A few words from GreyGoose (and a poll)
« on: April 17, 2007, 01:26:20 PM »
Greetings members

I haven't posted here in awhile because I've been dealing with some pretty serious health (and other) issues for the last few months (and still am). It has not been fun to say the least but I'm here once again (or what's left of me) to share a few things and to hopefully get some serious member input.

The first thing I would like to say is that I am thinking about bringing back the Flash chat room but before I do, I would like to get some input via the poll here and see what other members think about it. If I did bring the Flash chat room back, I would upgrade it to the latest version and remove the "Alice_the_nanobot" feature. Also, I would use a generic template so that we don't have issues with confusing mix-matched colors and fonts or I would set it up so that only one template/font was available and everyone would need to use it. I might also disable all of the sounds so that in the end, it would be a nice quiet chat room with pleasant, easy to read colors and fonts and no "Alice" to insult people and say off-the-wall things.

Please let me know what you, the members think via the poll and thank you for your contribution!.

- Regards, GreyGoose

I really like the layout of the old chat room for a few reasons.  One is because of the light bright white background, Two because the avatars are fun and we mes around changing them according to our mood (sometimes everybody has the paperbag over head one on lol), Three the sound effects that you can send with your chat message are fun as are the smillies although it would be great to have some more.  Four, when you open the box up to start private chatting with someone its a nice big size whereas on the new chatroom it was a tiny thing.  And last but not least it has the facility to look back at the chat log to catch up on the convo or who has been in.

If the new modified chat room was the old one but better (if you know what I mean lol)  it would be great.

Thats my tuppence worth I dont know if anyone else agrees with me.

I echo Gloomy's thoughts.

If the new room could be like the old one but enhanced that would be great - a white background is a must for screens you look at for any period of time.

However, a good new feature would be the ability to upload files, e.g. documents, images, etc to share with chat room colleagues, ie. chat room people click on a link to download a file from your PC whilst you are on-line. Dont know if this is possible but you can do it in 0276/0278 0372, etc. That type of effect.

I think avatars that are pertinent to the range of emotions us anxiety sufferers feel would be great.

Not much to wish for eh?

thanks
King

Hi Gloomy

Visit the thread below and scroll down to where it says "IMPORTANT NOTICE", follow the instructions for clearing your Flash cache and everything should be back to normal again. Thanks again for your valuable input, King's input and everyone else who made suggestions :)
