Does anyone want to be part of it? For one thing the font can be bigger on this other network.

    Can you tell us more about your idea? Did you know that FB has a couple of private groups made up of mainly OA members?

    Oh really? Well, I'm thinking more of a chat format. I had an OA chat before, I'm just thinking of doing another one :)

    I'd be interested in taking part. If & when you get it up and running post a link to your profile, or even send me a PM with the link.

    I'm game :o)

    http://www.facebook.com/groups/467046366657633/ is where you can find the FB/OA group (not official of course) that I am in. Excellent support.

    Ok, there's a network on irc called MIBBIT. I already have a chat group on it (hehe, I'm the only one that goes to it! Hehe). But right, I should just put up an OA room there, and register it.

    The only problem is that I could not lead ALL the OA chats. I would love to send it off to the OA WS - so they could advertise it. It's very easy to get to on mibbit.

    Let me get some feedback friends. I'm feeling a bit sluggish this morning :)

    I'm interested. At 9 pm pst, I was looking at my eyelids..... Can we set up a regular time? I love online meetings!

    I love them too. I'd be game for an OL meeting among MFP folks.
    For those who don't know, I have a group here called ODAAT - it would be great if we could post. I was posting for a little while, and then I noticed no one posted .... can you help the group keep going?

    Yes, let's set up a regular time. 9 pm PST would be good for me. I'm there right now if anyone is interested & needs to chat.

    While I love OA, I think OA *with* MFP are a little more different. Some OA members don't really support cal counting and some OA people don't like talking about MFP.

    9 pm PST, be there or be square! :)

    If there are requests for other times let me know here. Let's do this!

    One thing that's really good about this chat is that the font will get larger if you want it too. The java chats on 12steps & TRG are limited by the java software. You can also change your color prefs too.

    The typing chat meetings move too slowly for me. I always end up opening a new tab to double task and forget about the 'meeting'! I'd be more inclined to do some kind of video chat where I can see other people's faces. I didn't realize that chat meant typing. Sorry.

    I'd love a meeting, but can't be up at midnight!
