Asa,

Is there going to be an update tonight? I hope it wasn't that person again in the chatroom saying there will be.
Let me know if you were chatting to me before!
Thanks

I was on the chatroom then. I can't wait. You said there was going to be a bumper update on BBC NEWS section, but there is none!

Help!

I've just e-mailed Asa to ask him if it was actually him in the chatroom. If it wasn't the person using other's names is sick!

Nope, that wasn't me in the room earlier. As some of you will know, TV Home is on an extended break.

And I'm afraid the room has closed for the reasons brought up over the past few threads.

If anyone does know of a free chat-room that allows member-passwords, please do let me know.

Sorry to hear that Asa, I doubt anyone would want to impersonate me anyway.
Your best bet is an IRC room, however this would involve everyone downloading mIRC, or something similar, I am already 100% experienced in mIRC, but it is not the easiest of programs to use, so for a lot of people that is a no no, and even then you have to be a special user (i.e. like me) to be able to register your name.
To be honest, there is actually not a single chatroom I have ever seen/heard about that would be Java operated and allow member names.
As Java goes via IP addresses, so basically the best thing would just be to put it back.
I know that the Addicted Chatroom at SOTCAA has recently gained password and user access, whilst being in Java, however, I think it has been specially programmed to do so, so unless you wanted to spend a while working on the chatroom, there isn't much you can do.
Unless, people wanted to use Netmeeting?

Is anyone using the chatroom?
