In testing our our "temporary" NEW Chat Room that we will be using for tonight's Chat, GS discovered that she was not allowed to enter unless her computer accepted cookies. So, please make sure that your computer accepts cookies so that you will be able to access the Chat Room. I believe you can "enter without registering." I humbly suggest testing things out ahead of time! Also, unless we make a change, the "new" Chat Room seems to have the curious trait of displaying ALL previous posts, so don't be surprised to see those present as you log in!
Thank you ALL for your patience in this process of finding a permanent new Chat Room. If anyone comes across a good replacement, including a REASONABLY priced one for pay, please let me know and I will take a look! (The Parachat replacement costs $225 per year, and that takes the fun out of it, would you not agree?)
Talking with my friend Eric Stedman at the Serial Squadron, they've stopped their chat room portion. He suggests A) search Google for Free or HTML Chat rooms and then dig through what comes up.
B) Consider Facebook, where we could set up a "group chat"
C) Something called NING, which is a paid Social Network that he's going to try out... the fees (20-40) are per month depending on the extent of what you're doing.
LASTLY... re: serials, the Squadron has a 5 chapter version of PATRIA... a 1917 silent serial in which Warner Oland stars in his first onscreen Asian role.
