for the same reason we lost the flashchat, nobody is bothered by having one, all the members prefer painting than chatting

[subversive-imaginati]

I'd prefer to be painting, but I had a bit of an accident and can barely hold any painting implements right now. :P

thats a shame, try the other hand if posible, might not be as refined but good practise for value, compo etc ;)

I don't know if we should be sugarcoating this Mull.

I mean, most of us know the REAL reason why we lost the flashchat, or rather what we all refer to now in our hushed circles as "The Incident of '08".

Look, I'm really sorry about this Submersive, but Mull, Koshime, and Xdreamer would prefer that I no longer go into specifics in regards to the real truth of this matter, so let's just say that a harmless comment on the flashchat by Kaber, intermingled with a hearty mixture of obscene recklessness, and some superior technical prowess on X's end, led to a series of unlikely events that almost had CGPAD nearly losing their internet-license that day.

Our admins got off lightly though, with the judge's punishment being limited to unending online-probation, and also 100-hours of yearly community service in their respective locales.

Even all said and done, I think that even though the harmful effects of "The Incident" were worldwide in scope, for all of those "lucky" enough to be involved, you can't deny that...

...them's were a good times!

I tried that. Ever tried drawing on the bus? The resulting drawing kind of looked like I drew on a bus that went down a cobble street on it's rims while I was having an epileptic fit. Good for a laugh but not much else at this point. I might be ambidextrous but apparently my grip on that side isn't sure enough to do something recognizable with. I might train that hand up though.

@ "The incident of 08".

[Xdreamer]

Simple, our server got hacked because of a security lack in the flashchat...

CB3 - you're perverted lmfao

[Mull]

cripes CB3 you stopped taking them tables or what ?????????? I thought you promised never to mention the incident, back into your cage........YOUR GROUNDED !!

I'll try to idle in #cgpad on irc.quakenet.org on a regular basis. If we can get some people who are in there frequently, things might take off.

Harmless is one way to put it, honestly I didn't even consider the implications. You reeaaallly have to watch what you say on those flashchat things.
Of course in my defense I only did the talking. X's fingers did the walking.

Most chat rooms when they first start are slow to pick up, I notice. I was going in the irc one koshime started for a bit before my art duties overwhelmed me, and it was just me and koshime for a few days. I still got it on my list, just haven't logged in. *does so*

[Madster]

With time zones from all over the world, it would probably help if CGPad could set up a certain time and day when we could all try to log on...

I'm in Colorado, USA, GST - 7.

Chat rooms can be fun if we can all be there at the same time!

I just downloaded mIRC so maybe I can pop in here and there.
