Re: Looking For JRO!

Ooooh! What a nice long troll post! With my name all over it! And it
rhymes too!   :-)

Too bad you seem to have misunderstood something.

You don't have to, so what's the problem? It's not like I'm going
around *forcing* people to chat.

Well, it *is* on my homepage so of course I get to set the rules for it
(duh!).

"the same"? As what? It is what it is and doesn't try to be "the same"
as anything else.

And further, you seem to have misunderstood what my chat is all *about*.
Lets see... Once upon a time, in the land of ascii, somebody requested
a chat. Lots of people were enthusiastic and quickly chat rooms
dedicated to ascii art popped up all over the net. There were at least
a dozen of them, of very varying quality. People went to this chat and
that chat and soon everybody who wanted to chat had found a place to
chat. Um, that's it.

My chat was one of those twelve. If you don't like it, well, go to one
of the others... (of course, that was a couple of years ago so some of
them may not exist any more, but then there might be other new ones that
you could use instead)

Here are the fragments of that original chat discussion that I have kept
(if Deja hadn't gone and closed down their archive I would have dug up
the original thread and posted the link here)

That's two (of which the first only says "192.31.7.244: -Sprout:  I'z
back", just like it did two days ago).

And a third.

And a fourth (<learning resistance>I guess I really have to learn this
IRC stuff</learning resistance>).

And here's a fifth:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/

(It doesn't require anything fancier than a browser. Older browsers
won't be able to see the text colours, but the text should still be
_readable_ and any ascii pictures should come through just fine. I just
checked it in xmosaic 2.7b2, which is an *old* browser, and it works
quite well there)


VK

-------------------------


Anyways...I like IRCNet much better...
There's no services there, but then again...who needs them? :o)
I made #Cyberfriends there for about 2 1/2 years ago...and it has
becomed kinda big... :o)

Anyways...I made #Asciiart on IRCNet too...for those who wants to
visit... :o)

And if I'm not there, just ask in #Cyberfriends...cause if I am online
I'm definitly in there :o)

(Veronika: 6th <G> ;o)

-> From: vjo...@sci.fi (Ville Jouppi)
-> Why don't we make an "#ascii-art" -channel in IrcNet? Irc is a lot
-> better than any web based chat can ever hope to be. I could maybe
-> supply a bot to help keep order.
Check out these IRC channels on the undernet:
#mirc_rainbow
#mirc_rainbow2
#mirc_colors
#popinn
#ascii

They all use the great ASCII art found in here, and created
by their own artists! They are a talented lot!'

It`s ActiveX and VBScript <g>

I will try and do it properly soon, using Java and JavaScript.
