I decided to create a new thread for this vs using the old Google Chat thread.
For a while now adding users to the live Google chat has not worked well at all. It appears that even after inviting users after they have requested access, they just never get the invite.
So I have installed a chat that is meant for WordPress, but uses outside resources instead of bogging down our website server. It is called Minnit Chat. As of right now, I am only using the FREE version of this chat. No bells & whistles. Limited customization. It also restricts the chatters to 20 at a time. That is not great, but I think we can at least give it a TEST for the weekend series vs MSU.
So if people could try to use that vs the Google Chat this coming weekend, that would be great.
I have added it to the GPL Chat page. You can find that in the Community Menu or the link below. On that page you will also find the game stats feed for the game. They will go live right before the games starts. For those on desktop, you will see that part on the right 25% of the page. If you are on mobile, you will find it below the main chat window.
Just a reminder, this is just a TEST. If it works okay, only then will I get aa paid version and make it look nice for GPL.
If anyone wants to try it out, I will be in the chat off and on tonight for testing.

If you are bored... Please come test the chat with me. Need some feedback before we use it this weekend. (Especially from those of you that use the chat each game) I will be in and out of it all day today. (Wednesday)

Google Chat is dead.... Long Live GPL Chat!
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
How did this work over the weekend? I didn't get much chance to be in there.

Popped in from the arena a couple times, maybe wasn't quite as easy as Google Chat was for me, but, I didn't have any actual problems, and with the issues we've had overall with Google Chat, I think this experiment was a success this weekend.

I think it was ok. I miss some of the features but it's cromulent and probably even good if there aren't many choices.
A bit annoying with how it interfaces with iPhone typing and misspelling. But then again, eelcshot.
