Good question. Wolverine is the owner of the paltalk room, and Fidelio has been running it from time to time, but it hasn't really been up very often lately.

I've heard that Wolverine is having ISP problems. I haven't seen him online in a while now. :-?

Wolv has ISP woes, evidently. I haven't heard from him in quite a while.

I can try guys but, sadly, yesterday my computer died. Trying to put it simply... The IDE controller went insane and took my CD drive with it and severely corrupted my harddrive. The harddrive had to be formatted and even now we're not sure if it's trustworthy. Problem is I have to wait two months to get a new computer. Bah. - Colt

Okay, SkeptEd56 and myself will be opening the PT room as often as we can from now on. So hopefully it will become more active again, hope to see you all there!

It is open now BTW,

Yes, it is still running, just not all the time. It was open last night. Just keep cheaking back in the evenings, you will be bound to find it open eventually. Remember it is under Social Issues.

I'm on my new machine now so I can probably get IRC up and running like it was. It's advantage over Paltalk is that I can just keep it open in the taskbar and listen to music where as Paltalk I can't do that. I need to talk to Vermonter about some of the technical issues I'm having with it but we'll figure it out. Looking for the IRC thread to be bumped soon. Having Paltalk and the IRC at the same time would be good. - Colt

I'll have the room open tonight for NASA TV coverage of the Titan fly-by.
(A little less than 2 hours from now.)

You curse Microsoft and Paltalk, unfortunately, since Linux isn't supported.

Note: The room hasn't been open regularly in recent days, as I was waiting for the election fracas to subside (Paltalk's climate has been less hospitable recently as a result). I also suspect there's been a catch-22 of sorts lately... I haven't been opening the room as much because I hardly see anyone online anymore -- but that might be due to the fact that I haven't opened the room as much. #-o

Perhaps I'll develop a specific schedule and post it here.
