I've been trying to chat the past two weeks and annoying message of Hurkyl saying he's ignoring me pops up.

And it doesn't let me click ok.

Anyone else having that problem?

Thats odd, hopefully they can figure it out soon, we'd love to have you there. Its a lot of fun.
 
I guess I'm new enough that no one knows to ignore me yet...
 
Why is chat already down? It's still the weekend! :(

Chat is usually only open on Sundays from 10am to 4pm CST. But lately it hasn't been open at all, so we are really glad to have it.

Oh. Well, it was open until at least 6:00 CST, so that's cool.

I understand why we wouldn't want it open during the week. But why not Saturday evenings and all-day Sunday. Those seem to be the dead times for the forums, and it would be fun to have chat. :smile:
 
I have this Sunday off finally, so I should be in there :biggrin:
 
I enjoy it. Unfortunately I'm busy a lot of times during the chat, and it lags quite a bit for me.

We should organize set topics for chat.

I was going to say something, but had to edit. :P Mature people only comment.

Only if we include airplane on a treadmill and helicopter on a turntable.

What else, what else hmmmmm... I'm sure I'll think of something later, because I'm awesome like that.

Takes off; will take off if turntable spins in the same direction as the rotors.
