Site improvements

I know were all on at different times, but it would be cool to have a chat feature. We could set a time on lets say a Friday and have the members talk. Its just an idea and I have no clue about how much time it would take, if its possible and if anyone is interested.

If anyone is interested, I own IRC Dalnet #Daewootech for chat. :)

If you are using Windows, download mIRC from www.mirc.com/get.html

Install the program.
Fill out the boxes it asks for and remember to make sure the Enable Identd server box is checked.

Connect to the Dalnet network, either with the drop down menu listed on the IRC SERVERS list, or by typing:
/server mesra.dal.net
or
/server jade.dal.net

Then once it is connected, type:
/join #Daewootech

I will post pics of each step in here as soon as my server's FTP login is available again (they are doing upgrades right now).

If you need help or have any questions, please ask. :)

I hope to see you there!

I suggested mIRC because most people use Windows.
Personally, I like Vision much better, but it is only for BeOS & Zeta.
It has the ability to have multiple servers connected at once and below that, it has an AIM style buddy list of everyone on your notify list. :)

Well, while we are throwing up some possible inprovements to the site heres some of my ideas,

An online store, for stickers ETC
sponserships, you pay to join the club get stickers, ans save on some online purchases for example only sayin online as many of us dont live close to oneanother, but if we got a few online sponsers that would be awesome,

not sayin everyone should pay to use the site, but if you collected from those who would consider this a sponser and they could get some discounted parts>? just an idea
