How to Chat
1.
Log in to
your
EZBoard account.
No need to create a new account, your ezboard account
will be logged in automatically. You must be logged into
your ezboard account for Chat to be accessible. Local
users can participate in Chat only at the community
where they are registered.
2. Click
Here or on
the Join Live Chat link on any
message board index page
to
launch the chat room, and wait a minute or so for the
chat program to download to your computer and launch
itself. (Note: some spyware/anti-virus programs may
block this process because they have been instructed not
to allow anything to be downloaded to your system. You
may want to deactivate them before chatting.)
3. When the applet has loaded, simply type a message then
hit
Enter to send
it to the room.
If the chat room does not load, turn
off your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, and on
Windows systems delete the ezboard cookie in your c:
windows/temporary internet files directory then reboot your
computer. You might also consider updating your browser
(Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari) by downloading and
installing its latest available version, and/or visiting
the
EZBoard Help Forums
.

Chat Rules
1. No spitting on the floor.
2. Check all explosive devices, rocket packs and firearms
at the door.
3. Be polite to special guests and try not to begin
multiple conversations if one is present.
4. Please be tolerant of those who may not share your point
of view. This room is for exchanging ideas, and stunt
punches, not real fisticuffs!
5. All right, if you feel it's absolutely necessary to beat
people up, be sure your bullets don't really hit anyone and
your hat stays on.
6. Don't everyone hit on Nyoka at once.
