When posting chat messages, please note that :

  • You may use a handle, or your correct name.
    You may also post anonymously, although this isn't encouraged

  • You need not enter your correct email address, although any address you type will be presented as a link so that other people can easily contact you. To bypass this feature, just enter '@' as your email address, although your correct email address will still be logged by the server for security reaso ns.

  • HTML tags are filtered out of chat messages. (If you don't know what thi s means, don't worry!).

  • If you enter the URL address of other web sites into a chat message, it will be presented to other users as a link for them to click on.

  • The chat pages are moderated. This means that posts which fall outside the (very broad) acceptability will be removed. These include harrassment, gratuitous profanity and defamation.

  • In the event of technical difficulties, please Email the webmaster
Troubleshooting...

  • Where have last week's messages gone ?
      Messages are periodically archived into a separate file, which speeds up the loading of the pages.

  • I just posted a message but it didn't appear
      The server has probably written your message to its internal hard disk, in in which case other people see it straight away, but sometimes you yourself will not see it until the next person has posted.

  • I tried to post a message but it said 'Already Posted'
      If you're trying to resend a message because you think it didn't go through, it probably did (see above).

  • Someone posted something really obscene
      Emailing the webmaster, so it can be taken down is usually better than giving the person the satisfactio n of a response.

  • I tried to email another chat person, but the mail was returned
      The other person may have typed a nonsense email address, or they may have just typed it wrong.
