Chat Night
« on: August 29, 2006, 04:27:25 PM »
I was hoping to put together a chat night in the anxietyzone chat room.  I will make plans to be in the chat room tonight at 9:00 pm central.  If you plan on attending tonight please respond.

Hi crazystress

Great idea!. I was thinking exactly the same thing except that I have been extremely busy today and could not seem to find the time to post an announcement but what the heck. Let's do it. I will even place a link to this thread in the Announcements forum (and in the Calendar) so that everyone will see it.

Dear Anxiety Zone Members...

A lot of people have mentioned that they would like to be able to chat with other members so here's your opportunity. On August 29, 2006 at 9:00PM (GMT) there will be an informal chat about whatever you want to talk about. The chat room will remain open 24/7 as it always has but at least maybe enough members will see this post so that they will know to show up. Come join us! :happy0151:

- Regards, GreyGoose

I would like to join the chat, although I am a little anxious about it. I do have a bit of social anxiety, and I don't know anybody here very well yet.
Also, what is GMT in relation to EST? The second is my time zone.

It takes two to argue, but only one to be right.

Hi Apple

Yikes, your absolutely right Apple. I'm not quite sure what we are going to do about time zones. There are members here from a lot of different states, provinces and countries and I'm not sure what time zones they are all in or even how to obtain that information in a user-friendly format so that everyone shows up at the correct time. Perhaps this is one of the reasons no one has been showing up for scheduled chats...because even though everyone was showing up at the right time, they were actually showing up at the "wrong time".

UPDATE:

I've been looking around and this might be a good solution (I deleted the old link - this one looks much more user-friendly)...

Upon further inspection, I'm afraid that this time zone convertor is really not going to be able to serve our needs. This chat thing has become a real drag on all of us and is something that will need to be dealt with one way or another.

Apple -

I *believe* when it is 9:00PM here (in Florida, U.S.) that it will be 3:00AM there (in Alberta Canada). Of course, I'm probably way off. I am still looking for more user-friendly time zone convertor...

When we enter this forum, we can see the date and time in the upper left.
I suppose it is your (GreyGoose´s) local time.
Maybe you could set the chat time by this time.
I always check your local time when I log in, I guess most people do it too.
