No, he means I advised Russ to turn his idea down.
(Wow, one minute. Are you stalking me? Posting crap and hoping I'll respond?)
@divegeester saidFunny, most people call it the "true" line.
Haha, you are so on the wrong side of the hot/crazy line!

@very-rusty saidIt could have been called mIRC.
Thanks for the feedback on it.
Were there operators on the site? I guess you would call them Moderators on RHP, only with the ability to kick people?
I thought it was called mIRC? would have been back in early 90's maybe 93-95.

All I know is that it was live chat and was hosted on a different server. An RHP member named vampire_man was part of their admin, and he set up a private chat room there for RHP members. He was a moderator for that room and there also was their own robo-mod.
This all happened in 2002, from mid January and was shut down by the end of March. If you follow the general forum pages as far back as you can go, to around page 1466, you will see some of the drama that happened with it, around Jan, Feb and March of 2002.
RHP admin didn't have anything to do with running the irc chatroom other than to create a link/button to take us to that chat room.

@mwmiller saidTotally before my time. I never even heard about it. Like you say, tho, admins prolly want to forget it ever happened.

@shallow-blue saidAnother "fan".
What do you mean, "hoping"? That should be "knowing".
Not mine, heaven forbid. His.

@mwmiller saidWell I was on a site I believe called mIRC, around '93 - '95, it may even have been a few years earlier than that.

It was for chat. I was an operator and we could kick people who were being abusive.
We had a lot of problems with Hackers, we would boot them and they would take us with them sometimes. We had 5 or 6 operators on at a time and usually 30-50 people I believe at one time.
I was being taught how to write some programs back then by one of the admins, but never used it and forgot most of it now.
I believe there were different channels you could go to. I got to meet one of the Operators on a trip I was making to Ottawa to see one of my brothers back in the 90's. Speed limit signs in Ottawa and Montreal were more like suggestions I soon learned, you just had to keep up with the traffic. I flew up and rented a vehicle for 2 weeks that turned into 3 weeks! Just brought back some old memories when I heard the name.

@shallow-blue saidSometimes it is best to just stay out spats between posters. You will be accused of taking one side or the other. You do know you really don't have to say anything right?
Nope, just pointing out that you've started exhibiting the same behaviour as your dear dive. A little less so - but only a little. I'm not a fan of either of your spats.

@very-rusty saidI still have a slight (but only slight) hope of making suzianne see reason; divegeester, none whatsoever.

@shallow-blue saidOk, that point is hard to argue. He does seem to have issues with many posters, myself included it isn't just suzianne as you are probably aware.
