Welcome to the Dark-Hunter Chat Room After the applet loads, click the button below to enter the Chat Room Server.
If you would like to reserve your name for your own personal use, please
register below. It's sometimes cranky, so you might have to click the
"forgot password" after you click the confirmation in order to enter.
Once in, please change the password to something you can remember.
Register Name / Update Password
You must register before you enter. The registration is 2 parts. Part one you
enter your name and it sends an activation code to your email.(Please note, if
you don't see the email in your inbox don't forget to check your bulk/spam
folder) Once you click the activation, it sends another email with your temp
password. You then go to the chatroom and enter in your username and the temp
password. Then it shows a small menu where you can change your password and then
enter chat. It's a little convoluted, but it's a much more secure system than
the old one.
These chats are moderated at all times and
the moderator is the name that is green on the list of users and will usually be
found at the very top. For the protection of the users, all chats are now
transcripted and all IP's are logged. These IP's are kept confidential and will
only be shared with the appropriate authorities should someone threaten the
safety of the members of the room or site. The chatroom can accommodate
up to 100 people at the same time. Because of this, everyone needs to be
respectful and on their best behavior. Those who refuse to follow the rules will
be booted from the chat and possibly banned at the Admin's discretion.
Chat Rules:
Important notice: NO ONE not directly authorized by Sherrilyn is allowed to play any Dark-Hunter, Were-Hunter or Dream-Hunter who is portrayed in any of Sherrilyn's works at any time. Only those handful who are known to Sherrilyn are allowed to come in as characters from her works.
Thanks so much for being understanding and for making the Dark-Hunter world safe and fun for everyone.
Absolutely NO private chat messages to the characters while
they are in chat!
Otherwise the guest won't be able to respond to the questions being asked. The
guest
will turn this feature off the minute he/she enters.
When coming and going, and there is no guest present,
feel free to greet each other. When ANY guest is present and we come in and/or leave, only the
guest will acknowledge the fact.
Otherwise we end up with a long screen of hellos and goodbyes.
We will go slowly so that the guest may answer any question. When you ask a question, type the
guest's name and a `?'. (i.e. Styxx
?) The Admin will set up a queue and will call on you when it's your turn to ask a
question.
If we are just chatting and someone has a question for someone else, it's best to do the same as we do with the
guest - name and `?'
We have lots of touch typists, but a lot of hunt & peck typists too, so we have to give everyone a chance to talk and no one particularly dominate the conversation.
As a matter of courtesy, please check the list of who is in the room and read the last question to see what is going on before typing.
The purpose of the chats is to have fun, learn about the guest, to talk with
him or her. Everyone has questions and wants to say something, but we need to help them as much as possible, so that they will want to come back. If we can show them that we know how to be civil and polite - they will come often. So pull up a virtual sofa, chair or floor pillow, and we sit and have a good time.
ABOVE ALL REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR POSTS PG. The Chats are live and accessible
by anyone on the Internet, so please act accordingly and say nothing that could
offend younger participants.
The final rule is to be respectful of each other and have a lot of fun. Sanctuary binds us together and is our haven.
We also want to remind you that the purpose
of this chatroom is to have fun. By entering chat you are agreeing that neither
Sherrilyn Kenyon nor anyone who claims to know her or represent her is
responsible for giving any kind of professional or relationship advice. If you
have any kind of legal or medical problem, please consult a local attorney or
doctor and do not rely on any advice given out in chat.
Likewise the opinions and comments made by
those in chat are NOT Sherrilyn's opinions and are never to be construed as
such. They are the opinions of those who state them and belong solely to them
and should never be construed as belonging to Sherrilyn or any of her
creations. Any information about future works or character traits that are
not found in the books themselves are no guarantee that those comments are part
of the series. Remember, the guests will often take liberties and those comments
will have no bearing on Sherrilyn's view of her future works.
Hours for Chat:
Regular chats for all fans young and
old (and these are the ones that Sherrilyn and her characters will attend) start approximately M-F 8:30-midnight EST. Come in and meet
others who love the DH world too.
Weekend chats are held at the
discretion of the admin moderators who will open it as their schedule permits.
If they are able to open the chat on the weekend, they will post that the room
is open on the Dark-Hunter
bbs.
