New new chat room 2.0!
So, Skype is kind of old hat, but its been revamped and now works on the web. No download required.
To get to Skype in your browser, go to http://web.skype.com/en but you can also use the link below to directly join the chat. There is still a Dirty chat and here is the link: https://join.skype.com and then add /kXpYTdRfIHtH (test to fool russian bots) If you want to download Skype, then you can get it from here: Windows: https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/skype-for-windows/ (Windows Store or Classic Skype download) MacOS X: https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/skype-for-mac Linux: https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/skype-for-linux/ (DEB, RPM, SNAP) Use the dropdown to choose your version. Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...m.skype.raider iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skyp...304878510?mt=8 For other platforms like Windows Phone, XBox, Android and iOS tablets, Apple Watch/Android Wear, Kindle etc go here: https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/ For the record, if you still have an old Skype account that doesnt use your email as login, and you're using a username to login, you need to change that ASAP because that's why you hear reports of people's accounts being hacked. Just go to your Microsoft account security settings and disable your Skype username in "alias preferences". Once you do that, your Skype username (and old Skype password) cannot be used to login to your Microsoft account. See this article on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/co...ately_disable/ |

Re: New chat room!
What happend to the RTSR/Dirty Chat ???
Got totally spammed when I logged in... Left the conversation and got spammed the next weeks... Sad... where did all the Dirties go? :( |
Re: New chat room!
Some are likely lurking like me. I check in once or twice a week, but yeah, it seems like most people take their discussions elsewhere on the internet..

Re: New chat room!
Unfortunately people dont really hang out online in public anymore. Which is really sad. FB chat, whatsapp and other walled gardens are the way these days. The chat is still there and go in there every week or so. Me and some other dirts have a private Slack chat. We used to use Skype but it became too bloated and loads of accounts got hacked when MS switched to Microsoft Live account checkins.
EDIT: totally updated the chat room info. |
Re: New chat room!
True, there are more ways to stay in touch these days and people drift apart...
Must be an age thing I guess... Yes, every time I go to Skype Russian people want to be my friend :D |
Re: New chat room!
Last I saw, it was MIKE who got hacked. *facepalm*
But its not our fault that someones account gets hacked and decides to send out friend requests. We've cleaned it up for now. |
Re: New chat room!
Wait- is it back?
|
Re: New chat room!
It never went away. It was just not easy to find. Now its joined the modern web 2.0 world.
|
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
which is where? :D just wanted to wait a year and a half to reply
|
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
you can no longer join
|
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
Well, its still there but we are being bombarded daily by Ukrainian chatbots who are spamming all day. So we cut off joining the chat for a while. I am hoping to get a new chat system online soon, but Skype is terrible. Microsoft have removed all the security features. You cant control the room with a password anymore.

Re: New new chat room 2.0!
what about Slack?
|
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
Slack is expensive, and has 5GB limit, and 30days chat history only. Unless you pay $$$. So, i'm looking at Rocket.chat and Mattermost. Maybe Zulip. Looks like i'll try and build it myself...

Re: New new chat room 2.0!
Are you all really that against IRC? Wowza...
|
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
Surely Discord would be the correct medium to setup this on.
Im happy to setup and pay for any cost incurred - I have a media company so its no biggy If there is energy and desire, I can setup this this weekend. Thoughts? |
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
Well just to see, here is the link to a Discord.
You can go full beans and download the app, or just use on web view https://discord.gg/BKFRXBD |
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
Anyone using it? I keep getting kicked off :)
|
Re: New new chat room 2.0!
I'm curious enough that I've joined the Discord server. As a Born Dirty admin, i'd want admin rights on the chat if we were going to promote this as an offical channel. Lets have a chat on the discord server. The problems with spammers that we had meant that Skype became unusable, as MS removed most of the admin controls.

Re: New new chat room 2.0!
I run a Minidisc Discord, and it's pretty robust. I enjoy it.
