Chat Room and My Departure

Post by Shadowpaw »

Everyone,

For many months, the members of this board have requested a chatroom... finally, after all this time, Tim Peterson has worked his magic once again and has provided us all with one :). To access the chatroom, go the Town of Odyssey Mainpage and click on the "Town of Odyssey Chat" link located at the top left. This will open up a new window and load up a java based Town of Odyssey Chatroom. This chatroom is exactly the same chatroom that plugged into the Town Hall. But now, it's been ToOized... and members will have their name appended with "ToO_" at the beginning of their username. I hope everyone enjoys this latest addition to the Town of Odyssey, and has a great time in the chatroom!

Now, I also have some bad news (depending on who you speak with ;)). Since Jonathan and Evil Chick were sworn in several weeks ago, we have been preparing for my departure from the board. I love the Town of Odyssey and the members here, but maintaining this board as well as juggling my own personal life (in addition to both school and work) does get taxing at times. To resolve this, I've needed to set aside some time to just relax away from the board, and Jonathan/Evil Chick are more than up to the task of managing this place. I've been slowly weaning myself off the board by spending less and less time here each day for the last couple of weeks, and I'm now ready to take the next step of actually leaving for an indefinite amount of time (I'm not gone for good, I just don't know how long I will be absent for... a few weeks to longer than a month, at least).

In the case of an emergency, I'm still can be reached at [email protected]. Crashes/account problems/a broken board, etc... are matters that still require my attention to resolve. I will still be checking my email daily and if immediate attention is required, I will try to do what I can as quickly as possible. All other matters such as factions/fees/complaints/questions, please direct them towards Jonathan and Evil Chick. They will be able to take it from there.

I will be around for the next day or two, just getting some last minute things in place, so if there is anything that requires my immediate attention, please let me know ASAP! :) Thanks, and I look forward to seeing everyone in the near future!

Yay! Thanks for the hard work Tim Peterson! We will enjoy it very much!

And, Shadowpaw! We will miss you so much, but I understand needing to concentrate on schooling and real life. :D Come back to us sometime soon. \:D/

No, seriously--I loved that sock. :(

Have a relaxing rest and I hope everything goes well. Come back with great ideas and more insightful posts.

I've been a member of that chatroom for about two years. (maybe)

Use the chatroom! It's been active for a year, and most of you are missing it.

It would be possible to set things up so you can permanently change what nickname you automatically get when you join, if you prefer something other than ToO_(username). Would it be useful if I did this?

Yet they can talk nonetheless.

(In other words, it doesn't matter.)

NO!

*weep*

Shadowpaw! You... *sniff* need a break.

*blots at tears* Pity. We'll miss you.

Oh, and the chatroom doesn't work for me, but I have problems with plug-ins and applets anyway. :-s

*runs out sniffling*

Yay! Chatroomness! We'll see if I can avoid lots of time-wasting there. ;)

I hope that you have a nice vacation from the ToO, Shadowpaw! \:D/ We'll miss you, but I guess you are allowed to have a personal life beyond the ToO, if you really feel that it's necesary. ;)

The chat room isn't working for me, and I think it might be because my connection is through a school network - any suggestions for what I could turn off/adjust so it will work? :-k

It loads, and it starts to connect. Then, it says 'unable to connect : java.net.ConnectException : Connection timed out: connect'.

What to do, EK of awesomeness? :-s
