Drivers: WebMasters, Etc.
I have a proposal that maybe a few of us can work on.
There are lots of CHATTING techniques used on the INTERNET.
We can all go to wheretorace.com, Mirc (SERVERAL), NASCARNET,
IVGA - CHAT, etc . etc. etc. But when we go there its
just a conversation with one group. Why Dont we try and
make a room at www.talkcity.com. I would certainly be
willing to point the IVGA chat.. I all ready have at
TALKCITY. Whats neat is if 5 or 10 other people are
runnning there chats there as well you can open up
like 10 windows and you can see and participate in
all the CHATS at once.. Of Course since there are
about 2000 people there at night, We would have to
have a standard like on this group.. We could all
start with a common naming convention. That way when
we go there we can see all the other RACING SIM CHATs
in process. Maybe Michael Carver who proposed standard
for USENET could propose standard for CHAT groups at
TALKCITY.. Or some other place if you all know of one..
The IVGA is willing to support anything that will improve
CHATTING about RACING SIMULATION and IMPROVE COMMUNICATIONS
and ELIMINATE MISINFORMATION.. Maybe we can get together
and talk about some of these issues..

Don,
What is talkcity and where can it be found? I already have Mirabilis' ICQ
and of course IRC, so I really don't want to load up another chat program,
but if it is a really good application which many will agree to use as a
format, then I would be willing to try it. Also, once minimized, does it
have some kind of an "away" feature so that it will not interrupt any other
win apps? I love the ICQ away setting so that I can go use another full
screen app and not worry about the window popping up during the other game
or app.

http://www.talkcity.com is just a web browser Java interface (which takes
a REALLY LONG time to load) for using the TALKCITY IRC Network (which is
just like UNDERNET, EFNET, or DALNET) You can connect to Talkcity through
any IRC client at the server: chat2.talkcity.com port:6667 So in other
words, www.talkcity.com is just a substitute for people who don't have
an IRC client such as PIRCH or MIRC
