Joining. Every week about the same members are online. Sometimes there are also some coders from the industry and so it's also a nice way to get some contacts in the industry. It starts by one or maybe 2 NY-members opening a chat. All others on their list are invited in or ask for a chat. All members that join in later can be added to the running chat. The great thing about ICQ is that there is nu US or europe limit. I noticed that fridaynight and saturdaynight are popular for chats. They start between 22.00 and 24.00 hours central European time. So in the UK that will be 21.00 and 23.00 hours and if I'm not mistaken the "general time-difference with the US is about 6 hours, so that makes it for US-members between 16.00 and 18.00 hours. Don't pick me on this if I'm mistaken. Remember that sometimes we have a chat with 8 members, other times it's just 2. To be sure you have some members on your list, go to my Public Profile List to get some numbers: http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~madmac Greatings DEnnis..
