Hi ya'll -
For those of you who do not regularly follow the IRC thread, I was hoping to get together a Virtual Meetup! It is today and it lasts all day.
At any point today, Friday, December 23, sign on to the IRC channel (it is very easy, the thread has good instructions).
Right now jforest and I are both on - hopefully we can get some more people streaming in throughout the day.
Merry Christmas!

We have eight people including forum all stars Surio and LiquidSapphire. Come on by!
Here's how easy this is.
1) go to
http://webchat.freenode.net
2) fill it out like this (use your own username instead of akratic ) and hit connect
3) chat!

This was a great idea! Glad I got a chance to talk with some of you guys/gals. It was nice being able to chat with some of those whose journals I follow. Hope more people were able to join as the day went by.

Thanks everyone
In my eyes, the meetup was a huge success! Just when I was in the room I saw a rotation of probably about 15 people, and many forum all stars whose journals and posts I read all the time - what a hoot to talk to you guys!
It was so successful I definitely think it would be great to make this a monthly thing. I am targeting 21 January for the next one... it'll be a Saturday. Pop in any time and catch everyone else who's on at the same time!
Thanks to everyone who participated and Happy Holidays!

Definitely up for it again, but it'd be cool if people wanted to chat in the meantime as well

Interesting. I never knew it was this simple. I didn't know they had webclient IRC channels. Something new to occupy my time at work

Would definitely be a great idea

I'll be sitting in it for the next few hours, if anyone wants to chat about ERE, investing, Australians, or whatever is on your mind.

Anyone else enjoying the irony of "Loner" Matt championing the group chat thing?

It's a constant joy on other forum chat rooms

I'm an extrovert!

I will try to pop in if I can! Remember, it goes on ALL DAY, so as far as I know, it's already started in some of our earlier timezones... I am popping in right now!
