Folks, I have been working on an improved version of sleuth chat.

It can be found here:
http://busyplanet.org/chat

You can make up your own user name, and password when signing up. Please use your detective name.

The old sleuth chat had more then a 100 subscribers. However, the problem is. If everybody just logs in to see someone is there, and then immediately logs out after they found out there isn't. Then it is really really hard....to ever catch anyone. Unless you both happen to catch each other the few seconds you both are logged in. So my advise, open a second browser window, and stay logged in.

The sleuthchat site on MSN I have now abandoned. It wasn't user friendly at all, too much signing in stuff, too much java stuff etc. This also allowed me to made the chat site look like sleuth, and allowed me to create several rooms (include more private ones) with names I am sure you recognize.

Though I can not spot any at this time, I may have to iron out a few bugs, when people start using it.

Enjoy!

Glad to see so many people already signed up, of which I only have caught a few myself: Lady E, DaRu, TNT, Dione Dawson, and Jake Fenton. YAY!

Well, now that you've advertised it, jstkdn, there's bound to be more people on it than just me. I had a window for it open for hours at a time, but I found no one. I'm sure that'll change forever. =P

Yeah turns out that the chat room is turning in to great fun, and has provided the opportunity for people to get to know each other a little better, have some more immediate interaction, and help the newbies out.

Now there are already some technical difficulties that seem to pop up once in a while. Once in a while, everybody gets kicked out, and when trying to log back in they can't, or they user name and pass are listed as non-existent or wrong. All it takes is to try again a little later.

I already looked at it with the tech support of my host. But as the problem then didn't pop up, we could not get to the bottom of the issue. Next time it happens I will pull those guys in. Currently, I have no idea what is causing it.

I am apologizing that it is not perfect. I will keep having it open for business. As the problem doesn't seem to occur to often, and resolves itself after about 10-15 minutes.

So if you get booted out, or can't get in. Try again a little later.
