RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 23, 2016 It's kind of impossible to chat right now, because as soon as the chat finally loads for somebody, the other person has left. Hopefully folks won't give up so easily on New Year's Eve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted December 24, 2016 Nah radguy, its fucked. Hopefully when Paul turns on the swear filter at Xmas, he'll do the same with 'chat'. Turned off both, so if one comes on, the other may too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully folks won't give up so easily on New Year's Eve. It sort of amazes me that the chat room always is completely packed around midnight on New Year's Eve. Luckily for me, Britain is an hour behind so I usually have a whole hour for fireworx/celebrations before the new list is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, ha ha, my family moves around a lot. Parents came from Poland to the US (Chicago) in the '80s. Me and my sister were born here. When I was in middle school they took us to Poland for some years. And a year and a half ago we moved back to the US. If you can't remember this, it's fine, most of my friends still ask "wait, where were you born again?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted December 27, 2016 I've been trying to log in for weeks. I reckon it's fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,477 Posted December 27, 2016 Ah, I see what you mean Paul. Three people in the chat, but only one person showing up in the chat. Although currently I can see The Dead Cow in the chat too, but couldn't get a message across. Which suggests whatever the fuck is up, its fixable? "Please wait while we load the chatroom..." - this anything to do with it? It used to load right into the conversation, now it just waits till you type.

msc 18,477 Posted December 27, 2016 Right, I'm not very techy, as I've no doubt mentioned before, but... have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? That's what I do. And when it doesn't work, I swear and find a different version of the thing. Or ask a techy to fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,977 Posted December 27, 2016 Wonder if at least we can find a "bomb shelter" chat room on a diff site to use for the annual New Year's convo (ie the one time most of us crop up)? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a chatting website I use called xat.com I can always set up a Deathlist chat on there. Oh wow, that site's still going? I used it myself around 2010. A clunky mess of a site, admittedly, but it makes me nostalgic nonetheless. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This won't change in IPS4 either I'm afraid. Perhaps your host could add an exception for the servers IP.Chat needs to connect to? Our support team can provide those addresses if it is helpful.

Deathray 2,940 Posted December 31, 2016 I did check it. It took 3 mins to load here and no one else was in there when it opened up. Wtf? I haven't left the room and no activity has been logged at all while i've been in there for the past 5 minutes. So you RG, it might be worth setting that back up chat for the annual new years natter.

Rocky and I whilst conversing on PM tried this the other day. We were both logged as in the chatroom but we could only see our own posts and not each other's. Read my post at the top of this page to see what I think the problem is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
