Div Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 As part of our super duper hosting package we have the ability to create our own internet messaging system, a bit like MSN, Yahoo, AIM and the like. The difference would be that it would be safe from the hoardes of assholes on the web but you can add gateway accounts through to your MSN, Yahoo, AIM and ICQ accounts. Basically this would be dead easy for me to set-up but I am unsure if there is any demand or what impact it would have on the forum. It's a service called JABBER and we can create our own personal version of it so users would be like username@pieandbovril.co.uk What d'ya all think ?

Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The kids all seem to have each other on MSN anyway. Would probably be a waste of time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALL HÚNS 'n' TIMS ARE SCUM Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 On the main forum page this thread is titled "Pie and Bovril instant mess.." I was thinking it would be a thread about Parkinsons Disease or People with bad table manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I think it would be great! MSN is too clogged up with beta versions, viruses and arseholes. One request if it goes ahead though, everyone should register with their username so that theres no confusion when someone called "dannybaker0124784@pieandbovril.co.uk" appears on your contact list and you have no idea who it is.

Guest Wheezy Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 It might be most useful when part-timers dont attend games and cant instantly chat without having to post normally where usually there's duplicate posts. Also, people will hear the one score and everyone wont bother posting the same score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Think it's decent idea for all the things suggested above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deco Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I actually think it would be a great idea. Not everyone that uses P&B has the likes of MSN or Yahoo or whatever so it will give them the chance to have a decent chat with opposing fans the night before a game or something. Div, if it is easy to set up then why don't you give it a shot? If it doesn't work then you can easily scrap it, and keep it if it's going well. Good idea though.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 OK, seems I was wrong. I thought MSN was doing a roaring trade with the members here. Remember though kids, watch what files you download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deco Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Right, who was that? Very, very poor You actually think someone will own up? Back on topic. I think we should have a Yes or No poll to see who is and isn't in favour of this happening, to see if it will be worthwhile doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Might be worthwhile, as others say, give it a shot and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints1884 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Good idea,as msn comes with all sorts when you download it,spyware ect,so this would be a great thing to have instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Good idea,as msn comes with all sorts when you download it,spyware ect,so this would be a great thing to have instead. MSN Messenger contains no spyware, merely adware. The only people who have problems with it are those who f**k around with it, or execute dodgy files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I think certainly on match days it would be useful to communicate scores but wasn't that what the chatroom was for and we all know what happened there? Maybe it can be installed for a trial period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 The chatroom was quite crap though, because anyone could log in with any username they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
