It kind of reminds me of irc. You will popup but you will have to change your name to represent yourself. Otherwise you will be gabber13434

That's cool by me. I don't want people to know if and when I'm on that chat.

The thing is, Gabbly is a product that works with any website, and it isn't a BikeForums-controlled product. So while this solution is great in that it gives us a chat solution (that I like and will continue to use as long as there's some good people on board), it is neither controllable by the mods nor removeable. (The link can be removed, but the product will still exist and work.)

Feature? Problem? A bit of both, really. Hopefully, though, if we can squint and filter out the bad, it can be a worthwhile tool.

Yep this is an unmodderated non bikeforum tool. Use at your own discretion.

I've really enjoyed getting to know many of the Foosters better on Gabbly Chat. It's too bad there's often no one there.

I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode where Apu, Moe, and Barney are on a phone chat line, hoping to meet girls.

Something people should be aware of is that if there is no chat for a while
and you have not received a "last sent..." message then you probably got disconnected and you need to refresh to reconnect to the chat so you can see what people are saying. Seems to confuse alot of people who chat a bit and then think its dead.

Is this really the best service of this kind that we can use? I mean, how hard is it to set up something reliable like an irc server? Gabbly obviously has it in for me.

i can't access it due to websense at work. :(

it's big brother for your computer basically. it prevents me from looking at porn, gambling online, searching for bomb making materials, and accessing this gabbly site. maybe i'll check it out when i get home.

Gabbly stinks. Mainly because it dosn't allow me on, but i think we should get a more reliable 'chat' program.
