Alright everyone, Zero Virus has a new Integrated Chat Room. =O
This is good news for those of you who had complaints about the last chat. This one seems to work alot better, and it also looks better and is more fun. =D
For our IRC users, there is some bad news. It doesn't appear you can access this chat through mIRC, I tried and it wouldn't work. Fortunatelly though, this chat works very similarly to IRC, nearly all the commands and functions are the same, you just gotta access it through the forum. =O
All this chat requires to run is the latest Java Script, which you can download from java.com/en/
This chat features Sound Emotes (not unlike ZV's first chat room) as well as normal emoticons and the ability to change the style/color of your text. It supports the "/me" command as well as the "/nick" and several other IRC commands. The chat room also allows the Staff to Moderate it (kicks/bans) and for free too. =D
The only downsides to this chat are...
1. There doesn't seem to be any way to alert you when someone says something, so you'll just have to pay attention. (It does however play a sound when someone enters the chat.)
2. There's a "Rooms" button at the top of the chat that links you to other chat rooms hosted by the provider. I'd advise you not to visit any of those rooms, since from what I saw most of them were meant for dating or other related inappropriate matters.
Other than that, this seems like the best chat Zero Virus has had thus far.
I know it'll take some adjusting too also, but give it a chance, I'm sure you'll all like it. This is the best deal we could get without having to pay a monthly or yearly fee too, and it's surprisingly good since most chats don't offer squat unless you pay. =O
Now, this new chat isn't ready yet, I still wanna play around with it some more and see if I can customize it a bit. Expect it to be up by the end of the week.
Everyone, feel free to ask questions, but please don't turn this thread into a "STFU I LIEK IRC!" flame war. <.<;
