| For those on webtv |
k...first thing, if you don't already have a web page built, you will
need to go into the page builder from the home page of your web tv.
In the web page, the only page that you really need to be concerned with
is the links page
In that links page, you will want to add the starchat irc link in there
TWICE. That way, you will have the second link to alter.
In the second one, scroll through the URL address on the right hand side
of the screen...right after you see chan= erase that and type in the channel you wish to join.
Once you have changed that, go ahead and save and publish your web page
Click on the link that you have redirected and the irc will then take
you directly to the room that you set in the channel list.

Send from PC :)
it might help people stick around a little longer if you
put a notice on the greeting when people enter the room that if on dial up, it will make connection more stable if you put
3 commas after the phone number,,,,,works for me and has for years!

HELPFUL HINTS
Andy Rooney's tips for telemarketers
(1) The three little words are: "Hold On, Please..."
Saying
this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call
so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt
Then when you eventually hear the phone company's
"beep-beep-beep" tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.
2) Do you ever get those annoying phone
calls with no one on the other end?
This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the
time of day when a person answers the phone.
This technique is used to determine the
best time of day for a "real" sales person to call back and get someone at home.
What you can do after answering,
if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly
as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call and it kicks your number out of their system.
3) Another Good
Idea:
When you get "ads" enclosed with
your phone or utility bill, return these "ads" with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away.
When
you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk,
do not throw away the return envelope.
Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more
than the regular 37cents postage "IF" and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage
was around 50 cents before! the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of
your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes.
One of Andy Rooney's (60 minutes)
ideas. Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything
else that day, then just send them their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name
isn't on anything you send ! them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing!
Eventually,
the banks and credit card companies will begin getting their own junk back in the mail.
Let's let
them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice! Let's help keep our postal
service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase
postage costs again. You get the idea !
If enough people follow these tips, it will work---- I have been doing this for
years, and I get very little junk mail anymore.
