a 'smiley smile' chat room?

Christ on a cracker.

Skype is huge, proprietary software.

IRC *is* group chat, motherfucker.

IRC has, like, 20 years of reliability backing it up, and its implementations are *enormous.* It's not a single monolithic service, it's a protocol like http.

It is the gold standard of online group chat. I cannot emphasize how vastly superior it is to other things.

You've obviously not experienced huge things.

So? Skype also has the group chat function.

Cares? There is a reason people use Skype and not IRC these days.

Slight correction. Was the gold standard 20 years ago when Skype did not exist. Now IRC is as modern as a mosquito in amber.

It's a shame about the mod problem on SwedishFrog's link. That chat was fun.

It's probably getting desperate by this point, but here's a chatroom I tried making:

May as well give it a shot... no signing up with email is needed. (Don't forget to hit "Enter Chat" in the bottom-right corner once you've signed in; that always used to confuse me)
I think this thing works on mobile.

Interesting idea.  I'd love to know what would happen if we all met in person.  Who'd get punched out first? The funny thing is I went almost 15 years before I met another fan. Then I came on here and discovered BB fans are all arseholes. 

I think there should be fights. We need to fight for success. Honesty is the best policy. You know what I'm talkin' about Mike?...we've had our differences, but you know what I'm talking about... Pinder...you're flatting dear. Get up on the keyboard. Stop screaming and start posting from your heart. Okay, we got it now, let's go.

I have nothing against disagreements. Can't for the world understand why people are so afraid of other people's opinions.

There has to be a place where the room is set up indefinitely without the room owner having to be there 24/7....right?

The chat room I posted works without an admin: http://www.chatzy.com/52678211408317

I'll create a Skype group tomorrow.

YES! IRC channels!

I just created a Smiley Smile Skype group!

The best thing about Skype, besides being the best chat tool out there, is you can download it for your computer, smart phone, surf pad, smart tv and other handheld devices. You can also send files easily.

Download Skype (if you use Windows 8 download the desktop version, not the Windows 8 version)
Add me: swedish-frog
I will then invite you to the group, we have already started the discussions in there

Pretty successful SS chat room

Ooh, and it was the chatroom's anniversary just yesterday. I have to say, it's been a fun year.
