With it being Spring, a number of new members, and the increasingly awesome community we seem to be building.....I think it's time to start up the Starcraft chat sessions again! We use MSN messenger which is available here:
http://windowslive.com/desktop/messenger
Download it, install it, and create a Windows Live account. You can then update your iboats profile with your MSN ID (I think this is typically your email address, at least mine is) and then you'll have a little MSN icon next to your name as you can see I have.
There isn't a chat "room" that you can just go in. Basically you just start a chat with a member and then people get added to the conversation as they sign on. This was easier in the past because Rickairmedic was ALWAYS on and could start the sessions. Right now I would think myself, CheapBoatKev, and North Beach are your best bets.
Last year a number of us were on quite often but Sunday nights at like 8-9 EST we'd have an "official" session.
I have one suggestion. On the chat we like to use our real first names. I have trouble keeping everyone straight with who they are on iboats though, but I have a solution. In the program under your profile options, there is a place for your name. In there I have "Jeremy". There's also a space for "a personal message you'd like others to see". In there I think we should put our iboats username and our boat model. So mine says "ezmobee - 18' SS".
If anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears. Kev, hopefully you'll help me out with being online a little more often till we get this started back up again.
Of course I had this idea today and I won't be home tomorrow due to a meeting of my train club
But I will be on fairly often (although I should be working on my boat).
