Hello again Why anoter thread?


Any way..... we need a place to meet online. Any one ogt any ideas? Any one got a simple chat on there website? Heck even Para-Chat will work. All we need to do is get everyone that is ready to do this show up and exchange emails and instant messageing names etc.....

[Static]

Why not use a site like Excite then go in and create a private room...Called maybe "VBAPP" or something....

[Cander]

pardon the intrusion. But goto http://www.egroups.com. you can setup a dsicussion group and you also get a private file area and a chat room with it. Very helpful for keeping in touch on a project.

Sounds good
Pick Day time and give url of chat room i'll be the4re !

I started a new thread so that only the SERIOUS information will be discussed. It's kind of silly to keep viewing a 6 page thread when all the attention is focused on the last page or two. I like getting directly to the matter at hand without all the dribble. Can we PLEASE stick strickly to the topic in this thread? I'm currently trying to set up a chat room.

You should probably move this thread to the Communication Area Forum, as there are no General VB questions being asked here.

If everyone signs up for a free college club account we can use their instant message system.

OK Doc. I'm posting this in both threads so you guys can get a clue. I know your qualifications. I also know mine. I have been in this business half of my life (heck, I'm just a freshman) I know what there is out there in terms of code sharing. And you know what? You guys are trying to do something that you don't need to do. File sharing app--ever hear of FTP? It works really dang well and it happens to be better than most of what has been discussed here. Code sharing--you've heard the people. There's dozens of sites made JUST FOR SHARING CODE. Don't you get it? No offense intended, but all those degrees sure make you thick. ITS ALREADY BEEN DONE. THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER ONE. Catch the message? Fancy dough and impressive education aside, you've got nothing. Someone's already done it. You might as well say, "Wow! Wouldn't it be a cool idea to make a programming language that's like Basic but it works for Windows?!?!" Again, its a finished project. Nobody wants to see a bunch of duplicates, wannabes, and clones. Why? Becuase the first one works plenty well. Its a waste of your time. Need I say it again? SOMEBODY ALREADY DID IT. YOU DON'T NEED TO SCREW UP THE WORLD AND DO IT AGAIN. There's plenty of other good projects out there that can be benefited greatly by all the brains and talent going to waste writing stupid messages about Napster and ICQ. I'm not stupid; but it seems to me that you guys are traveling in that direction. Give it up, huh?

Hey Well I just wantted to do this to learn how to file share on a large group but i guess this i kinda bull ($hit?) trying to get all these "Stock" and all that stuff. Well it is allready a problem trying to figure out how it is gonna work there are so many Oppoins on how to make it work. I guess it is dumb.......Thanks for helping me relize it


LATER !!!!

Could you tell me your time zone so that I can schedule accordingly. If all of us can decide on one time zone as standard(I am not from US), it might me very helpful in collaborating.

[Doc Scheinder]

Eastern Standard time.

One last word before I quit this thread: I pity all you thickheaded fools that can't give this crap up. You deserve whatever happens to you.

[Doc Scheinder]

I can see why you are the digital freshman. You are acting like a child. Let it go. What skin is it off your back? Man leave that crack alone! From one fool to another!
