Title: Bowl game chat
Post by: Grant - AR on December 16, 2010, 10:34:17 AM
Most of you know that our host disabled the chat service we had set up.  I've looked around and found the following.  Let me know what you think.

Guys, take a look at this and let me know what you think.  I found this site and it looks pretty easy to use.  In order to get to the site I set up, you have to be invited so there shouldn't be the risk of getting uninvited guests (who aren't on here anyway Grin).  Click on the following link and see if you can find any reasons that it won't work for us this year.  It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the previous service, but it might work well enough.

Did you go into the chat room?  I'm in it right now and haven't seen anyone else enter.   ???

Just checked in, looks like it will work just fine.  Thanks Grant!

There are a few of us in there right now and it seems to be working just fine.  If you guys get a chance, jump in there and play around with it a little bit and let us know if you see any problems with it.  I think it will stay up as long as we need it as long as everyone uses the link in the first post. 

I'm sure not everyone will follow this recommendation, but when you guys log in for the bowl games, please use your usernames from here.  That way we all know who we are talking with.  I don't think many of you have much desire to talk football officiating with Barack Obama, Lindsey Lohan, or any of the Jersey Shore cast.   ;D

If you have any questions, please post them here.  :thumbup

Thanks,
Grant

Just depends on which member of the Jersey Shore cast you are talking about.  ;D

Now then, Faith Hill knows a little about football and I think we'd all be willing to chat with her!  nAnA

Works for me.  Then again, I don't know how much I'll be able to chat this year.

Thanks, Grant!
