It may be easier to set up a DS Mail group. A group of interested
folks that discuss Dark Shadows, etc.
- Everyone in the group is part of the cc: list and when you post a
reply to the group via E-Mail you remember to include the cc: list.
- Everyone doesn't have to be online at the same time.
- All of the messages are in your mailbox. When you can't get to your
mail it waits for you - over vacations and such.
- I'd be interested even though I'm by no means an expert.

Re: all of the above remarks, I'm new to the DS Newsgroup. I, too, was
surprised to not find a DS chat channel. I came from the on-line group,
Prodigy. On that service, we had a DS bb (equivalent of a newsgroup), plus
on a designated night of each week, at a designated time, we all agreed to
meet in a private chat room. We still do. It works really well. I agree
that we could set up a DS mail group, but I just wanted to let you know how
we handled a chat room on that on-line service, in case anyone WAS
interested.

Actually, a DS mailing list already exists (details are in the FAQ, I
believe), but it's been inactive for several months due to server
problems.

Hi! This sounds like it would be fun. Perhaps some week we could play trivia
even though I'm lousy at it! :) Or come as DS characters. Anyhow, any night but
Thursday is usually OK for me.

Regarding the chat room, I think we should start out setting up a time
(9pm EST for instance) on Thursdays nights on the undernet. I'll be
there this Thursday (tomorrow) and the following Thursday (if I can).
I'm not a real expert, but I hang out on #highlander all the time.
Anybody can create an impromptu channel. It probably ought to be
called #dark_shadows. If it is popular, I can try to get it
registered, in which case it will always be there even if nobody is
there at the time.
Here is some IRC info for you. I strongly suggest using mIRC as your
client, if you are running Windows. Go to http://www-2.
nijenrode.nl/software/mirc/ to get a copy (it's freeware). You should
use the server closest to you. I'm sorry I don't have any servers
other than U.S. and Canadian listed. Please try
http://servers.undernet.org/server-list.html if you need a more
comprehensive list of servers. Another great site is
http://www.undernet.org which has a whole bunch of info regarding the
undernet.
******To get to the UNDERNET here`s a list of the servers:

So any volunteers to start a Dark Shadows irc chat channel? What time would be best for most people?
What day of the week? Should we tally up votes for days and times to see which would work for the
largest number?
Hilda
Any interested patries can E-Mail me at JSch...@ix.netcom.com.
