Where do you kids all chat these days? When Chatters moved to the The Saloon, we seemed to lose visibility of a fairly well populated chat program, and with it quite a few regular chatter types.
In particular I'm interested to hear where you guys would go (aside from the usual forums etc) if you needed a quick bit of help debugging something, some design philosophy talk, discussions on which library is better etc?
Lurkers like me gotta lurk, and have no-where to do so that has new developers popping in and saying hi now. =(
That'd be great, cheers!

Whenever it's hosted, I sit in Conversator by Ghtry. So far it appears to be the best-written chat program.

Trillian.

I'm interested in this as well. What are our most popular chrooms right now?
| |
I haven't really been in The Saloon much lately. Whenever I do log in every single person is AFK.
Whenever I have debug problem I'll usually bounce a few things off D4RK3 54B3R, but when he's offline I roll up my sleeves and start digging through the forum archives. Now that I think about it, there isn't really "go to" place for developers to chat anymore. It's all kinda fragmented and disorganized. | |
There was one. I just forgot the name, but I've only visited it once.
There were plenty developers in there, and they were active and chatting, only a few AFK. I just can't remember the blasted name. | |
Teka Co Chat. That's where I go(Not like I'm an important person or w/e). But I chat with several developers or programmers there.
| |
I go to teka co chat but there all AFK there and the saloon is ok but i like to see a new chat
| |
I don't feel like we need any more chats, we just need one to be done properly and hosted enough to make a difference. There are a million of them on the hub.
Also trillian | |
One chat room to unite them all....
But yeah, whenever I pop online I've also noticed the old guys aren't usually around so I just leave. So I guess still lurkin'. | |

Iain had a similar concept with ... that thing, whose name I cannot remember. =|
You people need more memorable project names, rename TRC to "Explosions and Badass" or something. | |

I'd go to my msn messenger list.

Other than that, I recommend Conversator. When it's hosted, I, along with a few other developers, hang out there regularly, and help out new developers as they pop in and out. | |
I still have the source code for Artemis, don't know how old it is though.
| |
Artemis had a connection issue I never fully - You know what? Long explanation not needed, just use Gaku's TRC. It works.
| |
TRC doesn't have the brand name of Chatters or the style points of Artemis.

I'll get back to you with the name if I find it.
