Cartilage Head: Hey guys.
-
I don't know what that is.
-
I can't even find it. Stupid AIM. What is userplane? Why can't things just be easy?
-
I found where you go to get to the chat, but apparently the room named "qcforums" does not exist. What the hell Tommy, what the hell?
-
See it doesn't exist for me either.
-
Mmkay, I added that Pidgin thing and got into the room. All is well.
-
I installed Pidgin and was able to join, but it did NOT work when I tried to join through Trillian. I ended up alone in a room by myself. It appears that this is an "exchange 4" chat room, whatever that means, while Trillian defaults to exchange 5...
-
Somebody invite me. I'm PubliusTitus (I'm using Adium but I think it'll work).
-
Whats is gabbly?
is it similar to adium?
-
gabbly is an annoying spambot
-
that is usually broken
-
gabber12857 joined
gabber12857 is now BK

Gabber42 joined.
Gabber42 is mberan42.
mberan42: Hey Gabbly.
-
mberan42: peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenk!
-
[color= greem]calenlass[/color]: guys wtf
-
I'd suggest to just get into the AIM room set up.
qcforums
go.
-
BK: you are doing it wrong calenlass
-
uh, greem is right
-
Hat: Sup sluts
-
Who the hell is this sanjaygupta dude and what does he want with our gabbly?
Also: what the hell, gabbly? Why won't you work?! Neither private nor public qc gabbly work for me.
Plus: I'm too lazy to figure out that whole AIM chat thing. Doubleplus: my AIM screen name was chosen over 13 years ago by me and I'm a bit ashamed at it. So I wouldn't want to enter a chat room with a non-Matt screen name.
-
BK: damnit
I nver get blue
never
-
mberan42: oh shit I did it wrong
sorry guys
I need to go to bed now.
Night, gabbly.
-
Guys Tommy is the emperor and everyone on gabbly is his new clothes.
Everyone just claims to have the chat box so they can pretend to be on the in-and-in, but really, you are just helping disguise a naked miniature british man. No one ever chats with anybody. If anyone has told you different, they are lying in the vain hopes that it will improve your opinion of them.
This is me calling you out right now, Tommy, your clothes aren't real and you are naked. Naked on the internet.
-
I can't figure this shit out. Half the time this userplane page thing won't even load. Bad enough that I had to log in through AIM itself.
-
[color= greem]calenlass[/color]: I cannot even get into the AIM chatroom anymore. What the fucking fuck.
-
Just keep reading James's last post in this thread. It's beautiful.
-
how do you get to the gabbly thing?
-
You don't. That's the point of this thread. Gabbly is horribly broken.
-
gabber643 joined
gabber643 is now Ozy Magic!
Ozy Magic!: DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKS
-
BK: god damnit new people, I thought I taught you better then this
-
i meant normally, if it was working :|
-
if it was working
Hahahahahaha

hey guys, im not dead

Gabber 324 has joined.
Gabber 324 is now Fucktron 2000.
Fucktron 2000 : How is everyone's mothers today?

Fucktron 2000 is now Hunter.
Hunter : yeah...
Hunter has left.
-
Cartilage Head is now Keifefer
Keifefer is now Kieffer
Kieffer: I like to rape.
-
YOU GUYS. COME AND PLAY WITH ME AGAIN.
I MISS YOU GUYS. FUCK AIM.
I COULD TAKE AOL'S PANSY ASS IN A FIGHT ANYTIME.
IN FACT, I'M GOING TO GO AND BEAT UP AIM AT LUNCH TIME SO MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL BE MY FRIENDS AGAIN.

gabbly is an annoying spambot
Fuck you too, Mr. Joe Hocking.
-
gabber214 has joined.
gabber214 is now MS | Work
MS | Work : Hi gabbly.
-
No dude, you got it all wrong. Calling Kieffer a dick is the new Airline Food routine.
-
Basically what Mr. Dski is saying is stop using rape as a punchline.
You may continue calling Kieffer a dick, though.
-
Well yeah, but who else could we pick on to gain our amusement other than Filthy Joe Hocking?
-
If you are using trillian, just click this link and it will take you to an exchange 4 room:
aim:gochat?roomname=qcforums&exchange=4 (http://aim:gochat?roomname=qcforums&exchange=4)
It should work for every one else as well.
-
Seriously, is rape like the Airline Food routine on this forum now?
Y'know, I think you have a point. I've certainly been given to using rape as a punchline lately, and it is sort of like saying "gay" as an insult.

A Cross Section of American Culture: "The Bro"
:-D: Yo, check it out: this chick in the lecture I was just in -- huge tits, bro.
:mrgreen:: Yeah?
:-D: Yeah. Fucking bombs.
:mrgreen:: That's it? That's the story? I mean, I like tits, but there's gotta be a point to a story, man.
:-D, after long pause: ... Fag.
-
You dishonor T-rex with your chicanery.
-
The bro should more or less look like this: 8-)
they're smug little bastards.
-
Whoa, how the hell does a Mac user get into the chat room? Without gabbly around, things are far more complicated than they need to be.
-
i think i might be the only one in there...
-
no. i have AIM for macs. It bites but you should use Adium. it cuts down on disconnections and crashes.
-
How do you get Adium to work with this?
-
you just go click "adium">"Prefernces" and click "accounts".
from there you can add your SN and password.
-
I understand this. I don't understand how to get into the chat from Adium.
-
file
join group chat
called qc forums
-
There's no one there. Do I need a later version of Adium?
-
I've got the same problem, I doubt it's just you.
-
It may be because no ones in there. Whats your SN? I'll make a new room and invite you.
Edit.: its up. post your SN and I'll invite.
-
WHO ARE YOU
-
no. i have AIM for macs. It bites but you should use Adium. it cuts down on disconnections and crashes.
I was under the impression that except for file transfers, Adium is pretty much the most resilient and sound option for chat programs. It covers every single chat program I can think of except IRC.
-
Gabbly seems to be loading again.
-

Sorry, what i meant to say, is that AIM sucks for Macs, and adium helps cut down on disconnects and crashes.
-
I thought that's what she said...
-
it may be, but I've already gotten used to the AIM chat thing through Pidgin...
-
I am in the AIM room using Adium, you other Mac users are apparently weak sauce. Ruyi described how I did it except there was no space in "qcforums."
-
The good news is that Gabbly is now loading for me.
The bad news is that no one is there. I don't even show up on the list.
-
Sorry matey! I cannot get either the regular or private gabbloboxes to load still.
-
It's fixed.
-
Gabbly appears to be fully armed and operational.
-
Gabbly is working for me now as well.
-
still nothing, here.
-
Yeah definitely no on the loadin.
-
People who it won't load for, clear your cookies and cache. This will fix your issue most likely.
(It did for me last time Gabbly shat the bed)
-
Err, why not Tommy?
I remember when Gabbly broke for an extended period of time last time and eventually got fixed, people were saying how they're on it but it wouldn't work for me. Then I cleared my cookies and it worked fine.
I guess they update the code in order to fix it and it's cached in your browser till you refresh it.
-
Normally, when you clean your cache and whatwhat, there is an option to keep saved passwords.
At least, there is when you are using a decent browser. (http://www.firefox.org)
-
the newest version of Internet Explorer also has that option, in case anyone besides me doesn't use Firefox.
-
I deleted the specific gabbly cookies, and then Ctrl-F5'd the page, and now I can talk. Hannah is in there right now. The only problem I see is that it doesn't tell you who else is in the room. Yet, it's very talkable.
-
Someone come talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Actually, it's been loading for me for the past few days, just not telling me anyone else was there or showing what we typed (we experimented while talking in the AIM room), so it was like a private little gabbly-thing. But now other people are able to talk. Come talk!
-
Deleting cookies logs you out of sites that you have set to "always stay logged in" to, which can be a minor pain even if you don't delete saved passwords. That said, when I worked in tech support for a web based application, 90% of the calls I got consisted of
Caller: "Such and such isn't working."
Me: "Have you cleared your cache and deleted cookies?"
Caller: "No, how do I do that?"
Me: Explains
Caller: "Okay, cool, it works now, thanks!"
Me: "Fuck you moron, stop wasting my time, I could have been surfing the web just then."
So yeah, I'd recommend doing it even if it is annoying. It will usually fix your problem, and that's worth it. That being said, I just cleared cookies/cache and I still can't get Gabbly to load...
-
Dude I use Camino and it doesn't set any cookies unless I ok them manually and Gabbly never set any cookies for me. It still does not work for me. Does Not Compute.
-
Gabbly has always been a fairly shitty and deeply flawed piece of programing. There is really nothing else to be said about it.
I'm goin back to IRC.
-
Wait no I'm not I can't remember how to use IRC.
-
irc.questionablecontent.net
port #6667
-
channel?
-
#qc
-
(http://admiralrupert.googlepages.com/kirk.jpg)
GGGGAAAAAAAABBBBBLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
-
I'm in there now. I am the only one. Monkeytrumpets.
-
Why does gabbly hate me so? This sucks.
-
I got desperate and went to the IRC but everyone in here is old and dead.
I had been having trouble finding ways to use my time that I normally would have used for gabbly. Until I started reading the collective Nero Wolfe detective stories.
(http://www.jabootu.com/images/nero.jpg)
Overweight detectives who solve crimes without ever leaving the comfort of their own homes are the best kind of detectives.
-
Hey how do you get in the IRC again?
I am realllly bored tonight.
-
You know what they say! Never trust a skinny detective.
-
irc.questionablecontent.net
port #6667
I just tried that. I got the blog of some guy called Andrew Clunis. It's really boring.
-
Well gabbly's working for me now, on Internet Explorer, not Firefox.
Only problem is that it's currently empty apart form me and I'm rather bored. Come talk to me.
-
I don't know what the difference is. Help?
-
download this:
http://www.mirc.com/
the rest is pretty simple
-
EVERYBODY GET ON IRC
-
that shit makes no sense to me.
-
I've never used, nor do I care to learn how to use IRC.
-
IRC is for hookers and
fat old people.
-
IRC is great but the people on the QC IRC have their own little community! It seems kind of rude to crash it.
-
IRC is great but the people on the QC IRC have their own little community! They're losers and pretty ugly, and we're so much cooler than them.
-
Hey! I am one of those people in the QC IRC. I am not an ugly loser, I take offense to that!
-
No no I was jokingly interpreting the meaning of Lunchy's post.
You are most certainly not an ugly loser.
(It's probably the fact that you gabble too that's responsible for this)
-
Psh!
IRC IS NOT SCARY! Just dont be evil, cause, unlike the silly gabbly, it has bannings and bootings!
-
How the shitfucks do you use IRC in adium?
-
You don't.
EVER.
-
it's back on.
-
No it isn't.
-
OH YES IT IS!
(all festive and shit)
-
No, it isn't.
-
I found this that we can use until Gabbly comes back.
It's almost exactly like Gabbly, yet, with slightly more IRC thrown in.
Just go to this address:
http://www.everywherechat.com/chatnow.php
And then type in whatever name you want to go by, no password.
Then, in the chat box at the bottom of the page you get to, type:
/join #qc
Then once you are in there, you can register your name by double clicking on it.
-
Gabbly works fine for me, guys. Except that you bitches aren't there saying hi to me. =(
-
Why Gabbly sucks:
-No support. No information/updates anywhere, their last blog post was from march. Their site consistently does have any information about problems.
-Bugs. All the time and everywhere. In nickname sign in, lag, connection problems, script, page loading.
-Sucks on certain browsers. Mostly firefox and safari - Was not supported in firefox at all in the earlier versions.
-No banning/moderation. Easily trolled by bots and spammers.
-Obnoxious advertising
-top 10
This is what you get from free browser-based services.
-
Waaaaay ahead of you, man. It always shits out on everybody and wouldn't work with my version of Safari until I went and updated.
-
Strange, I've NEVER had browser issues with gabbly, and I was using Firefox from the start. I mean, the second day we had the gabbly on QC. Was it not compatible with Firefox the day before I started using it? Or by earlier versions, do you mean pre-QC gabbly? If so, you should be in the 'indier than thou' thread!
-
I guess the real question is WHERE ARE WE CHATTING? NOBODY IS IN THE AIM ROOM!
-
Ugh, I'm confused. Can someone pm me a link to the chat everyone is using?
-
Hmm, the page loaded for me today, but gabbly didn't.
-
Seriously, with everybody blabbing away about different things, I am fucking confused as well. Where is everybody talking now?
-
well there are five of us in that AIM chat room right now. other than that, i have no clue.
-
AIM room's empty right now.
Guys, we need to like..have a group meeting and figure out where we are going until gabblefuck works again.
-
good idea, shane.
group meeting at my house, guys.
-
Righto. I'll bring a bottle of wine.
-
i've been using the aim chat room. it works decently enough, except that i never remember who anyone is. gabbly loads for me, but i'm always alone in there.
i'm always alone everywhere...
-
I'm on a Mac and I use Adium + AIM chat room. You can give people aliases. I've been busy lately so I haven't been in there very much recently.
-
that thing RM posted is pretty good.
-
Here it is again!
It's almost exactly like Gabbly, yet, with slightly more IRC thrown in.
Just go to this address:
http://www.everywherechat.com/chatnow.php
And then type in whatever name you want to go by, no password.
Then, in the chat box at the bottom of the page you get to, type:
/join #qc
Then once you are in there, you can register your name by double clicking on it.
-
that doesn't seem to work for me also...at the moment anyway
-
'Cept it keeps kicking poor Dan off.
-
I do not see anyone in here.
-
Its working for me, which works for me.
-
He's probably using the browser equivalent of a driving a goddamn Prius in the Monte Carlo Rally.
You mean one of the most up-to-date, competent, and leading broswers? Yes, one of those.
-
My browser can't display that image.
-
If there's one good thing to say for the Prius though (there probably is only one), it looks aerodynamic.
-
Why is there no one on everywherechat? There were about fifteen people on it earlier today but now there's no one apart from me.
-
Everyone needs to go to the everywherechat right now because I am there and I am lonely.
-
I'M GOING CRAZY, CAN'T TELL WITH LACK OF QC CHATTING NESS. GABBLY, EVERYWHERECHAT AND THE EFFING IRC CHANNEL IS NOT WORKING FOR ME AND THAT SHIT OF AN AIM WON'T FUCKING CONNECT.
SORRY JUST NEED TO TELL YOU I'M COCKSHITTING MAD.
-
YOU CAN CONNECT TO THE EVERYWHERE THINGER VIA ANY IRC PROGRAM! GO DO THAT AND BE LESS CRAAAAZY
-
I was banned for profanity for 2 days. For baiting those fuckers.
Also my IM is being a shitcock. I'm totally trying to MSN you now Erik!
-
yeah I'm on everywherechat. Though, no one is talking :/
-
That everywherechat thing is pretty not to my liking. It dies seemingly randomly and definitely irritatingly.
-
Of course no one likes it, it's IRC. :angel:
-
Please put away your pitchforks, IRC haters, review sites suck anyway.
-
I gave up on ever chatting to any of you ever again because very rarely did I see any of you in the IRC.
It's been a blast you guys! Was nice knowing you, but without gabbly, keeping up communications is just too much hassle.
(PS I use msn)
-
Guys gabbly is back! We are in there now! GO GO
-
It's a party on the internet and you're invited!.
-
Man, I am totally there.
-
I would LOVE a link.
-
SHE LIIIIIIIIIIIIVESSSS
-
I will murder the shit out of anybody who makes this link public. It has already been stated that it's a private link now, you read the thread to figure out who to get the link from. There's only one person who's allowed to hand it out.
Once you figure out his identity, you PM him.
He then sends you a riddle.
You answer the riddle, and he gives you the link.
This is how gabbly works now.
-
Fine I'll play your little murderous game...
-
and why are we making this an elitist party?
-
because if the link is everywhere then trolls can infiltrate it again. And what's the point of a private gabbly if everyone knows about it?
-
The comic that this forum spawned is about indie hipsters. If there isn't elitism somewhere in our ranks, we're doing it wrong. Quit yer whining, kids.
-
yaaaaay
my friends gabbly is back
-
Fine I'll play your little murderous game...
Change your avatar and I'll consider sending you a link*.
*Note, this link will not be to Gabbly, but I figure I can dig up something or other interesting.
-
Before anybody says ANYTHING, Jon has the best avatar on the forums right now.
-
Woah! I changed my avatar before I read this!
Give me something interesting.
-
Breaking News: Steven Tyler Did Way Too Many Drugs. (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/steven_tyler_i_did_way_too_many_drugs.html)
There. Interesting.
-
So nice to have gabbly back.
PM me if you want the link, kids.
Fuck the link, I want that riddle that was mentioned earlier.
-
So I am at the tommy-link (I think), 4 others there I don't know and no one talking.
-
Wow, I guess I'll just talk to myself now... :roll: :x
-
jen has cooties
-
Jen probably never even listened to the song I wrote her.
If I ever play it live, I'm screaming someone else's name.
-
That's what got you in trouble in bed, dude.
-
Guys I am in THREE DIFFERENT GABBLIES and no one is there but me. What the hell?
-
hate to say it, but there's like 20 people in the private one right now.
-
I can't gabble because it won't let me make a name that is not gabber#suchandsuch.
-
just go in and stay as that number, and make sure everyone knows who you are and why. We'll still talk to you. or register, you should try that.
-
Is Gabbly borked again, or is it just me?
-
It's just you, there are 6 people in Gabbly right now.
-
I used to know, but how do you use gabbly?
-
You bake a pie as fast as you can.
-
poop on you. I remember now.
there is no one on?
-
Pooping on people isn't very nice.
Is Gabbly borked again, or is it just me?
No one's there for me, so possibly not just you.
-
Gabbly works fine.
-
It works but they are all discussing football (the American style) and it is pretty worthless.
-
At this point in time Tommy and Pete are discussing the other, better style and while it is not worthless, it is boring as fuck.
EDIT BECAUSE I AM IGNORANT.
-
except this one
-
except the one that matters
-
European Style?
You know football is played religiously in basically every country in the world right?
No, American style with it's odd shaped ball. The pointless version. Soccer, or football in every other country, on the other hand, is not pointless, but pretty awesome.
-
who decided that the game you play with your hands would be called football anyway? and where did they come up with "soccer?"
man, my country is stupid.
-
Guys you people are dumb. "Soccer" is football. "American football" is actually American-rules football. "Rugby" is actually rugby-rules football.
They are all football.
-
I remember way back when I first started posting here there was some discussion about soccer and football and then I said something fun about ultimate frisbee, then Tommy sig-quoted it for a while and I felt like it validated my internet activity.
That is to say, what?
-
the gods do not want you to have live conversations.
you might revolt against them!
-
No one is in gabbly when I check in.
Where did all the australians go?
-
Prison?
-
Their mothers' pouches?
-
No, American style with it's odd shaped ball. The pointless version. Soccer, or football in every other country, on the other hand, is not pointless, but pretty awesome.
I fail to see the logic of this. Then again, I fail to see the logic of anything where ending in a tie is acceptable.
Except sex, of course.
-
Back to where they came from.
English poorhouses and prisons?
-
dont send them here, we're full.
so is anybody actually in any form of chat at the moment? i tried the gabbly and the aim and the other thing but nobody was in there. might have been the time differences or something.
-
Yeah, the private Gabbly is fine..
-
and how to i get an invite to this prestigious private party?
-
Edit: Ne'ermind.
(what I said about USA football and soccer)
I fail to see the logic of this. Then again, I fail to see the logic of anything where ending in a tie is acceptable.
Huh?
-
Tommy the only person I think I have ever witnessed call you Tom is Cardiff-Pete.
I cannot think of having met another Tommy in my entire life. I think you are safe, man.
-
ok i agree.
i have chosen a name. is there some sort of ceremony?
-
Rick
Is there anyone called Rick that isn't a completely annoying douche?
I'm starting to think that if your parents decide on the name 'Rick' or 'Ricky' then they're going to keep on making mistakes when it comes to parenting.

See, what you do is you add up the amount of times you have fellated Tommy and multiply that by the length of his penis. Once you get to the above length, you're in.
(It takes a few years, during which the boredom that overcomes you in between doing lines of coke off his dick and feeling like a wretched human being drives you to become a dedicated poster, creating the illusion that only the senior members who post really well get into Gabbly)
-
or (apparently) tell him you're irish.
not american irish though. the proper kind.
-
Am I the only oen that can't get into any gabblies at all?
-
Though I wish it weren't the case.
-
See, what you do is you add up the amount of times you have fellated Tommy and multiply that by the length of his penis.
Dude, you can't multiply by zero
-
You can, however, divide by zero (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero").
It just destroys the world (http://"www.neopets.com").
-
Uh. Uou can multiply by zero. it just always equals zero.
-
No.
-
(guys the whole point is that tommy is supposed to have a small penis)
(jeez)
-
Guys gabbly is very empty and sad right now.
-
Guys gabbly is very empty and sad right now.
?
Am I the only one that can't get into any gabblies at all?
-
Ok, going back to Darryl's comment about solving a riddle to get the directions to the map and digging under the big ten in the middle of the library then crawling through the labrynth and fighting the minotaur while dropping a trail of bread behind you and then pushing the witch into the cauldron which completes the potion that leads you to island where you jump off the cliff and read the name of the person who you have to pm to find out the gabbly before being bounced back to safety by the rubber trees. I think we can make this easier by just telling me who I have to fellate to get the address. Or someone just pm's it to me.
Pretty pleeeease?
[edit]Sorted, thanks!
-
Can i have it please, i would offer something but I'm not a very nice person and honestly can't be bothered.
-
The gabbly for your Jaguar, straight up.
-
If you come out here and collect it.
-
Nope.
-
No Jaguar for Valley_parade.
When you first said jaguar it didn't click that you meant my guitar and i was like wtf i don't have a large predatory cat on me.
-
I would also accept a little black kitty.
-
Sorry i killed my last kitty, I'll go steal another one.
-
I heard Jaguar and I thought of the car.
Then I was wondering how the crap you could afford a Jaguar. This lead to considerable confusion.
-
Whoever thought the word jaguar would cause so much confusion.
-
I heard Jaguar and I thought of the car.
Bloody hell, Liz!
(http://www.guitargonauts.com/pix/65jaguar.jpg)
-
Some of us are more normal than others, Shane.
(Like Liz and me.)
-
I'm waiting for Patrick to find that picture and go "OMFG I CAME DUDE".
(i <3 yoo, dude)
-
(Like Liz and me.)
Yeah, me too. It didn't look like you were talking about the car, which I initially thought, and then my next thought was the cat. So yeah. Not everyone knows geetawrs.
-
So what have we learned today, kids?
(There is a guitar called "Jaguar". That is what we learned.)
-
I do not play guitar at all, therefore my knowledge of different types of them is limited.
This is a Jaguar:
(http://www.jaguarusa.com/us/en/s-type/gallery/photography_C8F0CC7D-458C-4FCC-A5F1-D78F9781B1F7_378x624.jpg)
-
No. This is a Jaguar.
(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg39/Lola_B_/main.jpg)
-
No. This is a jaguar.
(http://www.edu.pe.ca/southernkings/Pictures/jaguar.gif)
-
THIS is a Jaguar. All the others are just some sort of watered down Jaguar. This, I want.

-
No.This is a jaguar
(http://www.spottycat.com/marlos/emporium/jaguar/jaguar_s.jpg)
-
If you come out here and collect it.
WHERE ARE YOU, I WOULD TOTALLY DO IT.
-
Near Oban, I will post a puzzle that you have to solve to find out the village i stay in.
-
It would totally be worth buying a round-trip ticket from Tirana-London-Edinburgh, renting a car, paying for petrol, driving all the way there and picking it up and taking it home.
Probably cheaper, too, if we're talking about the American-made reissue.
-
You're coming to Glasgae, right? Bring the Jaguar and a puzzle.
-
ledhendrix can bring the Jaguar, I will bring the puzzle, and we can have a little swap meet.
-
I'm afraid its only a japanese jaguar (hides in shame). When is the glasgow meet, i'll try and make it down for a day maybe.

I, um, thought of...
A computer operating system...

I'm afraid its only a japanese jaguar (hides in shame).
MIJ Fenders are pretty good shit, aren't they?
-
Mine's made in Japan, and it's good! I refuse to believe that paying more than twice as much for a guitar would make it twice as good.
-
Yeah it is good. My Tele is a mexican one and it is excellent. I don't see how they can justify the excess price on an American one. What is it exactly that is so much better?
-
If you have ever read the Guitar Topic, you already know about my wankfest over my Squier Bullet.
ITT: nobody cares about Gabbly, lol
-
Hey guys I heard gabbly is broken, is this true?
-
Gabbly is not working for me right now, but I don't know if it's borked for everyone.
-
I could test it out if someone would give me the link *cough* *cough* FUCKING HINT HINT
-
It is not borked for me and the other 8 people in there.
-
Well, shit.
-
NOBODY CARES ABOUT GABBLY OKAY

And once again, give it to me and the gabblebox is all yours.

See the one on the right, the far right yeah i own one of them
You SON OF A BITCH.
-
Dammit. Guys, gabbly is shit, seriously. Fuck this noise, I'm going back to IRC.
-
What? its not working for you? Its working for us! Me Gene and MusicScribbles are on it right now.
-
I dunno, I tried to refresh about two hours ago when eed and roddy were still there and it just refused to load.
-
Well, considering Gabbly seems to be monstrously borked, I've moved back to that everywherechat thing for the time being.
For those who don't recall:
Here's the url. (http://everywherechat.com)
Type in /join #qc into the chat window to join.
Edit: In an effort to disable this fucking swear filter, I have registered the room. The password has been set as "gabbly"
-
jon, you're a jerk. i went to that everywhere chat thing and you're not even talking to me. jerk.
-
Why don't you quit wasting time posting on the forum, and focus on working once in a while, Gabbly, you prick.
-
Yeah great idea Jon I'M ALL ALONE IN THERE.
-
where is everyone? i'm bored at work, guys! i need gabbly or equivalent!
-
there is that AIM thingy, yelley.
-
Katie and I are yelling at each other in everywherechat right now! Come join me!
-
Liar!
-
Man that got boring real fast. As I said in there, "Screw this, I'm going back to the -real- IRC."
-
Jon, you are a liarface. Yelley and I are the only ones in there. (And I don't know what the IRC and AIM things are.) BOO!
-
I left because the place was barren. People have been barely popping in and those few who have haven't been talking.
-
It's barren when I go there. Hopefully whomsoever is responsible for these bad times fixes whatever it is they did.
-
Gabbly appears to be working.
-
Eek! Gabbly ish barren!
-
Gabbly is still broken for me.
-
She works for me, so get 'cho booties on the dance floor.
I mean gabbly.
I mean your typed text.
-
Why is Gabbly so empty?
Why hath all of you forsaken me?
-
Nobody in there when I look.
-
Still won't load.
-
Loads for me now. Didn't earlier; does now.
Get in here, bitches, Addum isn't talking and I need distractions!
-
Jesus motherfucking shit, gabbly, why the hell won't you work? I am boycotting IRC now, are you happy? FUCKING. WORK. MOTHERSHITTING. CUNT.
-

-
gabbly is presently working, folks.
-
No, it's nootttt.
-
...is there anybody OUT there?
-
...So, I'm trying to give this gabbly thingy a shot, but so far it appears to be a flaming pile of crap that just sits in the upper right hand corner blocking my beloved newsbox and not responding.
-
...is there anybody OUT there?
Best song Floyd ever did.
-
I miss gabbly :( Facebook isn't nearly as instantly fun and sociable.
-
It's the veep and Richard party in there right now, guys. GET YOUR GABBLE ON.
-
Is anyone else using older versions of internet explorer?
I haven't been able to access Gabbly from work, where I am stuck using IE 6, for three or four days now.
I've had no problems accessing from home on firefox or the most recent IE release, though.
Gabbly, why have you forsaken me?!
-
It's possible that it's related to IP addresses or providers, or something you have very little control over. If it's just a browser issue, why not install a portable browser onto a thumb drive and open that while at work?
-
Well, I assume it's not that, as I've been accessing Gabbly from work since last May or June. Gabbly just happens to be a finicky, moody and buggy twat of a program.
The idea of a portable browser is new to me. I find your idea intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Please, tell me more.
-
Some applications have a 'portable' version that you install onto a flash drive. The program installed onto the drive can be opened via any computer, allowing you to take your personalised programs anywhere with you.
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
There's the portable version of Firefox. Everything is contained on our drive, meaning your bookmarks and favourites, your history and your cookies, can be taken with you anywhere. As everything is contained on the drive, and not on the computer, you leave no information behind when you use the portable browser on a public computer. Very useful for students and people who use the internet outside of their own desktops.
-
I've managed to gain access to Gabbly, though it's just yelley and I at the moment.
I will still be trying out that portable drive thing next week, though.
-
Gabbly was working for me. Something witty was in at the same time.
-
No work for me :(
-
It loads for me, but it is as empty as...something empty. I couldn't think of anyhing good to say.
-
Awww. I wish Gabbly was working because the qc irc is pretty much dead as well.
-
Yeah, Gabbly loaded, but it seemed empty, but I think it was more a bug because not even my own name was in the list.
-
yeah, I'm having the same problem...
-
It does two things when I try: Sometimes is says the connection is broken and I need to refresh OR it loads, the list is blank (even my name isn't on it), and no one is there. I am using Firefox, so I could try other browsers, but I still don't know if it'd work.
GABBLEBOX, THOU ART A FOUL MISTRESS.
-
Just started working for me, though it's just ledhendrix in there and he don't seem very talkative. I closed the window and reloaded and it worked again, so that's a cause for hope.
-
I'm very hungover, and tired and untalkish. I shall try to be more conversational in future. Also it doesn't seem to show anyone elses name in the thingy.
-
You guys, gabble. it's just me and what seems to be an inactive Khar in there.
-
I'm very hungover, and tired and untalkish. I shall try to be more conversational in future. Also it doesn't seem to show anyone elses name in the thingy.
I had to sleep, so I left.
-
It works again, but is full of 7 very silent people. meanies.
-
Stopped working again for me. Instead of showing an empty room, it's just endlessly loading.
-
FUCK YEAH BIZNITCHES
-
Stopped working again for me. Instead of showing an empty room, it's just endlessly loading.
Clean out your cookies!
-
So everyone's at a different Gabbly place than they were before?
That'd explain why http://gabbly.com/http://forums.questionablecontent.net/ is always empty...
-
Gabbly, I love you!
-
So everyone's at a different Gabbly place than they were before?
Where's the new Gabbly?
-
Goddamn it, gabbly loads for me, I can see the people in there, and I even get the messages for the first few seconds then it stops working.

:-D
I know people use gabbly because it is easier than irc or whatever but it might be preferable to many people or perhaps I should not post without giving this "gabbly" a try.
IRC is always there. Almost... and if not there is always other servers and channels but then you might not find people like the #qc ircissians on them and that kinda means they suck.
-
Everytime I think I will give IRC a chance I go in there and realise I hate half the people that use IRC, sorry.
-
Every time I go into IRC it is either dead quiet, or talking about computer-y stuff that I don't get. And they go on about my name because of Discordia. Gabbly is more interesting, so yeah.
-
Umm... /ignore ?
-
I was really just suggestion it as something to curb the withdrawal symptoms of no gabbly.
A bit like replacing a pot addiction with crack. Yeah maybe not such a good idea.
-
Guys, let's consider the following:
1. Gabbly has never been anything but buggy
2. Gabbly is boring anyway because all people talk about is booze and shitty bands nobody's heard of because they are terrible (I have tried to listen to plenty of them)
3. This thread hasn't had a single post in it that hasn't been related to Gabbly being completely fucking broken and it is 7 pages long
4. SEVEN PAGES OF BITCHING ABOUT GABBLY BEING BROKEN
5. IRC isn't that goddamn hard, you guys
6. I mean seriously my mom could probably even use it and she is still using AOL
In conclusion, stfu and get IRC and then we won't have this trouble.
-
I go on the qc irc and gabbly and the quality of conversation tends to be better on gabbly.
-
Wow, I don't get offended but if I did that last post would most likely have done it.
irc is just cool because people idle, that is half the awesomeness of it. Being there and only talking when you find the conversation interesting, or talking to people for 24 hours a day 7 days a week non stop. I connect to 8 irc servers and I am always in 17 #channels 24/7 no mattter what, my pc is on, why not even, and here si the crazy part, make a #gabbly channel on the qc irc server when gabbly is borked! That way you could cut out all the "boring computery talk" and the people you "hate" and leave you with a more stable versatile enjoyable conference chat experience. Hell, you might even find some people that are nice to talk to, who you share interests and views with because I know that I sure as peas have. I even spent two evenings this week with some people from irc, who I met for the first time, granted one was from the forums but they are all awesome people. Irc is awesome but I guess smackheads would tell you something similar about heroin.
tl;dr
NURRR Dinosaurs NURRR Rawr! NURRR
-
Not even the matter of not liking it, but the matter that many of us use Gabbly from work and are unable to install IRC to our work computers.
-
Well, see, I happen to frequent both. I travel a whole lot as well, Tommy, but my macbook goes with me everywhere. Occasionally I will encounter a wireless network that blocks irc ports (usually 6667, which incidentally is the one #qc uses), but that is not all that often!
I really like being able to talk with a bunch of people all at once and carry on rather lively conversations with multiple participants. However, I can definitely say that I would probably not [attempt to] use Gabbly nearly so much as I do if the people in it were not (for whatever reason) so averse to using IRC, because I find that the setup and visuals in IRC programs to be more organised and visually appealing and easier to follow. I like that there are admins in IRC because they can throw out people who are being disruptive trolling dicks and fix programming issues when they arise!
Gabbly often does not load for me; I think that since the last time it was universally not loading for everyone it works 1 in 3 tries. I do not know why this is! Perhaps it is my browser that it does not like, or something. Plus I am not really sure why people keep bringing up the fact that Gabbly is a "free chat program" when IRC is also free.
We talk about things in IRC that are not nerdy sometimes! The other day I had a conversation about haircuts and hairstyles with some people in #qc, and discussed bras versus corsets in #xkcd, but neither conversation lasted very long because there were not enough interested parties to keep it going. We do not really ever talk about music because all the people who want to talk about music avoid IRC in favour of Gabbly, so I guess you just have to pick and choose which are your lesser evils.
Post-script: Tommy, as far as bands go, I find I agree with Patrick in about 50% of the Gabbly music conversations I witness. Deerhoof is really not that good. I am sorry! Maybe I just need to see them live and my opinion will be changed, but as it stands now, I cannot listen to their music without wanting to break things. And some of the music videos Khar posts are amazing and hilarious, but the music is shite! I do not know what to say beyond this.
Edit: Obsessions, do you use Windows? If so, can you use Trillian? a flash drive with the program on that? Chatzilla with Firefox? Ok problem solved.
-
Oh, well, to be fair, gabbly has a lot of conversations about booze and sex and stuff. However, I guess it is good to know where else I can go to get my geek fix. I enjoy talking to the people who frequent gabbly and finding them all in one place is more efficient and leaves conversation options slightly more open than talking to all of them on AIM or MSN or whatever.
I have used mute in gabbly on many occasions. Maybe this is rooted in the same tendency I have to use /ignore in IRC, which I do a lot. Also #qc admins are not that bad! They mostly tend to be busy with their programming projects or work or coding homework, anyway, though, so I guess that could be the reason. (I am an op. Does this make me also a bug?)
In conclusion: Pickle should come back to IRC because I miss him. <3
-
The relevance of the fact that it is free is that it's churlish to complain about the reliability of things that are free.
IRC always works for me and ChatZilla is free, etc. etc. been there done that.
I do not believe that it is a fair argument that Gabbly is inferior just because you were once in there when something you personally didn't like was being discussed.
After several weeks of pretty much spending my entire existence in Gabbly before it was moved to a private location, I find it a bit odd that the word 'once' was used here.
In Gabbly you can mute people you don't like. The fact that nobody ever uses this feature tells you a lot.
How can you know that for sure? Schrödinger's cat could be alive or dead. Nobody knows. And this metaphorical box is reinforced concrete.
-
Amazing, you guys have found something more pointless to argue about than Windows vs. Mac!
-
Man, fuck Schrodinger's cat, that's just silly. I don't see how you can tie a macroscopic process to a quantum process without an observation.
The cat, at least, is going to observe something. Human observation is not privileged, guys.
-
Sometimes we take it over to skype and then things REALLY get crazy. Nobody uses a mic but we talk the same, about MOVIES and stuff. Woah, that was one CRAZY nite.
-
Amazing, you guys have found something more pointless to argue about than Windows vs. Mac!
Fuck you, I say the sky is orange.

GOD IS TOTALLY A WOMAN OKAY
-
..Right. it may be explained somewhere within this thread already, but can someone spell out specifically to me: what the hell is Gabbly?
-
Okay guys.
I have never even TOUCHED irc before.
Tell a poor little girl how to connect to #qc.
(I'm using mIRC if it makes any difference.)
-
Connect to any server you want, then type the following;
/server irc.questionablecontent.net
/join #qc
:-D
-
..Right. it may be explained somewhere within this thread already, but can someone spell out specifically to me: what the hell is Gabbly?
It's a chat client with rooms, sort of like IRC. QC's room is private. Tommy's the man with the details.
-
Go P.M. Tommy
And ask for the key.
Because since Gabbly was raided
By losers; we are jaded.
Let you in, we will,
You'll find us friendly still.
(I'm still rhyming away, you see!)
-
Ali if you're aspiring to be like Biggie you have a long way and 4 gunshot wounds to go.
-
It is not biggie that I wish I could be,
His rhymes were tight but his fatness was not right.
Besides why would I, ever want to try
to be a dude who, got shot through and through.
-
I am pretty sure that is the only reason 50 Cent does anything ever.
-
Proof and Tupac, those are dead rappers i rever
I hope they're living in thug heaven forever.
-
Did you mean revere?
-
Rappers don't need no correct spellin
Hard to articulate when yo art forms is yellin
If you don't like this shit, you can get bent
cause I ain't give a shit for subject/verb agreement.
-
If fatty starts dropping rhymes with cypress hill, someone please post it on youtube.
-
Ali's got no rhyming skill, it's really kindof sad
It's a joke to hear her try 'cause she don't know she's being had
Got no knack for beat nor meter and her flow is really crap
If she thinks this is a pinprick, man, she oughtta see the slap
-
I have never used #qc and I like the people in gabbly. Also, it's kind of funny when you log on and your name eats the person at the top of the list. And you can pretend to be someone else if you're the same color.
And I don't really get what's so bad about the conversation. I like it. There are bits where sometimes people talk about games I don't play or whatever, so either I direct my attention elsewhere and pick up again when the topic has changed or I talk to the others who aren't talking about games. And except for the time when it was down for a while, it's worked for me since I've started using it.
-
I'd like to mention here that I love it when khar logs in at like 5am when I've been up all night and tells me about some obscure histories.
-
Is it my wifi or is gabbly down again? I haven't been able to get on in hours. By that, I mean I can't see anyone on the user list and no text appears or anything.
Basically I am trying to get ahold of Richard. Oy!
-
I just went in and there was nobody in there.
It is gabbly.
WORK DAMNIT! I'M BORED!
-
I got in but Johnny is the only other one in there right now. Sad.
-
Johnny is in there right now. Sad.
Man, Toronto is just going to be a festival of you pooping on my self-esteem, isn't it? Shave your moustache! Get out of Gabbly and do something with your life! Put on pants!
-
The sad was only because it was just you! I can pretty much guarantee that you have more of a life than I do, so it wouldn't be fair for me to tell you to leave Gabbly. And In Tronno I will be your own person self-esteem booster as long as you shave off that goddamn moustache.
But yeah, putting on pants is usually a good thing. I can't refute that.
-
I will grow a solidarity mustache if you people keep hating on Johnny.
-
James, if you grow a moustache...
You PEOPLE and your silly IDEAS. They're driving me CRAZY.
-
Solidarity moustaches, eh...? Guys, this could be a thing.
-
I will grow a solidarity moustache for you, Johnny.
After the blatant moustache hating that mate its way around the ladies of gabbly the other day, I feel compelled to.
-
I will show my moustache support as well.
-
I can do a moustache, but on it's own it is about as impressive as JC's. I will do this anyway to show my support.
-
Jens I hope you are wearing pants right now.
I really do.
-
Okay, I suddenly really do not like that the chair I'm using came with my "dorm room" (not really a dorm, but a student housing complex).
I'm going to sincerely hope there's some rule when moving out that states that people have to clean the cover/upholstery.
-
Man I am not wearing pants, I'm wearing shorts!
My solidarity mustache will be more like peach fuzz (so really about as good as Johnny's), but my razor will stay away from my upper lip.
-
Jesus guys, have you actually seen Johnny' mustache lately? It's looking pretty fly, if I do say so myself. I don't think he's put any more recent pics in the Photothread but for those of you that know what I mean, you know what I mean.
I really can not grow any respectable facial hair whatsoever (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/ddovey/Photo23.jpg) but if solidarity mustaches becomes a thing, I'll try to think really hard about growing a mustache for at least half an hour every day.
-
What the fuck is with all the recent thread zombification.
-
We were all bitten by zombie bugs.
I will grow a solidarity mustache if you people keep hating on Johnny.
I don't want to hate on Johnny, but I still think you should do this.
-
Anyone else having Gabbly trouble today? I've tried refreshing, using different browsers, clearing my data. Nothing. Where is my Gabbly?!
-
it works fine for me Jon, I just logged on no problem
-
Yeah, I can see Tommy, Squiddy, Eed, Liz and you on the list, but my name doesn't load and I get nothing else.
-
you might be ninja'd. Can you Post?
-
I had problems earlier, but then it went away. So just keep trying.
-
I forgot about this old thing, maybe I should log on.
-
yes Joe Hocking, you should log on. Make things more interesting.
-
Yeah Jon, I had this problem yesterday. I was shouting at everyone but I didn't exist in there. I just gave a it an hour or so and it worked again.
-
Man I must be stupid at the internet. I can't get this thing to work...
-
I'm having the same problem that Jodie just described. Gosh darn it.
-
Whenever I go on, which is not super frequently, no one else is there. I'm afraid I have the wrong link. Can someone PM the right one to me?
-
Done.
-
Whenever I go on, which is not super frequently, no one else is there. I'm afraid I have the wrong link. Can someone PM the right one to me?
Could you do the same for me. I'm having the same problem.
(Pwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?)
-
Does anyone know if it works in Opera? I've been trying, but it seems I'm the only one on every time.
-

(Pwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?)
I also have the same problem.
-
Does anyone know if it works in Opera? I've been trying, but it seems I'm the only one on every time.
It hasn't worked in Opera for me. Or in Safari, the only browser I've got it to work in is Firefox.
-
I've used it in Safari, but it definitely works much better in Firefox. Come to think of it, Gabbly may be the reason I stopped using Safari and use Firefox now. Ironically, I barely log on Gabbly anymore.
-
I still use Safari for most browsing but use Firefox for Gabbly and a few other things (like phpDiplomacy, anyone want to start a game again?).
-
Gabbly works the same for me in Firefox, Safari and Opera and if I can recall correctly, Flock didn't seem to have any issues either. The key differences for me were that I didn't use adblock on Opera and Flock and that the fonts used in gabbly varied from browser to browser.
-
i can load gabbly in safari and people can talk to me, but i can't input any text. i mainly use firefox now just so i can gabble.
-
Guys I would like to join the Gabbly crew.
Would someone kindly PM me a link, or do I have to be initiated first?
-
You have to be initiated. It's pretty rough. There's lots of paperwork involved.
-
Dude, this is the internet. There is no paper.
-
Also, which page are all you folks Gabblying on? That might help explain why I can't ever see anybody in chat.
-
Guys I would like to join the Gabbly crew.
And you are...?
You would primarily want to contact the designated Gabbly link distributor.
-
Jon, I've seen him poke around, he's cool.
You guys wanna hit Tommy up with a PM.
-
New People, if you're in Gabbly and non-one is in there, hang around/ try again later!
One good Gabble and you're hooked. It is good fun.
-
It's okay I guess. I tend to make an arse of myself after entering at the most awkward possible moment of a conversation held by other gabbers, but I keep coming back.
-
I figure I'm done lurking after my looong period of forum absence :-). Geez, I had no idea Gabbly and the QC IRC became private clubs of sorts... what kind of tomfoolery goes on in these chats?
Tommydski: Oi oi, you didn't send a PM to "everyone ever!" I received no such PM, pfft... though I'd like one!
Edit: Mucho thanks, Tania!
-
Gabbly became a private club of sorts when it got to an extent of popularity that it was routinely showing up on Gabbly's top chats list and drawing copious amounts of retards and trolls who tended to cause a ruckus.
-
Also if it's a secret gabbly we can keep Jon out.
-
Fuck you, the we-hate-jon Gabbly closed up shop months ago.
-
That's what we told you.
-
There's still enough hate there to keep bringing up.
You can never escape.
-
Man I think I went into Gabby 2 or maybe 3 times and I don't really think I fit in with you guys in that setting. Maybe I should try it again? Tommy, pm me!
