[worldtop]

here
click on this link, will pop up a chat window
you need to enable javascript for it..........
just a fun thing:)

you can bookmark the above link and run it directly
this will make it work like IMs

uhm... wonder if two people will ever be online at the same time xD

It works, tested it with Mort.

So yeah it is attached to the mtguide forum. If you see me logged in mtguide I should have this chat feature on too.

You need to make a gabby account to make your ID exclusive. It just asks for your email and a confirmation. You login through the chat window (arrow into door).

My ID is BlackMagister.

Gabby is currently down for this site. If someone could make a new one for this site that would be great, even though only a few people have actually used Gabby it's still a nice option.

Thx for reporting this!
It's weird that the Gabby's site is on, but the forum chat room is down.

It's a free service, so I don't think we can complain it to Gabby. XD
Just give it a couple more hours and see how it goes.

If it doesn't come back tomorrow, I will try to find a replacement

Cheers!

I tried going on gabby.com but it won't load so I think it's just a problem with Gabby. Might need a new chat program or just resort to everyone giving out their MSN.

I have a msn [e-mail], but don't use too often. Though feel free to msg and add me.

Sorry Black, the site is now called Gabbly.com.
However I cant get any URL to work now............

Please try the following link, type your username(anything), then click "connect/OK/whatever the button says", see if you can get in a chat room
test
the original website is here
#update1
Ok, it doesnt work on my FireFox, but it works in my IE
I appreciate any firefox user on the forum to confirm this for me!
THX
#update2
If Mort or Black doesn't like the color/format of the testing chat room above, you can go to the original website to create a new chat room then do some(limited) modification to make it prettier.
After you done, just post the final URL here!
THX

Yeah it doesn't work with FireFox but does work with IE. Though while it does work it doesn't show mtguide in the background like gabby used to.

I'm going to have to say it's probably better to use msn because it's not like many people logged into Gabby even with my news header.

I KNOW PEOPLE WERE ONLINE BUT THEY DIDN'T LOGIN TO CHAT! THIS MAKES ME SAD!

[worldtop]

LOL, they are too shy to take the first step I am afraid XD
I dont think many ppl even notice the banner!

My original idea of using the webChat is I am not a big fan of MS products, and I think it's more convenient for ppl to chat while you are browsing the same webpage without switching(alt+tab) out to another window.

Anyway, it's just my little experiment
the other thing I suggest is google chat, cause almost everyone has a google account ?
Just a thought XD
(we can even try google wave, i can invite ppl now!)
what is google wave, please google it, cause google does a better explaining it than I ;p

[worldtop]

How about twitter? or plurk?
It's not real time but I dont know, ppl using it, it's a trend............XD

[BlackMagister]

I don't see it happening.

I have a gmail account which I guess could be used for google chat, but I don't use google chat.

Never heard of plurk, but no way am I going to use twitter and I don't see how it would help with communication more so than forum posts.

Just post your msn here worldtop (and anyone else) if you want to talk to me, its the only instant messenger I'm going to be using really.
