I was wondering if there was any place on the internet where posters of RRC
wen't to chat? Always wondered about this but never heard anything about it.

Thanks!

There's the normal Monday evening chat on IRC but as others I have my
AIM on once in a while and we have been known to use that for
spontaneous chats.

Have Fun!

You can also find a group of coaster enthusiasts on IRC server
irc.magicstar.net in channel #rollercoasters. We don't have a set time
but there is usually people in there later in the evening, ET.

This is just a guess... but don't you all think that "AreAreCChat"
made up that name so that s/he can be a troll on the chat? Looks like
"iWantU2Know" is the same person... or maybe I'm wrong.

You're probably right, Andrea ;-) I never saw the original post, just
Jeff's reply...lol.

Well, more power to him, we like the trolls in the chat, and they
usually don't stay long as we can be vicious.

If it is the same old curmudgeon, don't worry. His act will come shining through in no time and it will be easy to
tell in an instant. Stump him into silence by simply asking him to name his 5 favorite parks and what he likes about
each one.

Two important points, at least in regard to the IRC sessions--

1) Jerry billboards the Monday Night chat here about once a week, so it's
not as though it's any big secret.

2) IRC channels are moderated. If someone comes and trolls the chat, he
won't last long.

Actually, given the apparent condition of Starchat's servers, he might not
last long anyway.....!
