If I take the time

If I take the time to make chat room for people to shoot the shit would some of you actually log on once in a while and say some stupidity, or will I just be wasting my time?

So far Tinto told me that we already have a yahoo chat but I'm still looking for it.


I've messaged a few people on what type they would prefer and not surprisingly the Canadians and Brits use MSN messenger while the Americans use Yahoo messenger.

Should I bother? I think it would be fun as long as people keep it cool with no insults.

Dunno if it is the yahoo chat But about 6 - 8 weeks ago I stumbed into a chatroom with UTC and someone else from PBH (elmo? lpdiver? can't remember). I've looked for it since but haven't found it again (don't think it was Yahoo), and silly me didn't bookmark it.

Personally for me, between bloggers I keeps tabs on, occasional checks and posts of the LP:TT, PBH is about all I can handle timewise for active posting..

BUT am sure that many of the PBH boys would *love* to spend time on any chat you make.

paste this link in your browser and it should sign you in. Keep it clean. If you dont agree with someone there is no need for name calling or swearing. Just tell them why you disagree and explain why.

Talk about muffs, short men, hot women, and stupidy is encouraged.

Plenty of people wander the internet with my handle and they are not me. I never go into chat rooms of any sort. We might be persuaded to chat with the right incentives but somehow, I doubt they will be forthcoming.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

sylvie, please stop talking about muffs!! You said you want to keep it clean and look how you start out. Anyway, I went there but I had a problem in that it said it did not recognize me as a member. If I am an American member, do I have to sign in with Canada's yahoo too??

Yea....UTC, I could not figure it out either How did it know my PBH hotmail? Sylvie what mischief are you cooking up?

If you paste the link into your browser, Yahoo tries to see if you are already a member, which you aren't. Of course it doesn't give you a chance to become a member either. You have to go to the url and erase everything that comes after the word "join" and refresh the page. This brings up a page that gives you a chance to join. So I joined. G'man, it's too much work for a chick, dude.

I think there was a chatroom called Guayabo, I remembered talking to Desi there.

kat1 (Moderator) says on Aug 9, 2005, 02:58:

Guayabo was in yahoo. and I agree with GIB I find yahoo chatrooms a pain in the neck to sign in and afterwards I can't remember how to get there again.. I prefer my MSN Messenger, I had been talking with some pbh members there, when I got the time ;-).

hmmm, when I made it I spedified that everyone could join.

Let me look into it.

Kat, I also agree that MSN is better but most aamericans don't use MSN. It's typically only Canadians and Europeans who use MSN. :-(

You're welcome. BTW, I think the whole thing is very confusing! And I don't know where they get the idea we don't use MSN. Whatever.

You add a profile with your PBH name to your existing Yahoo acc ...and you can use it to join.

I did, logged in, then had to close it in a hurry 'cuz my boss wouldn't like that picture (even though I did).

Irc-channels Anybody know any irc channels for Colombia-related issues? What network if so?

Would it be to set up a channel?
