RPCA Chat (WAS: Where is Everyone? Roll Call)
"Yowie" wrote in message
... Pat wrote: It may be a wise idea to have a private forum - how about rpca.org or rpca.net. This way, there would be ZERO spammers, and everyone there would be authentic. You can set forum software up to enable anyone to join, or to require admin approval for new accounts. That's a sure way to keep spammers at bay. Also, it could be set up so that only members can read, which would put an end to most privacy issues. Its a question of who owna and/or moderates the group. We already have catslaves, and the RPCA facebook page, and we've had at least two RPCA chat rooms (although both are probably defunct by now). There's the two RPCA photo yahoo groups, and Felinitations the card exchange group. All sorta kinda mostly work to a greater or lesser extent, but aren't like here. The one thing I like about Usenet is that its unmoderated and I can access it from 'anywhere', and thats both a good thing and a bad thing. Yowie The RPCA Chat Room is still there... On an IRC client use the following server: xeon.edigic.com port 6667 #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes If you use Firefox as a browser and have Chatzilla installed you can get there via the web thusly: irc://xeon.edigic.com/rec.pets.cats.anecdotes The problem is we're scattered all over the world and could never come up with a good time to chat Jill |

And both in the UK (just too many similarities for this aging brain to
remember who is whom) - thank you both for the info.

That what i meant with the above. |

Also, if anyone knows why someone left (disliking the group or just likes Facebook more), I'd like to know that too, if possible. So my hand is up - Lori Crews (real name optional) aka "CatNipped" began posting to rec.pets.cats from around 1994 (posting history is optional). I'm still here, mostly reading, I just prefer Facebook as it's easier to share photos, and I like the visual aspect apart from anything else. Anyone who wants to add me, I'm there under Debbie Maizels (Wilson). I read here, but rarely post. I am still collecting articles, but have less time generally. -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.org/sty_menu.htm Liverpool, England, UK Emails welcome Nico: SI Vp B 0.6 Y++ L-- W C+++ I+++ T+ A+ E++ H S+ V+ F- Q P+ B+ PA PL- SC+ Nemo: SI Vp B 0.6 Y++ L-- W C+++ I+++ T A+ E++ H S+ V+ F- Q P B+ PA PL- SC+ |

They are both there, Helen Miles has the Miles in brackets, but I think it'd show up in a search, and Wafflycat can be found with Wafflycat. There are quite a few of us ng people there. -- Christine in Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com |
