have a date and time: 9:00 EST, Saturday June 24th.
So, is this going to be on Saturday every week, or will it change?
-
I think we will try and keep it the same each week, but if its apparent that alot of us cannot make it, we'll change it up for a week.

That's where your going wrong. Keep it the same day, and if a few can only make it, so be it. It's consistancy and quality controll. Maybe on a holiday weekend when everyone has like, the Monday or Friday off, then you could add an EXTRA day for the chat that weekend.
Kevin
-
Well, since you know alot about this kind of stuff, then I guess Saturday @ 9 every week will be how it is. Hope to see you all there next week.
-
You should update the thread with a title reflecting the time and date, so maybe some more casual readers might hop in and share some thoughts.
Kevin
-
Will do.
-
As an FYI, I will be busy the next few Saturday nights.
:)
-
:'( that makes me sad.
smarty

This is good news to have a chat and really get to know you guys. I haven't posted in my customs thread in a long while and I feel like I've distanced myself by not posting or being as involved in the community. This way, I can be as active as I can once I go on the chatroom.
-
OK everyone Tonight is the night. Remember 9 EST is the time of the chat.
Tonights main discussion will be Master Phruby's UGP. AFter this weeks, we'll split the 2 chats up to different days or different times.
Hope to see you there tonight.
Adam
-
I just realized I probably won't be able to make it tonight. Sorry :(.
-
Thats cool, try your best, and if you can't make it oh well, we'll be having plenty more. ;D
-
Unfortunatly,
saturday nights are going to be tough for me aswell.
Mabey, next saturday I may have a little time, I can't commit to that unfortunaly.
Sorry.
-
I can't make it either. Reading through the thread, I've seen a lot more people say they'd like these chats to happen on weeknights than on Saturday nights, so I'm not sure how Saturday managed to be chosen for the chat date.
-
Saturday isn't the best choice, I agree. However, I'm free this saturday night so I'll be there.
PS: Is anyone else watching The Ultimate Fighter season finale today?
-
Ok, well tonight is the first one since thats what Paul has been counting on. I know that we are going to change the UGP chat to a weekday, so I don't see why the custom one can't be changed either. I know mondays and thursdays were days people suggested. So we'll put these 2 on those days, we'll figure it out tonight.
Adam
-
Hey guys, umm my dad is making me go to church tonight becasue we have stuff to do tommorrow. So depending on when i get back I may or may not be there when it starts. :-\ Sorry
Adam
-
I'll be thaere.
-
Im on look 4 me. its channel UGP.
-
Sorry guys, I just got home. I was pretty much forced to work a double shift tonight. You have no idea how pissed I am because of it. >:(
Weeknights will probably be better for me. A resturaunt job is unfortunately a week end job.
-
were still talkin now DE. come.
-
How do I get there???
-
Go to the chat option on the front page of JD
-
Ok so this coming week, How bout we move the custom chat to Mondays at 9EST
and the UGP chat to Thursday @ 9EST.
These were the 2 days that people said worked best for them. Also With the UGP Chat being on a Thursday, I can assemble all the info From the UGP Chat and put it in our Newsletter. So I guess I'll see some of you This monday Night, and some of you guys on thursday night.
Smarty.
-
Borrowing unfortunate work related drama I should be able to make both of them.
-
can't make either.
-
I should be good for both.
-
9est is tough for me b/c that is right when we are putting the kids to bed. If I can pop in I will but its unlikely on a regular basis.
-
Reminder: There is a Weekly Custom Chat tonight at 9:00 EST.
-
EDIT: Come on anyone who is online join the chat :)
-
The chat is going on right now? Where I went to the JD one but nothing would load up. Thanks
roron corobb
-
No, we all disbanded at 10:45 EST. I'll be back on in 20 mis.
-
im still there
-
Is there a chat tonight?
-
yes
same time each week. Custom chat is monday at 9EST. Do I have to do reminders?? ;) :P
-
Ooooo, cool, I'll try to join in the chat.
-
Just checking, I'll be there.
-
I might not be there for the first 30 minutes I have to mow the lawn.
-
Ill most probably be there.
-
Hey guys!
Please edit the title of this thread to Monday night weekly chat, so the rest of us know what night of the week its on. I could have made this evening chat if I knew of it.
Thanks,
Fritzkrieg

I second that. I never knew it was on mondays now
-
I could have been there too.
-
I was there for the second time ever and both times someone either sent me a pm or bumped this thread and i happened to be on the computer when they did. lol.
-
Figured I'd bump this up.
-
Question, is there something wrong with the chat room? The last two times I tried to joint in the page wouldn't load up. I was wondering if it is just me? Thanks
roron corobb
-
Ill Probably be at this one too.
-
its about 8:20 or so right now if anyone wants to start the chat early I ve got one set up.
-
I still can get the page to load. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
roron corobb
-
Crap, I missed it. Oh well, at least I got to play golf and football :).
-
You didn't miss much. We were mostly just shooting the crap.it pretty much ended about 10. Don't forget about thursday. ;)
-
I won't, There's also a reminder in the newsletter. And while we're on the topic, what did you guys think of the newsletter?
-
I still haven't gotten my newsletter yet...
-
Anybody feel like a chat tonight?
-
I missed it again I guess... :( I freaking always miss the chat. Can someone like message me the night of the chat from now on?
EDIT: I mean I know when the chats are but like Thursday night if someone would PM me to remind me that'd be great.
-
Sure thing, the UGP is more important anyway, so if you miss the custom one its ok. I rarely make mondays, because Golf for my school is coming up, and I dont want to get booted. ;)
-
I can't believe I missed last night's chat... damn! >:(
:)
-
I'll be there tonight!
6PM PST!
-
im there waiting
-
Can't seem to connect on Internet Explorer. I'm trying Mozilla Firefox to see if I can get in now.
-
