I think they did, but I couldn't tell you when it actually happened. I remember a bunch of people who couldn't get into chat for the longest time. I don't know if they ever got that fixed or not.
The only issue we've had with Ajax Chat and Beehive is when someone actually logs out of chat they can't get back into it until they dump their cookies, then log back into the forums. So we just go rid of the logout button in the chat and told people not to log out. The system eventually removes them from the room, but they can still come back in later, unless a mod kicks them, then they're out for 24hrs.
I go through Delphi once in a great while to say Hello to a few and drop promotional links. Otherwise, I don't bother with the place. The final straw for me was when they started the member packages and I paid for one, then they changed it the next week and took away half of what I paid for in the process. I asked for a refund, and got crap about it. They'll never see another cent from me. In my opinion, they can't be trusted in any sense of the word.
I did get asked at one point why Beehive wasn't automated like Delphi, click a few buttons and set up a forum, and I told them Beehive is set up to give the users freedom but the site owner control. This makes it possible for the site owner to protect the site and the people who use it. I'm glad Beehive isn't automated creation of forums by any member. I like being able to tell bad people you can't have a forum on my site, like pedophiles and such. I hope Beehive never becomes automated like Delphi and similar places. Beehive is a much better system all around.
Where am I and who are all these people? :S
"who are all these /fabulous/ people"
FTFU
(hairy) arse!
Check in semi-regularly and have a thread or two to add but too busy with work. :(
I would check in more often, but I'm too busy getting the preparations for Teh Forum Awards 2007 sorted out. Takes time, y'know? Had been planning on getting PWC involved, but after the Oscars, I think they might be a bit shambolic, and we don't want that, do we?
I still pop by occasionally but I'm trying to live my life according to the idea that it's pointless saying anything unless what you have to say is interesting.
Which it usually isn't.
And I find it easier to deal with my moodiness/depression by never talking about it and screwing it into a tiny ball of frustration and then storing it in some deep dark corner of my psyche while avoiding people who might, conceivably, be bothered about me.
But we do miss you being in here (YJ)..
'lo. I pop in every few months but I've just added Teh to my startup tabs in Chrome, so will be here a lot more now. Been busy, got married, had a daughter (that hurt), lots of adulting, work etc. Glad to see so many familiar usernames.
As everyone else is meandering down Memory Lane... I joined the PCF Forum after installing Steve Guntrip's Doorz 3000 explorer.exe-replacement shell from the cover-disc and wanted to find out more. Or maybe wanted to change it back, I forget. It was very yellow.
I think I earned 5 dragon points when that was a thing. They were a lot harder to redeem for goods and services than the tremendous artwork would lead you to believe.
I met Xenophon once, like IRL, he made excellent tea, and we discussed why mint was considered to be a fresh smell. We eventually mooted the concept of bacon-flavoured toothpaste.
