So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...
Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.
thanks for fixing
I kept getting a message about scripts being wrong, and there was I thinking that the chat-room was spontaneous. Is there something we should know?
excuse my broken english and.....
After being booted out of the chat about 10 times just because, by people who know how to use the open code. i was insulted just like so many times before in this thing called grateful dead chat. This time by three tenageers, i think, who did beguin the conversation talkin about his drunk mother while making jokes about my name. Even, i think, they used the open code, to suit the chat at their convenience. I really cant believe why this can happen, dont talkin about the insults (the daily planet), i mean why you, the dead.net people let this things to happen. And of course, im ready to get more bullshit, just for this. Shame on me for being part of this and shame on you for let this things happen.
Hey bakalot
I was booted out too lots of times for misbehavin and I didn't do anything......anyway most of us here are really grate people :)

Peace, Gigi

What Gigi said! A really grate and special place overall! Don't let a few sharp rocks stop you from walking on the beach!! peace,pk
Current chat instability
First off, I have no official relationship with this site other than as Just Another User. However, I am a software developer by trade and have offered this site's developers constructive feedback where I can, and where and when appropriate I do hear back from them as well. From that, I do know that there are efforts currently underway to improve the general stability and user experience on the site. And like most periods of transition, there are occasional hiccups. I'm relatively certain that the current chat issues are being caused by that, rather than by some user compromising the security of their their server platform. Understanding the code that they are using and being able to affect the code that they are using are two very different things. I'm sure they will get the current chat issues sorted forthwith.
Just like I'm sure, bakalot, that you now realize that the usage of derogatory and insulting racial epithets on this site is not likely to be viewed as appropriate by the community here. Personally, I value the diversity of opinions and perspectives found on this site. I don't agree with all of them, and I'm also equally certain that there are others here who've seen more than enough from Mr. Pid as well. And that's fine, that's the way the wold works. We don't necessarily all need to like each other, but we should try to respect each other.
Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
instability
Once i just used the wrong word. I exclaimed something like, 'ohh what a song wrote that ******'. I dont see why, my mistake. My Fault. Chat instability, no shop instability, i was thinking about to make my first purchase here, and ..... im sure there is no instability in the shop....And know i head for the beach ignoring mean people to enjoy this brand new day under the sun. All good things in all good time.
hey bakalot
Sorry for the bad experience. As people have said, we're not like that here. Nicely said, Mr. P.
Folks, are we having technical difficulties, or were there some problem people in the chat room?
Chatroom is crazy
everyone is coming in and out in and out...very strange place to be tonight.......the ghosts are at it again beware........oooooooooooooooo
the spirts abound
hey now, the chat room is gone, gone , gone!!hmmm?
o well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRY!!!
how bout now?
too cool , i see the wheel has revolved again, new stuff and on Jerry's birthday!! did you plan it this way, jonathan and marye? can't wait too chat again, peace....what! oh yeah... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JER!!!
so the chatroom's back?
cool.
I don't know whether the server transition was PLANNED for Jerry's birthday, but clearly it was an auspicious day to do it.
I spoke too soon
chatroom is still offline due to the server move, but it'll be back!
gonna get stranger
And I can't stop wonderingJust what you got
Get the feeling I'm gonna find out real soon.... but for now you are temporary offline : (
and it's seems as i'm having to log in twice, the second time i actually have to type in! then if i do check on the chat and go back to recent posts via the side option on site page i'm no longer logged and have to go back using the back button on safari or firefox.
Well you know it's gonna get stranger
So let's get on with the show
i have the strange feeling..
(if i can read...) that the chat is off-line at least a week.there might be some doors who not everybody knows!!!!!!!!!!but regulary its offline pretty long:-( Frankly
is this thing on?
oh look, this works, even if the chat don't! did i miss the email saying the server was going to move and the site would be screwed up for a while? oh well, wheel keeps turning...now the question is do we know when we are hoping to be operational again(realisticly)??peacenlove2all

OK, intrepid travelers...
Jonathan, who is always looking out for us, has found some alternative chatroom software that he thinks might work a bit better.
So, in that fine dead.net spirit, we need brave souls to to check it out and see how well it works in real life.
If this sounds like you, head over to http://www.dead.net/testchat and chat on!
Won't work for me :(
I logged in and was gratefulmom dupe... hehe, then I logged out and bac in and I was a guest, now I can't get in it says chatroom window is already open, but I closed it I swear!

heads up folks
Regarding the chat room: when the new version went live, we discovered that people can access the chat room without being logged on to Dead.net. As it usually does, this led to some problems, mainly with drive-by types who came in and posted nasty stuff and vanished.
We thought we had that security hole plugged, as it were, but I'm hearing more reports of strange posts from people no one knows, and I've just had a really alarming PM from one of the ladies here who was in the chatroom, ran into a person with a perfectly legit-sounding name, and was invited to a private chat by said person. No sooner did she get there than he commenced some fairly vile sexual harassment.
Following up, I find we have no such user. Of COURSE.
I have sent up an emergency flare in Jonathan's direction. But meanwhile, we encourage you to exercise some street smarts in the chat room. In particular, do not go into private chats with people you do not know well. Hang out with them in the public chat room to get a sense of who they are.
I'll keep you posted on the technical side, but meanwhile, watch each card etc.
Thank you.
ME with the mod hat on
Thanks for the heads up
marye. There ARE some real oddballs showing up now-people blabbering nonsense and hit-and-run insults. And now at least one instance of harrassment-OY! Am sure the 99.9999% lovely folk here will stick together and beware.**********************************
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Peace,
The Kid
I defer to those who spend more time there on that one
but in the meantime, Jonathan says he has changed some settings and things should be more secure. PLEASE report any problems. Thanks!
reason I`m not there
Some folks are probobley wondering where I am , he`s not in the chat room , maybe he does`nt want to be part of our comunity .. well that is not true , the letters are too small for me ,, even when i change the font they are still too small and it hurts my eye`s .. so that is why I am not there .. I do want to remain part of the comunity , I enjoy it here .. for the most part .. the vine thing has got me frustrated ,, but i do enjoy being here !! well with that said ,, I hope everyone has a wonderful day !! Peace .... Stu .....
Universal Access...
... is what it's called in a Mac, I guess there's an equivalent feature in a PC machine. Anyway, it allows the user to zoom in to make the text bigger. I use it in the chat room, makes it a lot easier to read that tiny font they use there. HTH
Hey Stu!
You are one of the rocks on the vines! You gotta hang in there, miss seeing your early am posts. Knew something was up. Hang in there, like the acrobatic cat you are! Miss ya stu.peace,pk

Hello Hal,
New here, Confused maybe its your signature or something, just passing through this site:
But isn't that a quote from Aldous Huxley? I remember it from the Doors of Perception, in the preface?
Don't have the book, its been like 20 plus years, but I didn't think it was Blake? I thought it was Huxley.
My head hurts.............

what is the "400" on the 09 tour t-shirt?
I have a question?!!We went to the Albany show April 17th. We got t-shirts from inside. My boyfriend got the blue tie-die (skeleton in car...i think) On the back is the list of tour stops. at the bottom is a triple rose pyramid if you will, inside is the number "400". Does anyone know what this means? It is driving us batty!!!
*~Peace & Love*~
