I love you, Jason. People understand that I am all about the show even if my wonky connection wouldn't let me in. I will live to chat another day!

Jason's an FOT hero, people. Be thankful for his work for the group.

Jason's a good guy. He offered me accommodations when I attended the Gathering of the FOTs, for which I am eternally in his debt.

Could you also make it bigger? Because I'm having trouble seeing it.

That's what happens when you win the most bronze medals at the Olympics--the bandwagon starts getting crowded.

Can't get in the chat.  Anyone else?

Is there still a backup one people use?

Oh, so it's not just me!

Everyone's welcome in Chinatown's chat, of course.http://chinatown.speeqe.com/ (http://chinatown.speeqe.com/).  If you want to use your normal FOT names, you can change the one you're assigned automatically by typing /nick [name you want].

 Same here.

To clarify:  to change your name in the alternative chat, type a forward slash (or solidus, if you prefer that term) followed immediately by "nick" (without quotation marks), then a space, then the name you want.

E.g., for me to change my name to Sarah, I would type /nick Sarah.

Why the change from http://fot.speeqe.com/, which is where clicking on "Click here to access the chat" takes us?

Didn't you hear the endearing noise of the vuvuzela on my link?
Title: Re: the chat's still broken, i presume?
Post by: Sarah on June 17, 2010, 12:22:27 PM
Ho.  No.  I did not click on the link.  And had no idea the vuvuzela produces the hornetlike sound my mother was just complaining about to me on the phone (although I did note the coincidence that it was also mentioned during Meghan's show this morning). 

Is soccer hooliganism on the rise?  I can imagine that sound driving people to acts of violence.

Post by: moonshake on June 17, 2010, 01:21:37 PM
Apparently, it only sounds annoying on the TV broadcasts and not in the stadium itself. I've actually grown used to that sound. I hated it the first couple of days.

I'm only a casual fan so I have no idea about your hooliganism question or your suspected link of the vuvuzela to soccer violence.

Yes, but they will be self-inflicted, as attendees repeatedly jam the stick end of pom-poms and flags into their ear holes.

Is anyone successfully getting on the chat to which the "chat" button directs us?
Title: Re: the chat's still broken, i presume?

Is it saying, "You can't access the chat"?

It is for me.

Post by: robertc on July 06, 2010, 09:06:05 PM
I'm getting a log-in screen with "you can't access the chat" in red letters at the bottom, logging in with my forums name and password just brings up the same screen.
Title: Re: the chat's still broken, i presume?
Post by: Sarah on July 06, 2010, 09:06:56 PM
Anyway, there's always speeqe. (http://fot.speeqe.com/)

Oops, sorry, try now.
Also you have to trun off the sounds yourself until i get time to figure it all out.
