Ryan will be your host this Thursday, but some of Netscape's other Anchors and Navigators will probably be stopping by as well. So bring your voice, opinions and excitement, and meet Ryan in the chatroom at 7pm EST on Thursday where we'll talk about this week's top stories together. Then join Ryan back here next Thursday where we will continue the new open chat as a regular weekly feature. See you on Thursday!

  yeah, its a ghost town most nights. I tend to round up people if i see them online and I have nothing better to do.
  Friday nights around midnight seem to work for most people, I've found.

  That's why we're implementing a scheduled chat every Thursday night at 7pm EST. Hopefully, we can build up a time where everyone can get together and discuss things; long term, I could see us having regularly scheduled nightly chats on various topics. Like Tuesday night at the movies with Karina, or something like that.

  Netscape is weeding out the epileptics, they feel they're "high maintenance".
  Please mamasan, come back once the seizure subsides.I have an extra spoon, if needed.

  We are aware of the issues with flash and the ads. We don't intend for them to flicker. We will do our best to get that fixed.

    I have been getting the flickering affect for a long time. It seems to only occur when using the Netscape browser. Any idea on when there might be a fix?

It's the CIA espionage equipment that makes the flicker and it is, thanks God, not intended for law-abiding americans; just the mamasans of this world - lol

Survivor comes on at 8pm EST. I'm a big fan of all Thursday night TV too, that's why I planned on having it for an hour or so leading up to "primetime". I also wanted to do it on Thursday so that we could wrap up the week's news, but was afraid we wouldn't get the same crowd on a Friday night.
This is definitely one of the things we'll be talking about in the chat though.

  Well... If we're doing the chat at 7pm EST that means it's 6pm CST. STILL doesn't interrupt Survivor. ;)
