Regarding the chat I’ve been working on.

As some of you may know I have been working to get the old phpFreeChat system working again for help.com users as hosted on a hidden section of my website here:

Note: I have created a redirect link. My chat is now at:

http://www.jalexinteractive.com/helpchat

OLD LINK (the new link just redirects here, only use this if the above doesn’t work):
http://jalexinteractive.com/phpfreech...

Finally for all you people who keep trying to organise a time we have the new service:

http://www.jalexinteractive.com/helpc...

This should hopefully fiiinally sort out the timing problem. It’s probably easiest if you shout me rather than email as that means everyone else can see the times too, or you could just leave it in the chat. When a time has been organised, I’ll change the above page to make it applicable to everyone. The countdown timer is in GMT+0 (English time) I’ll put the date and time in a a few timezones (perhaps shout your timezone along with your desired time as well to ease confusion.)

This post is basically an update log. I’ll add to it if I actually remember to :P.

Version 0.1 BETA
-Got chat working
-Default theme
-Default page layout

Version 1.0 RELEASE
-Extra parameters added
-Room SHOULD disconnect you if you don’t disconnect before closing the window
-Changed the theme to “Cerruti” (the same theme as chat.help.com used to have)

Version 2.0 JALEX INTERACTIVE
-Changed website layout to fit in with theme of main website
-Changed maximum nickname length from 15 (default) to 20

Version 2.1 PROXIES
-Actually managed to get the parameter working for proxies which means that
-Word censoring is disabled
-Floodbot is disabled

Version 3.0 HELP.COM
-Complete overhaul of the website design, made a new help.com style theme at the request of a lighter style from MySmellf.
-Changed maximum nickname length from 20 to 30
-Added description

Version 3.1 SMILEYS :D
-Added new emoticons being small images from help e.g shout megaphone, online and offline lights etc.
-Tweaked some of the coding a bit

Version 3.2 MODERATION
-Set up banned names to keep unwanted people out.

Version 3.6 D: :3
-Added 2 new emoticons

Version 3.7 FOR OTHERS
-Added 8 new emoticons
-New Smiley artist: Tobi

Current moderators are:
-Jalex
-Daft Puck
-Dani
-Mitzy

Due to a new policy all help.com moderators are automatically allowed a mod spot. If you are a mod here and wish to help out, or if you want to be a mod and have valid reasons (I will NOT mod on request,) shout me and I’ll see what I can do.

As you may have noticed there has been an increase in the amount of emoticons recently. This is because Tobi has been kind enough to make them. If you would also like to make them, the dimensions of the image must be 16X16. They can be made in any image software, even MS paint if you so wish. Then shout me with a link to the images and I’ll add them if I like them.
I may hold a competition at some point idk.

Please note that there are still some bugs, but I will continue to work on these. People still prefer to use tinychat at the moment because of a few potential lag issues and simply people prefer having webcams etc. I would like to take this opportunity to point out that this chat is considerably more secure (moderation wise) and more stable than tinychat, but you may continue to use this if you wish.

No it was because the phpFreeChat website was pulled by the website creators.

That or the website just plain broke.

Why are you still here :O

Anyway, what I never said that for one thing, they should work just very slowly, and secondly the proxies of which I speak are used only by the chat. It is these that stop the censoring and floodbot. Both of these are called proxies by the parameters set by the program.

This seems to be one chat site for all. Why don’t you make possible to chat with in only two people privately like facebook.

You can!
Click on a name (can’t remember if it’s right or left) and you can start a private chat with them.

Making a separate room can also work but that’s a longer process and rather pointless.

Haha. That’s was ages ago :P

Overall it’s pretty quiet, not many people use it but occasionally you’ll find people on and I’ll connect every now and then.

It’s also still quite laggy. However I have been led to believe the servers are getting an upgrade.

Regarding the chat I’ve been working on.

As some of you may know I have been working to get the old phpFreeChat system working again for help.com users as hosted on a hidden section of my website here:

http://jalexinteractive.com/phpfreech...

This post is basically an update log. I’ll add to it if I actually remember to :P.

As you may have noticed there has been an increase in the amount of emoticons recently. This is because Tobi has been kind enough to make them. If you would also like to make them, the dimensions of the image must be 16X16. They can be made in any image software, even MS paint if you so wish. Then shout me with a link to the images and I’ll add them if I like them.
I may hold a competition at some point idk.

Thank Eddiee for that. I decided to change it, but couldn’t be bothered to sift through all of them. So I picked a few I liked (I liked this one a lot) and sent a link to Eddieee to pick his favourite. He came back with this one and it stuck. I think it sounds like a lift :3

People don’t use this one as much. You’ll find me most of the time.

Most people here use tinychat.com/newoldhelpchat but you are welcome to mine at any time ^^ I’ll be on later, I’m just not sure how much later :P

personally, i like yours better. it reminds me a lot of the old “official” one. good times. anyhow, i went on a chatroom on tinychat and it was closed down. but i guess the link you gave me is of an even newer chat room. they should stop closing it down and just stick to one. honestly, if you advertise more, people will choose yours. it rocks, i love it. i’ll invite others on there when im on here

They closed the last tinychat by accident. They were trying to stop anyone being a mod.

I like mine more but it’s not bug free and it’s been known to lag (though it’s not as bad as everyone says.)

Regarding the chat I’ve been working on.

As some of you may know I have been working to get the old phpFreeChat system working again for help.com users as hosted on a hidden section of my website here:

Note: I have created a redirect link. My chat is now at:

Finally for all you people who keep trying to organise a time we have the new service:

http://www.jalexinteractive.com/helpc...

This should hopefully fiiinally sort out the timing problem. It’s probably easiest if you shout me rather than email as that means everyone else can see the times too, or you could just leave it in the chat. When a time has been organised, I’ll change the above page to make it applicable to everyone. The countdown timer is in GMT+0 (English time) I’ll put the date and time in a a few timezones (perhaps shout your timezone along with your desired time as well to ease confusion.)

I put it up on the side, I said to email me and I’d set the timer on jalexinteractive.com/helpchattime

Ugh so my websites apparently switched hands AGAIN. It’s probably dead forever, if you want to get up a list of names or sth of people that would like it back then I’ll forward it to the wonderful Ben, (the guy who was supposedly hosting it for me) and I’ll see what I can do.

So how about we instead make a help chat through IRC? I can probably script a bot to help with moderation as well. It’s also super easy to connect, especially if we talk through Rizon.

Don’t you have to pay for IRC, hmm. I could see a help.com IRC working quite well. I want to get my website back up as soon as possible anyway, but yeah that’s a good idea.

No, it doesn’t cost anything. Connect to a server like Freenode or Rizon, register the channel by sending a message to Nickserv. And that’s pretty much it.

Chanserv*, I mean. Nickserv is for registering names.
