Troggy

hello

Chealion

Hello!

Troggy

This could be a busy chat room once the chat goes public.

Chealion

I'm not so sure

Not at first anyway. I think it will take quite a bit longer to take off than say the SO related rooms.

Knox

I'm not sure either

Troggy

3:44 PM

If a link gets posted at the top of SuperUser for the chat, I am sure it will at least see some activity.

Chealion

@Troggy: That'll definitely see an uptick, but I wonder how many will actually use it.

I'm basing most of my assumptions on the relatively slow activity on meta.superuser

Knox

Hello @Dexter

Chealion

Wow. It's hopping now - 4 people.

Dexter

Hi there

Knox

Once we heard @Chealion was here, of course we had to come

Dexter

3:46 PM

I think I expected to see more people ;-)

Chealion

@Knox: Ha! Who in their right mind wants to hear what I have to say? Definitely a couple minutes.

Knox

You've got me there. And I never claimed to be in my right mind. Interesting that I can edit it. how long can you do that?

Chealion

Editing is kind of neat. Anyone aware of how to get the Super User system user to join the room?

(Like what they have in the Server Fault room)

Knox

My icon (gravatar) is dancing

Knox

ah... completing a send made it stop dancing

Knox

3:51 PM

oh, so the system user is who is posting the questions?

Chealion

In Server Fault, yes.

Knox

and if do one more line my gravatar gets a bit bigger

Chealion

If you do three
lines you get a larger avatar
four lines you even get their reputation
Five I'm not sure.

It appears that a Super User system user hasn't been made yet - only Gaming, Meta.Gaming, and Server Fault.

Knox

do you put markdown in here to get the fancier stuff?

Chealion

You sure can.

Knox

3:57 PM

I need my markdown cheatsheet then :)

Chealion

The FAQ is helpful enough that way. That's about it though.

Knox

thanks, I had scanned the FAQ but missed the part about formatting

Chealion

Hrm. You can add RSS feeds to automatically add items to the chat if you're the room owner. Wonder what rep you need to do that as well.

My meta rep is paltry.

Yup: it works. chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/133/deleteme

Knox

interesting

Knox

my meta rep is as low as you can go.

Chealion

4:04 PM

It's just a feed and not a System User like Server Fault but it'll do for now.

It's enough to get in.

Hi Popular Demand/Lord Torgamus

Popular Demand

Hey.

Popular Demand

What a thrilling chat history.

Knox

do you think that off topics are frowned on? Meaning since this is superuser, we should be discussing superuser and not the weather?

Popular Demand

@Knox yes

Knox

I better be deleting my old entries if @PopularDemand going to be reading them

Popular Demand

4:07 PM

Although I doubt anyone will actually care/complain/do anything about it this early on.

Popular Demand

Buh?

Popular Demand

What's so special about me?

Chealion

Or really ever?

You've got a rep on meta in the 4 digits?

Knox

no, just kidding, i was responding to your "thrilling" comment :)

Popular Demand

@Chealion yes @Knox ah.

Popular Demand

4:09 PM

Does that actually show up for both of you, or does notification only work for one person like in parent site comments?

Knox

I saw it but I don't know the parent site reference

Popular Demand

I just meant any regular non-chat SE site.

Popular Demand

But "parent site" was shorter to type.

Chealion

My name was hilighted for myself.

Popular Demand

Awesome.

Chealion

4:14 PM

@Knox: Was your name hilighted as well (like it would be in this line) @PopularDemand

Hilights for both of you?

Knox

Yes, my name was highlighted when you said @knox ah.

Knox

but @Chealion was not

Chealion

Only your own name will hilight. What we're trying to figure out is if it does hilights for everyone mentioned.

eg. @random @Knox @PopularDemand @Chealion <- Ideally everyone should have their own name hilighted.

Knox

only mine highlited.

random

You only see yours highlighted

Popular Demand

4:18 PM

Yeah I see it.

Zoredache

4:40 PM

@Chealion, to add an RSS feed to a room you need to be an owner or moderator of the room.

random

Which feed do you want added?

Chacha102

Hello people

Hey @random Hows it going?

random

It went northside, but then turned down High Court Avenue before resting at the station.

Popular Demand

I sense a game of Mornington Crescent brewing.

random

That sounds like a right chipper game. Shall we deal the cards?

closed as off-topic. SU is not the place to asking about gaming questions. Try chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/rooms/46/gaming

Popular Demand

4:45 PM

[status-awwwwww]

Chealion

@Zoredache Thanks. I figured that out.

@random Was interested in possibly adding the Super User question feed in here. Completely ignoring any possible issues of it overwhelming or just adding a lot of noise the room itself.

Zoredache

@Chealton, when the per-site chats go up, I was thinking for server fault we would have a room for the question feed, and another room for chat..

random

If the feedsbot is too noisy we can take it to a back room and deal with it.

Chacha102

I got the baseball bat..

random

Okay people, what do you want to name the SU feedsbot?

Chacha102

4:59 PM

Lets call it 'One Faced Man'

Zoredache

Lets call him Bob.

Then give him a logo that is a smiley face with glasses. :)

Chealion

@Zoredache: That makes good sense.

random

5:15 PM

Okay, you may need to reload this room if you want to see the new name of the feedsbot
