For simplicity's sake - no, there is no serverside code there at all. It's all done from a linked JavaScript file I knocked together. Feel free to copy/steal it, it's not exactly anything ground-breaking. Now to migrate one of the chat servers to a new (better) home ... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

No need TDC - Bynw beat you to it ;) I have put a chat page that links to the channel #dnd3e up on the otherworlders.org website. It is not a Java client, but a rather nice Mibbit-powered one. The URL is: http://otherworlders.org/chat/enworld/ For MM (and I guess anyone else that wants to...

/me re-iterates Seri's gesture :D Congrats guys!

Nah, I've had this nick for years now, and I doubt I'd ever change it, even though I haven't actually played Vampire in over 7 years (nor am I interested in playing anymore). This nickname has grown on me over the last 10 years ... I couldn't change it if I wanted!

[wot? ToreadorVampire actually posting on ENWorld?!] In short, I think alignment as-is is overused. Here's what I would like (in my ideal game system): Average sentient creatures are *all* unaligned. This means that whilst they may act a bit evil, or a bit goodly, or whatever, their...

Edit: I have noticed that my pimp-to-information ratio is rather high in this post, fair warning! I think that's the concensus, and allow me to pimp www.mibbit.com again as that interface, it's seriously cool as web-based IRC interfaces go. Indeedy, it's nothing for us network admins to add...

As crazy as it sounds, that information is readily available! xmanii generates weekly chat stats, and also did some annual chatstats for 2007. So ... http://calandyr.com/dnd/dnd3e.2007.html is the 2007 period, and weekly stats are all indexed on http://www.calandyr.com/dnd/mircstats.html So...

Just FYI I have pre-registered the #enworld name on otherworlders.org in case you'd like to use it. I see myself as a fairly neutral party in this process, since I'm not, nor have been, nor am interested in being a #dnd3e channel op. I remember there was some confusion/funny transition...

The first part of that is easy: A Mibbit embedded client is just plain HTML that can be poked on any web page. All it requires to run is Javascript support. "Here's one I made earlier" for the dumpshock.com chat: http://toreadorvampire.co.uk/dumpshock/ It's very minimal by design, since I'd...

Sure - here's one I made earlier: http://ksl.dev.craigfowler.me.uk/who/chat/ - NOTE - this is intentionally broken at the moment while we transition to WebIRC - you will recieve "connection terminated" messages from any Mibbit client used to connect to Otherworlders.org until all of our configs...

Mibbit? Indeed, that Java client is a little old. Might I suggest Mibbit.com as an alternative client, embedded into a page. It does not use Java at all, and works through JavaScript/AJAX. We already have an authorised connection from the Mibbit embedded client to Otherworlders.org, and...

OK, all things sound cool... Firstly (in my defence): STORTFORD IS NOT IN ESSEX!!! Sorry - but if you live in the UK you will understand how much 'not being an Essex boy' means to me :) Traffic is not really a problem these days... Liquide> You have a spot in the game on Sunday the 19th -...

Location in UK OK, the town is named Bishop's Stortford - it is not the first station from the Airport, it is the second, the first being Stansted Mountfitchet, but that's a tiny village station, and the Stansted Express train doesn't stop there! It is indeed a bit North of London... I...
