[southerngale]

Don't forget to stop by the chatroom and get to know your fellow s2k'ers! It's open 24/7 and there's almost always people in there talking weather. Also, bookmark the links for those rare times the forum goes down. Check the first post of this thread.

See you there!

I was expecting the place to be hopping with all that is going on, and the debates that have been flying in the ATL section, but not seeing it. Is this still the right place?

The new season is almost upon us so feel free to join us in the S2K chatroom!

There are now 2 web based clients available to use. The easiest, in my opinion, is the client provided by our chatroom provider. Click on the link below, enter a unique user name, and press connect. EASY.

Mibbit is another good client but may require a modern browser. Click on the following link, enter a unique nickname and press go.

http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23Storm2k&server=irc.esper.net

If you have your own IRC based chat client you'll need to select the EsperNet server (irc.esper.net) and to join the channel (room):

Type:
/join #Storm2k for the main weather chat
/join #Storm2k_ot for the off topic room.

Hope to see you in chat.

bump.

Chat is a great lace for rapid conversations that don't work well here on the forums. Instructions in first post.

[tolakram]

bump for the chat channel, instructions in first post.

[tolakram]

bump, added links to mobile IRC clients for both android and iphone.

[NotSparta]

Seems quiet right now. Is it usually like this at this time of year?

[tolakram]

Yep. Typically only busy during the season and even then there's so many other ways to chat now it's not as popular as it used to be.

Hi all,

S2K is going to experiment with a DISCORD server for chatting rather than IRC.

To move forward I need some folks to volunteer as moderators who are regularly on Discord. In order to be a chat moderator you must have some history with S2K and be in good standing. Feel free to post here or send me a PM if you'd like to be considered.

What the heck is discord? https://discordapp.com/

DISCORD started as mainly a voice tool with message rooms as a secondary feature. Today message rooms are as popular if not more so than voice. S2K will NOT be hosting a voice chat at this time.

Opinions, concerns, etc? Please leave them here or PM me. The server will not be open until we have a moderation staff so please be patient.


Thanks!
