Totally forgot about chat stats.

And...

BEARS WIN..

The new Firefox browser update has hosed the java chat applet on my page.

“Beginning in Firefox version 52, support for NPAPI plugins in Firefox has ended, except for Adobe Flash. Some of the plugins that will no longer load include Java, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Acrobat. See this compatibility document for details.”

Also I had to update the mibbit link because one of starfyre’s servers is set to SSL only.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.

This is the new mibbit chat link.

Sorry about the java issue. I’ll try to work out a solution before the draft.

Here’s a compilation of chat stats from the 2016 season.

I guess I’ll need to remove the Cutler/Jeffery fans blocks.

Are you ready for the draft chat?!?
Unfortunately the Chrome & the latest Firefox browsers are now blocking java applets. Java chat will still work using the debunked internet explorer browser IF you haven’t updated java past version 8 update 121. Be careful with internet explorer since Microsoft is no longer updating it since its spamming edge browser debut.
I added a mibbit iframe to my page so there’s a mibbit chat window there too instead of only a link.

I thought some would prefer it to the mibbit site link here.

I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again! As usual it’s been a long wait for the draft. Hopefully the Bears do better than in previous years and select some starting athletes that don't end up on the injury report.

Road, God damnit, my laptop crapped out on me! I'm in a panic to get it fixed so I can join tonight. Worst case scenario, I'll be there via cellphone

Can't wait!!

Also, I got the java applet to work with Firefox, FWIW.

I...will be at a softball double header tonight. So. FML.

Dude...

(cellphone)

Works on firefox for me too. See you in a few hours.

Looking after my toddler in the morning, knackered and hungover, is going to be amazing!

G08: glad you got the java to work on firefox. All I can figure is you don't have auto update ticked.
malk: you connected with the mibbit connection. That works on any browser still, mibbit doesn't use java.
wab: too bad dude! you're an awesome Dad!

I'm heading to the grocery store to stock up on munchies for tonight!

FYI: The live chat link below the BFO banner on the forum page no longer connects to the chat room.
Use one of these links.

The charter link has both java & mibbit connections. People without java or an updated browser blocking java will only see the mibbit connection.

See yas in a bit!

Maybe I found a way of making the java chat applet work again for some of you. It's working on all 3 of my systems now.

I wrote up this page and thought maybe someone might want to try it before tonights Trubrisky show.

all this work so people can literally hear goat sounds.

Well, WELL worth it my man!!

Does this work on mobile?

I admit I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer and my driveway doesn’t go all the way to the garage. There are a few more sounds in the chat than just goats.

You can access the chat from any device if you have the right program. I use AndChat on my android phone. Just configure your device to point at irc.starfyre.org and join channel #Monstershow. The mibbit webpage doesn’t work real well from a phone just because the type is too small.

That sure was an ugly end to the preseason tonight. Those browns look extra mean this year. After they already roughed Mitch out of bounds. I wasn’t pleased to see him have to reenter the game when Shaw went down.

How soon before game does chat open up?

Chatroom's open man.

What's up with the chat room guys? I cannot connect.

No probs, I'm in using the link UOK posted.

I'll update link on page one soon.

Trying to connect via AndChat. Thought it'd be a case of pointing the address at irc.starfyre.org then joining the channel. Instead it just states disconnected: connection refused.

What rookie mistake am I making?

It does but I had an issue with the android client. Road sorted me out though, all good.

Fucking Charter Spectrum is killing my personal web space and the java chat page.

I got a postcard from them today.

“ATTENTION: Spectrum Web Space to be discontinued.”
“This announcement is to inform you that the Spectrum Web Space service will be discontinued and access to the platform will be suspended on July 1, 2018.”

It goes on telling me to move my data to a 3rd party web hosting provider.

The chat will still be there but access can only be from the mibbit link

http://widget00.mibbit.com/?settings=e8 ... onstershow" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

or an IRC chat program.

There’s only a few people that still use the java site and I’m sorry but I’m not going to pay for web space to keep it running.

It was fun while it lasted!
Thanks for your support through all the years.
I've met a lot of good people!

Bummer! So just to be clear, the chat will still be there from a program like mIRC and the mibbit link, but the Java one is dead? Or is the whole thing gone?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO@!$&!@##@?$^&*!@#$@

What options do we have, Road? Can someone who has more IRC savvy than me generate a script that still is able to play the sounds, etc? It would involve sending out the sound files and storing them in the same folder IF someone knows how to add those commands in a script.

I used to run scripts in another life but I don't remember a God damned thing about it these days.

There's a group text app called groupme that works real well as a chat forum. It's simple and easy to use, just need to add people with their cell phone number.

The chat is still alive and well but only through the mibbit link or a real IRC chat program like mIRC, Icechat or something like andchat for your phone.

G08, mIRC will play all the sounds but I'd have to send them to you and you'd have to drop them into your mirc/sounds folder. mIRC charges $10 I believe for a lifetime but I believe it can be used without registering. You just have to wait about 30 seconds for the register screen to die.

Thanks Atkins&Rebels but I'm not giving out my cell phone number for any app.

I wrote this page to help newbies setup mirc a long time ago.

If anyone wants to go that route the page should be up 'til fucking charter kills it on July 1st.

The router setup at the end of the instructions isn’t necessary. I can just zip the sounds and email them to you.

I have zero problem with that. I'll be good God damned before I watch a Bears game without the sounds of a goat fornicating with what I presume to be some smoking hot blonde woman
