I just entered 100 for the age to see if it would work. Seems it's not too choosy.

What cookie do they plant? I can just delete it and start over.
Perhaps you can find something a little bit better to.

I'm not sure which cookie to delete, but probably anything with meebo.com in the name would be it.

Regarding something better: got any suggestions? I considered IRC, but figured it would be much better to have something embedded directly on a web page.

Though, you're right--this one could use some improvement. I just noticed that it pops annoying little ads into the chat box every few minutes.

http://www.free-dc.org/chat/chat.html

Change channel to: #NPLB and click connect now

Uses java and works, no ads, dp would love to see you there :)
You can also use mIRC, which I use mostly, and I'll keep it open for awhile.
For a quick and fast chat thing, you can use the java client.

Use it anytime you like.

It's amazing how things can move so quickly overnight.
This whole idea looks amazing.

Yeah, heck, I'm just getting out of the way and letting them run with it. I'm just the lowly project admin in all of this. lmao

Another option for chat:
https://blueimp.net/ajax/
You can see it in action here:
http://www.sc2pod.com/chat/
It uses JS and optionally Flash (to speed up the updates), so there's no "scary" Java warnings asking if it can run. And it includes forum integration so you automatically have your user name (and moderator status) from the forums.
The only downside that comes to mind is that you can't access it from an external IRC app if you want to, since it's not IRC.

tremendous progress in this area!

so lets collect pro's and contra's for this idea, like Gary mentioned 'Why do we need this?'

a great contra for me is:
i have many, and when i say many they are many many, links to this forum in www.rieselprime.de on a lot of pages there!
many page are not filled yet because the 'normal work' (collecting ranges and primes) needs much time of my life, although i like to do such work.
i've collected about 140000 primes for over 7500 k's in about 2 years now with many other information around Riesel-primes and it's growing!
THAT is the most comprehensive collection of Riesel-primes ever, shown on only one domain and not spreaded over the whole net and outdated!

i linked references to data like reservations or primes given on those pages.
so if all NPLB-threads are moved i have to change all those links manually!

another point: i have to check another forum for new information to collect!

it's even getting harder to follow up those many new primes found and ranges done to show them on my pages and it's growing further.
that new forum would be another time consuming part to manage!

I "think", but I cannot confirm yet, that links to your pages from here should be intact if they were to be moved.

I have been asked to apply some thought to providing a formalized manual reservation process.
The purpose of that is to eliminate the NPLB forum scanning that you have to do to catch all the reservations.

Another thought I had was seeing if we can process some of Chris' files so we can report automatically if a result is "new" or "existing" and if it is Top-5000.
The purpose of that is to consolidate and automate the result reporting process.

I have some other thoughts about entry of "new" results in Chris' database, but that has not proved popular so far.

My thoughts are to try to find ways of helping you to do the important analysis and reporting at the tail end of the process
It would be convenient if we could help perhaps by collating, verifying and analyzing the results and delivering to you the details that you need.

I will continue to think more on how we might do that, but any suggestions you may have would be most welcome
(please PM me if you already have some ideas that we can investigate)
