chuunin_archiveSince we heard that Naruto was going to start on Toonami, a few friends and I came up with the idea to start an AIM chatroom where people can go and talk about the dub. The idea came from another community we're part of that does the same thing for another series. It's been a lot of fun and we wanted to try and do the same with Naruto. The chatroom name is "narutodub" and it is accessible through AOL Instanst Messenger.
We just wanted to have a place where fans could gather to react to the dub eps as it airs, real time reaction instead of going back and forth in an LJ thread of reactions trying to reply in a dozen different places to similar comments by different people or something like that.
We've discovered through experience that the AIM chat room limit is something like 36 people, so whenever there's too many people, feel free to enter "narutodub2" and so on.
Now HOW do you get into the chat room? SIMPLE! Firstly, you have to have either AOL or AIM. I have AIM, so I'll explain what I do: I have my on SN on my Buddy List for easy access. I click on my SN, right-click to open a menu, going down to "Send Chat Invitation," and THEN, on the window that pops up, you'll see in the 3rd (and last) field "Chat room name." Change the name in that line to "narutodub" and hit send. And BAM! You're there! If that doesn't work, try again, or maybe the room is full and you should try again but use "narutodub2" instead.
REMINDER: When the room is FULL it is hard to keep up with what's going on, so try not to spaz and SPAM too much. Lots of near monosyllabic responses at once leads to a WHOLE bunch of text to suddenly see scrolling up the screen, and to those new to chat, it can be VERY intimidating (and headache inducing).
SUGGESTION: Please keep use of bold text, background colors, and hard to quickly read font styles (and colors) to a minimum. While they may be pretty and convey your personality, when in crowds, simble tends to be better for the sanity of all. (Not that we're all that sane, but the whole world doesn't need to know that.)
