Ah but what if I told you that you can download a program called mirc for free which takes up less space than your graphics that will allow even a dinosaur 486 to log into IRC with no problems?

Been there; done that. When my comp didn't freeze, I couldn't keep up. I got rid of it. Our site owner and our site adminstrator also abandoned the idea for other reasons.

I kind of agree...hmmm...odd man? I thought you were a women? :confused:

But it looks like it's happening anyways with these stickies.

Trillian is the only other program to log into IRC.

My comp won't support any IM I've yet tried, much less Trillian and IRC on top of one another, but I only made the point because others may have trouble, too. Don't try to set up anything specifically for me.

Other than we would need to figure out a feasible way to get Plan in, is anyone else interested in the chat room?

No, you don't need to do that, Inspired, not that I don't appreciate the thought.

It wouldn't be one on top of the other, and there is a way to create a hyperlink to that chatroom using java, it's not a huge deal, I have just never done it on my own.

This is just a suggestion so far without Erwins ok, or even telling us its feasible. I like it, except for the troll issue, or even members getting out of hand, but that could be dealt with. I just worry about Erwin going through a lot of trouble to create a chatroom that isn't used. The other one is totally ignored.

I already knew I couldn't keep up in a chatroom; it wouldn't have been ignored if I could have. :)

Maybe since that one isn't used at all, we could just use that one, and if members come in who are under 18, then we would just voluntarily agree to suspend those kinds of dicussions?

I'm interested in what everyone is saying...(even Gunny)....and it's hard to get a history on the discussion. Most discussions have been "fruitful" so to speak.:p

Personally I learned alot.

Maybe instead of calling it a "Homosexual" sub-forum call it "The Rainbow Room".

Inspired, I won't be participating. I've only been posting here because it sometimes helps to hear from Lois Common Denominator when you're trying to set something up. I'll quit now, okay? :)

If you want to quit ok, but I don't want you to think i want you to, because I don't in the least. :confused:

It seems to me the more I'm reading these posts and thinking about it, the majority of our problems with the threads boils down to two things:

1) Too many threads all debating the same topic
2) Any discussion about homosexuality instantly turns into debate


I agree with the sentiment that you don't want to be 'segregated', but I'm starting to think that subforums might be the answer. However!

I didn't see this suggestion.

What about a subforum for the sole purpose of debating homosexuality and Christianity? That way those of us who don't want to get into yet another go-round argument don't have to, and debating won't be allowed on the topic elsewhere?

And maybe there should be a Homosexuality forum in the Christians-only area? A place where a homosexual Christian or someone seeking advice on the topic can go without it deteriorating into yet another argument? (if it's enforced that debating is not allowed in there; take it to the debate subforum)

I realize my advice probably weighs about as much as a feather, given how briefly I've been here, but that seems to be the two biggest problems: Any time Christians want to discuss homosexuality among themselves, even if they themselves are Christians, they cannot without it turning into an argument with the other camp.

Just my two cents, for whatever it's worth.

Well if no one's going to use the chat room, then no there would be no point in asking Erwin to go to any trouble.

I was just trying to find a place for us to chat, if I go to friendhip court, and type anything about homosexuality, even if it has nothing to do with sex, the thread will be moved.

But if I go to S&C I can only talk about sex, I'm not even having sex, and I get really bored with talking about it.
