From: Shenass...@worlnet.att.net Date: May 30, 1997 To: soc.religion.bahai Subject: Chat Rooms Alla'u'Abha. We would like to know if there are active Baha'i chat rooms on the net. We found one, but never seem to find anyone in it! We've heard there are others but don't know how to find them. Any guidance & info will be greatly appreciated. F.Y.I. we are both Baha'is, so we will be interested in chat groups/ rooms for Baha'is only as well as open Fireside type forums. Please feel free to respond to us via private email as well as here in the NG. T.I.A. Cheryl & Mehrdad ---- From: Gata Date: May 31, 1997 To: soc.religion.bahai Subject: Re: Chat Rooms There are several Baha'i chats on the Internet - IRC for one, but I don't know much about it. However, on AOL there has been an ongoing one-hour Baha'i Chat every Monday at 10:30 p.m. E.T. (I am one of the three hosts) for three and one-half years. There are also several other impromptu chats set up on AOL, almost every night in People Connection. I also believe that Prodigy, Compuserve and MSN also have Baha'i chats, but as I am only on AOL, I don't have direct information about them. Perhaps someone else can help. If you have access to AOL, it would be lovely to have you visit us during our Baha'i chat. Warm regards, Shirley Macias (Los Angeles) ga...@aol.com aka RBCF Ga...@aol.com ---- From: Ronald D.

It is open 24 hours a day. The "people" with "@" are not humans, but Bots who assist in looking after the channel, so please do not be offended when "They" do not return your chats.. You will need a piece of software to get onto IRC and for PC users the most common is Pirch or Mirc (http://www.mirc.co.uk) Both are shareware. You will put in a "nick" nickname to use on IRC . Mine is "fragrant" so you can look out for me. -- Graham Sorenson Baha'i Faith Web pages, lots of them, can be found at:- http://www.fragrant.demon.co.uk/bahai.html my site is now getting over 1300 visitors per week. http://www.bahai.org --- http://www.bcca.org/~glittle http://www.bcca.org/~cvoogt ---- From: StilS...@aol.com Date: May 31, 1997 To: soc.religion.bahai Subject: Re: Chat Rooms In reply to the chat rooms for Baha'is. On AOL there are several. I created one called Baha'is online because I was seeking Baha'i rooms and couldn't find any. No one came to my room. Then I requested assistance in finding chat rooms for Baha'is and my request was answered and am now in touch with many Baha'is. We created a speciall room just for Baha'is with every day chit chat. It is a private room called Bahai Coffee House. All are welcome. StilSerene ---- From: Kimberley Berry Date: May 31, 1997 To: soc.religion.bahai Subject: Re: Chat Rooms "Ronald D.

Many wonderful, knowledgeble people there and it's open 24 hours! I think it also depends which server you're using, so try: irc.voicenet.com and see what happens. Hope to "see" you there! ---- From: Gata Date: Jun 1, 1997 To: soc.religion.bahai Subject: Re: Chat Rooms >>H-m-m-m-m, now I'm really confused (hey, that's not hard to >>accomplish ;-D) I thought that once one is on the internet, one has access to the whole WWW. What I'm getting from your statement is that this is a myth. In order to talk to you in an AOL chat-room, I have to be on AOL. Uh-oh! Maybe I should call AT&T and find out HOW to get there from Worldnet. Is there a specific address? Where should I tell the tech people I'm trying to go? Any defining info will probably help them help me. Thanks so Much, CRSS << Dear CRSS: AOL, Prodigy, Compuserve & MSN (and a few others, I think) have their own proprietory access to the Internet and the Web. Other servers, such as Worldnet, and many many others give you access to the Internet and the Web, but not directly to AOL, etc., which charge a monthly fee. Although on AOL I can communicate to everyone via the Internet by e-mail and can access all Web sites, unless I am a member of Prodigy, Compuserve or MSN, I cannot access them from AOL. However, I have noticed that you have had other replies regarding Baha'i chats in other locations.

I tried to go there and got a message saying something to the effect that the address was wrong, but come on in and look around . . . yadi-yada-yada. Please, check for typos and repost this address for me and other interested souls.

You will need a computer using Windows-95, unfortunately. This will change in the future. There are no set meeting times right now, but that will change next week.

I haven't frequented the IRC in a while, but there used to be a couple Baha'i chat rooms on EFnet.(kind of a world wide chat room). You can get to Efnet with most IRC clients. I used to use MIrc, but there are others you can find on the web. Then just try connecting to all the Efnet sites you can find until one lets you in. (The Efnet is usually really loaded on most servers, so finding a server with room is not always that easy. The newer servers usually have the most room, so keeop an eye out for postings of new irc servers with Efnet access) Anyway once you do that you can usually find one or more Bahai chat rooms listed (type "/list"). There are probably other ways to get on Efnet by now, but like I said. It's been a while since I've been to one. If I have time, I'll check it out today, and give better instructions. If the baha'i chat groups are still there that is. Anyway, you don't have to be on AOL to get to the Efnet Talk to you later, Chris Shen...@worlnet.att.net wrote in article <"UkOHHB.A._lD.j_Zkz"@bounty>... ---- From: Chris Strolia-Davis Date: Jun 9, 1997 To: soc.religion.bahai Subject: Re: Chat Rooms Oops, sorry everyone, I hadn't noticed Rachel's Post.

I have been and had a look at this IRC thingy, and see that it is alive and well. I had a couple of hours yesterday speaking to those who frequent the area, and have met some lovely folks. If I see you in there, I would like to chat with you too. Best Regards, TeeCee
