Is that a totally different site than here? Seemed very cheesy. |
|
the chat system links to the old IRC <internet rely chat> system. if you used the link from arfcom you loaded a java client that allows you access to the system. irc has been around almost as long as the net. IIRC it predates html and dates back to the gopher days or earlier |
I did link to the java site, still seems years behind what the discussion board site is. IMHO, ar15.com has perfected the discussion forum space, there is nothing out there I see that tops it. Chat feels like a time-warp back to 1997 to me, no offense, just constructive feedback. |
non taken thats pretty much right on. the difference is chat is live and real time. it tends to flow quicker than a message board like this. as for feeling old..... my first moden was 300bd with a telco coupler for a handset. <it only fit the old ma bell desk type rotary phones. |
