getdare's Truth or Dare Chat (beta)

depp · 02-16-2007, 01:28 AM

Starting now I am testing a new chat feature here on the site.

Please use this thread to give feedback and bug reports. Improvements will be made based on your feedback.

Also, below are some basic chat commands you can use to get started!

Quote:

Announcing availability:
/away Sets user as away. Typing this command again sets user as "here".
/here Sets user as here. This reverses the "away" and "busy" states.
/busy Sets user as busy. Typing this command again sets user as "here".

Managing messages:
/back <number> Shows the last <number> of entries of the rooms chat.
/backtime <minutes> Shows the last <minutes> of the rooms chat.
/clear Clears the chat screen. This only affects your screen, not the screen of other users.
/me <action> Issues an IRC-like "action" to the chat.
/msg <user> <message> Initiates a PM with <user> and fills PM box with optional <message>.
/query <user> Initiates a PM with <user>

Accessing rooms:
/join <room> Switches the user to <room>. For example: "/join The Lounge"
/part Logout of the chat.
/quit Logout of the chat.
/logout Logout of the chat.

Managing users:
/ignore <user> Ignores PMs from <user>.
/invite <user> Invites <user> to the room that you are currently in.
/names Shows a list of all user names in all public rooms
/showignores Shows a list of users ignored by you and which other users are ignoring you.
/sos <message> Alerts moderator in current room or all moderators. <message> is optional.
/unignore <user> <message> Removes your ignore of <user> with optional <message> to user.
/who <user> Profile page popup for <user>. If you are <user> login information is added.
/whois <user> Profile page popup for <user> where <user> must be logged in to the chat.
/whowas <user> Profile page popup for any registered <user>.

Other:
/motd Displays the Message of the Day.
/topic Shows the topic or welcome message for the room you are in, if any.
/version Shows which version of the chat you are using.
/welcome Same as /topic.

See you in the chat!

Ohhh, to put an avatar by your name you have to go into the settings...

I must say I've just checked it out and I am mightily impressed by it all. It's a really, really good software and much better than most forum's chat rooms. I wasn't too keen on the idea originally, but now this has been put into place I've been converted.

My one criticism however would be with it's placement... Doesn't seem natural to have it in the Truth OR Dare. Possibly it would be better in Tangents, next to TORD Online.

One last question, it's going to pretty hard to moderate such an area. Any suggestions as to rules we could apply there?

I'll be able to enter it soon. In full range. Full motion. I'll translate myself into it.
