Frequently Asked Questions in Joe's

Here we go, answers to all those questions you people who are new to Joe's are always asking! *g*

Does anybody wanna chat?
No, of course not, we just come into Joe's to take up space! *l* The better way to ask this question, and I have actually seen some people do it!!, is this: "Does anybody wanna chat with me?" *s*

What the hell is an Internal Server Error??
No one really knows except the CH gurus. *l* Sorry. I have heard, though, that they come as a result of the CH being hacked. *shrugs* Tips on dealing with them:
a) Hit reload, and keep on chatting. *s*
b) Go to another floor of the CH, because the Next Level is infested, sorry.
c) Go to another chat server entirely. *l*
d) Don't complain about them too much, as this will get you put on ignore pretty fast. *l*
Oh, and Internal Server Error is usually abbreviated as ISE. *s*

What is a time out??
It's where you sit there, doing nothing, not posting in the chat room, for five minutes. You sit there that long, you get booted. This is why it is best to break up a long story in to smaller pieces, because when Joe's gets busy, you may never get back in. *l* (This is the voice of experience!! *l*) You can watch your idle time, and that of others, by watching the seconds beside your name down at the bottom in the list of people in the room. If it gets near 300 (5 minutes x 60 seconds a minute= 300 seconds), you're pretty much a goner. I have heard that the record time for sitting idle and not getting kicked out is 312 seconds. *s* But I don't know for sure.

What does LMAO stand for??
LMAO is one of many abbreviations that are used quite often in Joe's and other chat rooms. *s* LMAO means Laughing My Ass Off. To find out the meanings of more abbreviations, go to Nikki's Joe's Diner Page, because I am too lazy to list them here when it has already been done. *l* (Any questions not answered here can be emailed to me or Nikki, and she or I will answer them to the best of our ability. *s*

What is a reg?
A reg is a regular, someone who comes into Joe's a lot and knows a lot of the other people who frequent the diner. They are generally nice and spiffy people, and nice to talk to. (I am not just saying this because I consider myself a reg. *lmao* I am saying it because back when i was a newbie, there were regs who helped me out and introduced me to people. I am forever grateful. *bs*)

Why do regs only talk to each other?
They don't, that's why there are so many regs and we know each other-- we talk to other people every now and then. *l*

How do I get a reg to talk to me?
Well, I can't speak for everyone, but it has been my experience that people who are funny, friendly, and generally seem to be nice to talk to can get anyone to talk to them. This is a good approach, maybe you should try it? *l*
Reasons someone might not talk to you:
a) You are saying nothing but, "Anybody wanna chat?" or something along those lines.
b) You are a perv. (A perv is someone who goes into a chat room looking for cyber sex. They advertise this fact loudly and proudly, and do crude things like mass PMing others to make sure they know and say disgusting things that I am not even going to repeat.)
c) You pissed them off. (*shrugs* Don't ask ME what you did, I didn't piss them off, YOU did, remember? Politely ask them what you did and how you can fix it is all I know to tell you!)
d) They have you on ignore. (You did something, and now they can't hear/read you. *shrugs* Sorry! Ask someone to pass the message along to them that you are sorry and would like to chat is all I can suggest. *s*)

What the hell are you doing??
(I get this one a lot.) Here is the secret- I have no idea. *basg*

How do you PM someone?
See that little list at the bottom of your chat screen? The one with the little boxes and the names? Okay, well, type something in the Whisper Box, and then click on the box right beside the name of the person you wish to PM (the box in the column labeled "PM"?), and then hit "Whisper." *s*

How do you put someone on ignore?
Remember that list and those boxes we just talked about?? *l* Okay, well, go back down to them, and see the little columns, the two on the left, of boxes? Those are your ignores. You can ignore in Public by clicking the "Ignore Pub" box next to their name, or in PM Land by clicking the "Ignore Priv" box. *s* Magic! *l*

How do I open another browser window?
Okay, you can pull down the "File" menu, and choose "New (Insert Your Browser's Name Here) Window," or you can scoot the window you are currently using over just a bit, and double click on the icon of your browser. Pretty easy. *s* *l*

I have no clue. *lmao* Isn't it obvioius??

What the hell is your problem?
Medical science at its current state of advancement has not been able to answer this question for the 16 years and some odd months that I have been around. *g* They also do not have any medication out there for what is wrong with me. *lmao* So I don't know, and I can't help it. *lmao*

How do I make it stop?
I have no idea, but when you find out, will you please tell me?? *lmao*
