out of curiosity, how was RPG chosen to get it's own chat?

seemed most viable (regarding chat room activity on this site, meta activity and so)

ok

Is Area51 going to get its own chat?

So we can talk about proposals?

← 2 messages moved from The Tavern (General)

That's a good idea ... but you could always do that here ...

@CRoss I could also talk about SO on the SuperUser chat.... but I wouldn't do that either

How can I move messages?

Step 1) Be the Room Admin

a-ha

Or site admin

I figure the rest of the steps really are useless to you....

@Chacha102 We talk about area51 on meta.so, we talk about everything else in chat too

:P

So, bit by bit, this is starting to become a reimplementation of IRC with Ajax. IRC 2.0

Yes

Just ... better...

eh ... it's pretty integrated into the sites

user profiles, authentication ... etc

Unlike IRC, people come onto our site and complain about how all messages are saved and available to Google...

IRC channels with public records also have that problem

yes, this wouldn't be suitable for the sundry uses that IRC is

@CRoss Its being pretty integrated into the sites doesn't diminish the fact that one at a time, standard IRC features are being implemented...

@JohntheSeagull True, it has irc features, but that doesn't make it irc

and some irc features are purposefully excluded, /me, etc

I'm starting to think that those features are being excluded just to say "see? this is NOT IRC"

@Doug As ChaCha said, SO will be the last site to get it, because of its gargantuan volume

[status-feature-request] An option to dismiss all notifications for your name

Press Esc...

(assuming focus is on the input field)

@JohntheSeagull You don't like clicking the circle five times?

I prefer pressing Esc

Large posts won't let you italicize them.

@LanceRoberts I don't think formatting can span lines

Bummer
