The Chat Room is back, you will need a Java enabled browser to use it though.. Just click the link in the main menu on the front page to enter... Enjoy :)

Noope, not working mate sorry, clicked the link and 404: could not be found came up.

I think it was linked to something like www.fmxaustralia.com/<CENTRE>

Also, is it at all possible (not sure if you can hack the code up much more) but to put the Online Chat in a little side box down the side of the Main Page. Maybe somewhere like the "Past News" that takes up quite alot of room... That might entice more people to use the chat room, because I remember not many did, so if they can see people are in there and talking, more members might head on in there.

Also have a weekly "Chat" with a pro or somebody of interest?

Ahhh the endless opportunities .... ;)....

( I Sure hope some potential Site Sponsors are reading this ;) )

Putting it on the front page would make the page really slow.. I might put a who is chatting thing kinda like who is online later.. And yer will try and arrange some pro's (as in pro riders not the stkilda type pro hahaha) to come in every so often..

And yer link is fixed.. ;)

Now now, we didn't say it'd be a necessarily bad thing :p

I think I'm not as internet Savy as I used to be... someone remind me how to enable Java 1.1x on my Browser? I'm running Windows XP, so yes, the browser is a relatively good version of IE :)

As for the username, I dunno whats up Grant, can you change it in the little box and reconnect?

If not download Mirc, join the WorldIRC servers and then join #fmxaustralia :)

See that a few Brisbane Night Clubs have stopped serving Bundaberg Rum... How rediculous is that... sure It doesn't worry me, cos I don't go to those night clubs (or any at all) but to stop the flow of rum because "people get angry" on it... rediculous...

Anyway back to the topic... if you'd like to find out more interesting facts like what I've given you, head into the Chat Room Now ;)

Maybe we can have a "Theme" for conversation some nights?... Get everyone in and ask whatever questions they want on that theme, say for example - Ramps... whoever wants to know anything about a ramp head in... Good idea? yes/no?

You can use Mirc and go to #fmxaustralia i think it is

How do I get into the chatroom via mIRC?
help please! ;)

Edit: Dont worry, figured it out myself :)

Insane
6th May 2005, 10:35 PM
For those wondering where and how to use mIRC, download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com,

Install it...

Run it and when the server selection comes up, connect to "World IRC: Random Server"

Once connected type" /join #fmxaustralia"

Talk away... :D

Knocked off from chat about 2:30 last night, got to bed 3 hours later... Tonight however was a much better effort, without the chat of course cause I obviously drank with other people for a change but yer I just got home and stuff and it was fun and I'll go to bed pretty soon I guess for a while. Well I mean I'm in chat now but the only other people in there are away for sleeping like you would expect I suppose, you know being whatever time it is right now and stuff... So yeah not much point hanging around there like a warm sack of potatoes... But I shall converse with you later on my good man. :drink:

Chat Room Theme for Tonight -
Crusty Demons world records! Come in and chat about the crazy crap that went down on Saturday night... and if there's a heap of people in there, who knows... our very own giver of life to the FmxAustralia.Com forums, Adam "INSANE" Kamenek might drop in and say hello, who is the new world record holder for the Longest Burnout.

Either way, check it out, fun for all the family :)

Thursday Nights Theme - STUDENTS NIGHT

This is for all those students who obviously aren't out on the town, indulging in cheap beer and spirits prices at their local pub and picking up 5 chicks and taking them home...
So if you are as lame as the rest of us, OR you are actually drunk and found yourself on the FMXAustralia.com Forums... come in the chat and dribble more drunken babble. We have quite a distinct group of members who are actually finding themselves increasingly intoxicated whilst on the forum. I'm President, Grant is Vice-President, and after last night, Pete is now Secretary of Getting Down of the Booze-Hound Association.

Your always giving, always caring Super Moderator: Steve :afro:

Nothing has changed to make the applet not work except the link is on the "info" page now instead of the main menu... The actual page the chat is on is unchanged.

Yeah, I've seen that, but still tripping me out, as I've seen a few people with the same problems with Java Applet failing aswell (and they used to also be able to log in before) I guess i should just use Mirc, but I figure i'd rather see other members log on from the main page to make it easier for them too.

Do you know of any settings that i could change for my Java thingy that could prevent it from loading?

WorldIRC has shutdown the Java applets we used... Its broke, dunno if will be back or what.. will look into it ASAP :)
