Hi Scottwa2468.

Well, there's this forum and the IRC channel already...

Agreed.

In my opinion neither resource is being used as much as it could be, so muddying the waters even further by having yet another forum wouldn't be a good thing.

Did you have anything in particular in mind, Scott, when you suggested Yahoo?

I can't remeber if I've seen you in the IRC channel or not but if you haven't and want some help connecting, just let us know!

Just get MSN Messenger, get an account and when people are online you can chat to them.

Hey,
So you need an msn account to use the IRC Channel.. then what?
I don't use msn anywhere near as much as Yahoo, I cant get any help with using the pre-existing IRC Channel, maybe it is a good idea to have an actual chatroom on yahoo as well?
Just suggesting ideas to cover everyones taste... :)

Umm. No. I think we're getting our wires crossed here. You don't need to use MSN to use IRC. Under Windows, most people use MIRC. Download and install that and you should be able to click irc://au.austnet.org/radioscanner
