So just how annoying are we in person?

So ... there's a wonderful little program called "Paltalk" which allows you to voice and video chat and is free for folks to download and use.

http://www.paltalk.com/PalTalkSite/index.html

Everyone grab it, set up a microphone and/or a webcam, and add Fishpaw to your buddy list. I've set up a group called NationStates and will be there off an on for a while.

So if you want to be annoyed by my Cajun accent, come on in.

I've bookmarked the site, but I'm not sure that I'll ever get round to buying a microphone or webcam.

Hmm...I was planning to go shopping this weekend, so I might get a microphone if I can find a cheap one.

14-04-2005, 19:55
Well I have video, but it's not hooked up and I'm not too sure I would. :p

But the mic's on. :D

Come on, Peech ... I bet my accent's worse than yours. ;)

my connection is at 21.6 kbps, not really enough for surfing. if y'all ever want to try graphical chat (i own a "palace") let me know, using your own pics for avatars and backgrounds can be fun.

I wonder what you lot would think of my voice. You know, I often wonder what I think of it, but I just never seem to give myself the time of day...

Edit --- Oh, oh! I'd be able to show you the horror that is my sliced hand :D.

you should still give it a go, you can listen to people, although i think Keruvalia has to be on for us to be able to use the room which is annoying but if anyone shows any interest in going on now i'll make a new room for now

I used to use Paltalk a lot, but the culture of hatred and racism that is perpetuated by many in the Social Issues category is really depressing. That and after countless attempts by countless people to highlight these ToS breaches to PalTalk staff falling on deaf ears, I really lost faith in the program and the people who run it. The typed transcripts I have from some of those rooms would make you sick. :mad:

The room is up now. I've just woken up, so my mic isn't on. :p

However, I'll leave it up until either someone else comes in or I go to work. If someone else comes in, the room will stay even if I leave, but you won't be able to boot out undesireables.

pretty much same here, except i see getting dressed as 'starting the day' for some reason. once i get dressed i ought to get on with things (man i hate things so much :mad: ) so i stay in me PJs for as long as i can :D
that said i have to leave it half an hour after i get out of the shower, before getting dressed, to let my hair dry (well, before the haircut i did, now its just habbit :p ). u probably have to wait a whole load longer!
