    Hey Ya'll...I've been reading through the forums lately probably like most everyone else and seeing all this JC activity and just pondering the bad vibes...I guess I've been torn like most with the same dilemma we all must face from time to time questioning my feelings toward someone else stirring up my shit when it is usually me doing the shit stirring... I'm right with you CCj, I was asking myself all the same questions about being miffed at this mystery guest using a name, a word, to drive a point home about something I can't even follow anymore, because as a card carrying rude crude shit stirrer in the flesh, I guess I should be open to any and all good healthy shit stirring... in recent years I have taken to questioning my own paradigm rather than that of the shit stirrer before going on the offensive about anything, and in recent years I have hardly ever gone on the offensive about anything...its great not being offensive...but the thing is that eventually you come across a situation that just doesn't seem to come full circle...I mean, even if I don't agree with the shit being stirred, eventually I agree with and respect the point of view of the people stirring the shit for whatever reason, and that helps me reach inner peace as well as outward tolerance...the thing I just can't seem to nail down about this JC is that he seems to be opposed to people chatting about good intentions toward a cause, recently he has taken issue with the bickering on the site as well...okay, all in the name of good ole healthy positive shit stirring I guess...but the thing that really gets me is this thing about posting these grand statements to all of us on each forum so that we don't miss it, who knows, but the thing is that posting those things all over other people's areas is just plain stepping out of bounds...I don't know if this JC is aware of the effect that kind of thing has as far as setting himself outside the realm and really just scattering us all around inside here....its just not funny, nor is it getting across the message it claims to be promoting... the real JC never wrote his own gospel.....and I'm not sure but the last time I channeled Pigpen and asked him about the website his response to me was, "what the fuck is the internet?" I agree with JC about the bickering being a bummer, but I agree with everyone else on that one too....anyway, thats just my two cents...I like reading and chatting and stuff, but the JC BS is a little much....time to put on some good music, fire one up, and maybe play a little solitaire instead...I've just gotta have a break from the same ole thing over and over and over.... P.S. Ami, I like the name the 12 disciples question, thats a good one. I hope you don't mind if I use that one next time I get a Jehovah's witness...

    long ago when a jehovah's witness came to the door, I would ask if they could name the 12 disciples. Many came, none entered,,,maybe we put JC to the test. CB, the badger is the missing link- the show is a mere accessory. enjoy your day if twirling. Is that the show with a long and decent Loose Lucy in the first set? Ami

    I have just acquired the final missing link in my 1973 collection. If you thought that was a rather sad achievement you would be in full agreement with Mrs Badger.

    Grate song Ami!!! love it!! Why don't we have a section for song parodies?? ******************* personally, I do not care if someone wishes to call themselves Jesus Christ as their board name, but I wonder if it is in good taste?? being a rude, crude guy myself, even this miffs me a bit; just knowing that some folks take their faith and religion seriously, and I would hope everyone would respect peoples space about serious stuff like that. the fact that it is ALL over is another bummer. I hope the mods would just clean it up so we do not have to waste time seeing it again and again. it did seriously bum me out to be accused of being that poster in a pm, but that is ok, I've been dissapointed and bummed out plenty of times by those I 'thought' I knew. it is either an internet troll or a total nut or someone just trying to stir the pot. I'll say it again, ignore it; which I was doing until I got accused in a pm, and somewhat less clearly accused on the forum itself. there is, of course, a simple way to know exactly who it is, if the site administrators or if the Mods access to the ISP numbers, (internet server provider) numbers, it is ever so easy to trace who it is. proxy servers do not hide that kind of thing, either, so a kind chide might be in order. just a thought there. I think it would be hard for anyone to be funny posting as 'Jesus Christ' though I am sure the real Jesus had a sense of humor. did I ever tell you the joke about the priest, the rabbi, the mullah and the drunk off duty cop?? peace

    after looking back on a hectic day in this pseudo-chat room, I have to say I got a night time chuckle. CB is now either the well-endowed, tho modest Badger behind the hedge, unless it's a female badger which would mean she's a badger covering her beaver and with a nod to Hal, in Wisconsin yet! maybe the 'shroom is made of cheese. Gigi, if I had spewed Mescal, where on Earth would the worm end up? Speaking of on Earth, we have an appearance by JC himself and he's predeceasing others. reminds me of the great Monty Python- well, I just buried the cat! was it dead? No, but it didn't look so good, and I knew I'd be busy later in the week, so.... hey JC, tho I'm technically Jewish and we don't really believe in a heaven (or hell for that matter) say hi to my dad. I really miss him and he's a good 4th if you need a body for a pinnocle game. I agree with others, CCJ is too funny to be JC. And I don't know about you, but I don't sense any vibe of anyone really getting on anyone else- or am I just tripping? speaking of tripping, back to the dancing badger. I think CB should make mini-vids for all the various endangered species for heightened awareness. And how does this sound for Dancin' Badger music?: (sung to the tune of wave that Flag) here's the badge hard to image high on 'shrooms danced outta the room up and down all around near the bush what a cute tush danced outta bed whatta cheesehead world's spinnin round badger's searchin for the sound wave that badger wave him wide & high up and down boy in his hole my oh my oh my oh my.....

Well i guess the folks who operate this site don't want the chatroom anymore.I am very disappointed as i met some great friends in there and visited this site almost everyday to see them.I am going to try and continue on without it,but as a disabled and fairly homebound deadhead,i just want everyone i met there to know my life was better with you all in it.The time i spent there everyday was a blessing to me and i love all of you very much.Thank you for all you did to bring me happiness and joy while we had the chance to be together.The place will be sorely missed by this deadhead.I wish you all the peace,love happiness and prosperity that life can offer.Now i will fly up into the sky and disappear into a hole in the smog like the lorax.

while I can't say what's ultimately on the minds of the higher-ups, I think it's fairly obvious that the finite technical resources have been rather consumed with the 30 Days of Dead and that's likely to continue for the next couple of weeks. When I have anything more specific to report I will.

and the absence of the chat room should not mean that people don't find another way to stay in touch. In my old age I've seen a lot of online gathering places come and go, and it's just a practical reality to have a disaster plan--I mean, if Gagalive could vanish with no warning in a heartbeat... Being on the Internet is like living in earthquake country. You need a disaster plan. All of which is not to say that we're unaware or unappreciative of the issue, or that we're not planning to address it, but people need to figure out ways to stay in touch with each other also!

I know before you used to be able to make a chat room.With some Hosts/Servers. What about a ICQ. And how much could it cost?? Be proactive make your own. When did us freaks of society wait to be told where to go and when :)? Too much knowledge in this venue not to come up with a answer, Peace and Blessings to all.

Ok i basically found out that all ya need is a web site.And then post the chat link. Ok everyone say no shit sherlock. hey news to me. We can get a go go daddy or other cheap hoster. Host Gator is A good one for 90 a year. Now can we get a link on deadnet to point them to the Chat room.?? I will even volunteer i now have a dictation thing for mac so my typing and data processing much quicker. I figure a basic DEAD CHAT ENTER and away it goes even if 100 people only want to do it 5 bucks should cover it for 3 yrs. Unless i do not understand which happens with Just being dense.. Good one and Blessings to all Smiley Dave. Ill buy a box and run it for everyone(box a computer just for chat and downloading music was planning on it any ways since. im not moving as soon as id like. might as swell. Some one contemplate this tell me my errors and what corrections. Please correct my ignorance, Smiley Dave Do For Other's You Will Feel Better. Guaranteed!!!!

But thank God for the chatroom. Hope someday it comes back, I tend to agree that the tech side will be taken up with 30 days of the dead and then Christmas time orders...we prob won't see one till after January. And we do have the savage chatroom bail out that mona mentioned. Although, sometimes it's not populated. I miss you all a bunch, but I know I can always pick up a phone too.

I feel like I may have won on the 23rd, but it's now going on 8:00 PM and it still says they haven't selected a winner. I'm just wondering if this is normal because I've never paid much attention to it until today, and to be honest I really would like to know who won.

Yes, there is a login to the chat room. However, you don't need to create a separate account, just use the same ID and password that you use to log in here. We had some problems with the old chat that people who were not logged in here and probably not members were getting in the chat room and causing trouble, so this is meant to solve that issue. And, with regard to another issue from the old chat, this new chat room comes with the ability to ignore people who annoy you. So if someone's acting up, just select their name in the list in the right column (who's in the chat room), click for the pulldown menu, and select Ignore. This should put an end to the playground squabbles as there is no need to engage with a squabbler. Thanks and chat on!

No "censorship," but no audience either if everyone does this. Bad actors are attention junkies, and rendering them the proverbial tree falling in the forest when nobody hears it deprives them of the audience they crave. Freedom of speech does not mean anyone has to listen to you.

if you're the kind of person who googles yourself to see what people are saying about you, this approach may have its failings. But in general few things shut bad actors up faster than the realization they're talking to a void.

it is really getting to be an issue to be able to get on chat. been slow anough since the new one but hard when u invite ppl who really want to come on and its just a hassle so they give up. have to give weird unstructions like go and back and forth between to white page and the not found page to get the blue page. then if u get the whole blue page it wont post what u r typing. i know savage offered his services in helping to get a free chat that work very well. so i do hope u look into it. we DO like are chat and would love others to come and share the love. TY :)
