Hello, my name is Axel, and I hate MSN. It crashes, it randomly signs me off, and it gives me a terrible headache every time I use it. So, I got this weird idea; What if we made an Instant Messenger, exclusively for the Klik Community?
I mean an IM where you don't have to put up with 12-year old girls and idiots, but a small IM where you can just hang out with klikkers! We could make this awesome thing with everything an IM needs; contact lists, large convos, tabs, smileys and other nice stuff. I mean, why not? We could make a small team of coders and artists (apps need graphics to eh?) and do this thing, just for the hell of it.
So, what do you think? Is it worth a shot, or is it just another stupid idea from Mr Axel?

Good idea, actually. Could use a link to the IRC channel in it somewhere, too.
Would be a cool idea - although, I have no problems with MSN personally - so I wouldn't really use a klik IM. However, if say it was an application like for klikers to gather and they can join different rooms and chat in groups, that'd be better imo.
This has been done many times before and suffers from 1 particular issue and that is that it's not compadable with AIM or MSN, so unless everyone jumps on at the same time, they get bored and sign off. We have a little chat here on TDC, but no one ever uses it for the same reason I just said.
Not worth it. Probably the first DirectPlay project I've worked on. Wait till klik chat chans like #k&p and #tdc get more than 20 people at one time again... THEN you discuss it with those chatters. Till then, I really don't think it's worth the effort.
Besides, I think some guys tried something similar with a TDC game thing. They still have a forum for it here and the last post was on 5 Aug.

Yeah, I totally understand that. But the TDC game didn't get stuck because nobody wanted to use it, but because it was never even released I know there is a way to communicate with IRC servers from within klik games, I've seen it in the TDC vitalized chat client, and Seek and Dread online, so that'd be a cool feature.
But what I wanted to do is not just another Moo chat app, but we could form a team, and make something really cool. Something for the whole community. Something special. Well, those interested can meet me on MSN (Irony, irony) under the same adress as in my profile, so we can see what we could do to make this interesting enough for people to bother with.
And if anyone knows how to make IRC chats in MMF, please take contact too
Well the reason TDC game never progressed was because nobody had time to help develop it - maybe we could somehow turn this idea into TDC game? Obviously it wouldn't be a game.. but you know.. Whatever
