Hey, new guy here

[chris19ny]

heh, I was just doin a bit of late at night perusing and happened to stumble onto this site. Pretty cool place, u seem like a bunch of nice, relaxed, funny and sexy chubby guys. Hope to get to know a few of you much better. For anyone inquiring i'm just the average chaser, though have recently ballooned to 200lbs at 5'5. One suggestion I would make to the site was to have perhaps a stories section, besides the funny stuffwhich is good. Nice meeting you all, take care :rolleyes: and peace out :cool:

[GettinBIG]

[doughboy]

Welcome! I can't say it better than the others have said, but it's true... if you have questions, just ask us.

[Omniscient]

Yeah chris, a stories section is good!! Or some kind of private chat thingie here on this site!

[Big_fat_kiddo]

Yeah, stories would be very good! Not that i'll be someone to write one because i get bored after a few lines, and i can't make up something good :p

But still, it would be good to have a section like that. And i will definitly read the stories, and i love rating them aswell :)

[Guts]

I'll add a stories section, and see how it goes - hopefully some budding authors will contribute.

I'm still looking for a "decent" chat program to integrate here - there doesn't seem to be many suitable ones available.

If you don't mind the style in which the chat on my site works, I can set up a page with corresponding DNS aliases for you..

See:
http://irc.bellybuilders.com/
http://chat.au.bellybuilders.com/
... I also rigged up the chat for hungryfeedee.net before the owner pulled it ...
All the above also work as hostnames to plug into an IRC chat program (running on ports 6665-6669, 7000 and 65530), and the server has services daemons running. With a webserver on the same machine as the chat server, removes need for java applets to be signed.

... Incidentally - each separate chat page has its own channel, and these channels aren't visible in a /list to people outside the channels to stop wandering port scanners finding them - but if you know the channel names, you can connect to the multiple channels at once.

Thank you, I certainly appreciate the offer however, I personally don't like irc and the associated java overhead. Many thanks though :)

[LrgrThnLf]

Fair enough.. Some of the java stuff can be pretty dodgy - and yeah, the overhead kinda btes :)

What I will say tho, is that IRC, being an RFC'd protocol is supported by heaps of different clients on heaps of different platforms which makes it very compatible beyond the java front end. It also doesn't suffer the problem with web caches, concurrent file access etc. that wholly server side, html output solutions that work on flat files do. Also requires that people have their browsers open etc.

Flash based solutions could be a possibility - tho then you're tied to a specific plugin.. then again, flash is available for linux, windows and mac - so not too many problems there :)

Either way, in end, just avoid something that requires ActiveX - or you wipe out everyone but windows users :) ... ActiveX is evil anyway :)

[Guts]

Yeah, ActiveX wouldn't be considered here - I'm leaning towards something very simple like a php/javascript combination.
