I wonder why no one is in TheHelper.net Chat?

[tom_mai78101]

Is it still in beta stages? Or is just that a lot pf users don't like to wait for 15 minutes just to load the Java applet? Or is it just me, not knowing how to connect to the channels where other people are there chatting?

I tested it, and it had gone pretty well, but no confirmation had been made by others. Overall, it is okay.

Thanks in advance.

It just never caught on.

It started off well, but then, not many members go and actually stay there. Besides, the community isn't as big as to have people asking questions 24/7.

There is a thehelper.net chat??

 

[esb]

Yes... In the top, next to User CP and FAQ.

> wait for 15 minutes just to load the Java applet?

Only the very first time.
After that, your browser has it cached, pretty much instant (a couple seconds).

Besides, if it actually does take 15m first time, I'd suggest getting a better connection.

I don't think sites like this one need a chat, even hiveworkshop's chat is almost empty.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Oh my, well, let's just assume I will be in there, chatting with Statbot.

But then again, I really wish others would join.

Besides, if it actually does take 15m first time, I'd suggest getting a better connection.

It wouldn't be much, as I have the fastest connection ever in our country: 13 Kilobytes per second. No joke, so stop laughing.

> chatting with Statbot.

Try QuizBot: "/join #quiz".

 

[tom_mai78101]

There's nothing...
It spoke a little, something like:

"I know about 5894 questions. "
Then I press "!ask".
It died.

 

[AceHart]

It's nearly impossible for QuizBot to die.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Well, no replies at all. So, assuming the bot is dead, otherwise there should be a question popping out at least within 30 minutes. I did use "!ask". Nothing. "!qhelp", and still nothing.

 

[Kenoriga]

We should start advertising, it should be a much easier channel for question asking...

 

[tom_mai78101]

Actually, that would be against the rules.

Might wanna ask Acehart for some advice.

 

[Daskunk]

, even hiveworkshop's chat is almost empty.

Not at all! Thiers about 8 people ALL the time, and up to 22 or higher active times. You must have been REALLY unlucky to catch it emty!

 

[tom_mai78101]

Huh??
