Is This Option Still Available?
« on: January 02, 2016, 02:26:46 AM »

Is anyone still using the Chin Chat option? It seems a really great idea to further connect forum members and make new likeminded friends  ;).

We used to have scheduled meetings on our little message board for chinchilla club members. It hasn't been too successful in the past. Is that what you're referring to?

I'll let you set a time then. Include a time zone. I am Eastern Standard and I'll try to make and hang out there for a couple of hours.

Tomorrow is fine. You are six hours behind me as I'm GMT (England) say 8pm for me would make it 2pm for you. Is that ok Grey Rodent. Please correct me if I've miscalculated our difference in time  :).

Sorry but I have plans for working on our vehicles tomorrow in the warm part of the day. Let's shoot for Monday. That will be 3PM EST which is fine for me. I'll log in a little early as well. If there is a problem with the chat room (my website is not well maintained right now) check back here on the forum and I'll link to a conferencing site.
Our chat room is for Chinchilla Club and Chinchilla Breeders Organization members. It is located here:

Please excuse the spelling errors on the chat page. I'll get to correcting those soon!

Weekdays are bad for me due to work commitments. Could we schedule our chat for next weekend. I've emailed you regarding trouble logging into the members area.

We'll discuss that via e-mail. The members area is exclusively for Chinchilla Club and CBO members with current memberships.

I'm going to leave the chat scheduled for tomorrow and also open it up again this weekend and hopefully this will help build more interest. What would be a good time and day for you? This weekend really wasn't a good time for me because of the holidays. My dad is visiting and he wants to work outside today.

Hi GrayRodent,
Sunday 8pm GMT would be fine, so I'm assuming that would be 2pm where you are. Please let me know if this is ok.

I don't expect that to be a problem and will try to make it work. Please send your e-mail to admin@chinchillaclub.com as I did not get your last one. Thanks.

I received your e-mail and replied to it. It appears to have been sent. (at 12:12 EST). It has instructions for signing up as a chinchilla club member. If you're a breeder you may consider a CBO membership which allows you to pass out chinchilla club memberships when you sell kits.

Just been checking out the members area and have entered one of my chins in the photo contest. I'm impressed with the layout and services provided  :). GreyRodent, do I use the coffee shop or the chat room for our scheduled chat on Sunday?

I'm glad you like it. It needs to be refurbished badly and to do that I have to move everything to a new server which I'm working very hard at right now. The site was created by Jamie Huggins who handed it off to me as she retired from breeding. I'll be using the live chat room that you can access from the clubhouse. The coffee shop is a special forum for v-chins players. After the server changeover I will be getting involved with playing v-chins regularly again. I used to be a beta tester and developer on it when the genetics engine was first implemented.
