naah...its not like party is ever that active...I rarel see more than
a half dozen folks on there at any one time...hardly enough to merit
more than one main channel.  And since anyone can make channels,yoiu'd
still have people allover the place..  Why make things more confusing

I think I'd have to agree, from what I've seen of party since I've come
back to Grex.  I really haven't noticed more than maybe seven people tops
in one channel.  Even with that many people, most of them aren't talking
and I've never had any trouble following what was going on.


#3 of 24 by remmers on Sun Jan 11 23:20:49 1998:

One main channel is fine.


#4 of 24 by other on Mon Jan 12 02:26:32 1998:

If it weren't so easy to create spontaneous channels already, then perhaps
this would help out, but it seems to me the inference one would draw from the
situation is that it is the way it is because that's the way the users choose
to have it.


#5 of 24 by sekari on Mon Jan 12 04:02:05 1998:

i think the idea of a few different primary channels is cool, but i agree
with the previously stated statements in that it isn't really that necessary.

If janc or someone could be enticed into tweaking the party code...
 
What would help me keep up in a busy party is a mode which would mimic 
IRC: when I am typing a response, the lines of others continue to scroll 
up on my screen.  This would have to be an option, since dumb terminals
couldn't use it.

The option of having several main party channels is definitely uncool (this
is a new word or what ?) as you could as well create channels of your own -
besides the main channels don't have anything extra ordinary about it.
Partry is definitely fun with a single main channel and several private
channels. Val - thanks for the suggestion though.

I don't feel it's needed either.  Way back when I was a heavy partier
the few times it got too crowded to follow our conversation just started
another channel.  We really wanted to have our conversation, so we did. 
A few others followed and wandered in and out.  It was good.


#9 of 24 by goofster on Thu Jan 15 00:29:01 1998:

I think one main channel is fine too

My own guess about party channels is that when party does fill up, at least
some of the users are knowledgeable enough to create channels, and invite
others in.

is posible make more chanels in bussiest hors???? if the answer is yes....
do it please


#13 of 24 by other on Fri Jan 16 06:35:23 1998:

in party, just type #channelname
to create a new channel named channelname
anyone can do it.

Well, i think party is all the main channel we need.  If people want a
different channel to talk in with friends or just one other person, they
create it...I think additional main channels would be a waste of time and
energy.  Also, party never has more than 10 people or so in it.  I htink the
biggest problem grex has to deal with right now is the horrible lag it has
been experiencing the last week or so.  


#16 of 24 by tsty on Wed Jan 21 10:27:07 1998:

start in the single big stream, and make your own tributaries as needed.


#17 of 24 by bryteyes on Thu Jan 22 04:26:39 1998:

I do not want another party channel... it would be to hard to find other
people, it will make grex more confusing then it already is.... So Please no
more party channels. People have their own channels to begin with...... Thank
You for your time. The Bryt1

Ok here is the deal..... I see where you are coming from Valerie... I know
when I go into party and 16 people bombart me at once with hello's and are
all talking to me at once it can be very confusing.... BUT it is home.. I
think grex would be weird with more then one party channel... I like grex
*because* it only has one party channel. I used to log on the resort and other
talkers of that nature and there where like 300 users and 20 party channels
... I detest that. It is to impersonal and cold... There are tons of channels
on grex and the people who created them Frequent them very often. i personally
love my channel and as you can see most of the time I am in that channel
talking to one or two people at once.. But that is because I like the one on
one atmosphere as where my boyfriend loves party and loves talking (bugging)
OH did I say THAT???=) to everyone at once. I consider grex a family and party
in is the living room and all the private channels are the bedrooms (so to
speak) . So I think it is fine the way it is. But that is my opinion and I
love how the grex staff is always concerned about what we think. Valerie is
cool and I like her=). Thanks again for offering Bryt1 and I yoru apartment
Val we appreciated it alot and we wont soon forget your hospitality. Thank
you for your Time and Brain space=)

Well I came here thinking it was a good idea to have more than just one main
party channels..but after reading everyone's responses i have to agree with
the lot of them and concur it may not be the best. I do like party as it is.
And if it is decided to have more than one main channel maybe it would be good
to try it out temporarily.  And Megz I like your metaphor about party being
the living room and the personal channels the bedrooms. I couldn't have put
it a better way.

thanks alot Laura your so sweet


#21 of 24 by salai on Sun Feb 15 10:48:54 1998:

Nice suggestion for having multi channels.. I too agree irrespective of so
many responses in rejecting it.. What I am thinking you know friends.. if for
ex. if only four of us want to have privacy discussion its impossible with
currnet single party right??..so why dont we have more channels...This is only
my view...let us all wait for lot of samples and then decide...


#22 of 24 by remmers on Sun Feb 15 11:56:31 1998:

You can always create private channels. The question here is whether
to have more than one main channel. I think the concensus on that is
pretty clear now.


#23 of 24 by vejiita on Sat Feb 21 03:27:01 1998:

Hi...
I vote one party channel instead multiple
There wasn't much people at any given time
I have been on grex for 2 month already...
and only 1 occurances there are more than 15 people
not like my local irc, only a few people but
with multiple enter/return key and just screaming other's name
just like this....
scgggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
long 

















now...get what i mean..valerie ?
partying on grex =nice already
private channel = nice already
multiple channel= hard to find more than 3 people!!! in a channel
trying...=maybe worth it...
sorry for taking up your screen....
