Gay Project Chat system started two years ago with a single chat channel #progettogay, on Azzurra server. This way every day 20/30 users joined the chat, and starting from there also joined Gay Project Forum and other services like online tests about sexual orientation and so on.

Recently a user from abroad Italy told me he wasn't allowed to enter Gay Project Chat and really Azzurra server worked only for Italian users. That's why I started immediately another chat service based on Mibbit server. And users from abroad Italy told me it worked fine al least for European users. A lot of users who joined Mibbit Chat got away because Mibbit Channel was frequently empty. Our Italian chat users where chatting on national traditional chat channel, accessible only from Italy. I have to add that no one got in touch with us from USA or Canada using Mibbit chat.

That's why I started today a new international chat channel #gayproject on irc.esper.net port 5555 this channel can be entered from everywhere in the world. But we have another problem to solve, how to make Italian users migrate from the only Italian chat to the ne new international chat in order to allow users from abroad Italy to find the chat with people really chatting. That's possible only making the old Italian chat a key chat and linking the new international chat in the place of the old one. I know it's quite hard to realize, because people don't like such tings, but it's necessary.

Please, be accustomed to use the new chat like the normal and usual Gay Project chat channel. Nothing changes for Italian users and people can join the chat from everywhere.

The Chat Guestbook allows you to write messages in your own language to the chat users specifying the time you'll come back to the chat and also more complete messages.

You can join the chat in many languages:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bihari, Bulgarian, Burmese, Catalan, Cherokee, Chinese, Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dhivehi, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Guarani, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Inuktitut, Irish, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer, Korean, Kurdish, Kyrgyz, Laothian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Marathi, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Oriya, Pashto, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Sindhi, Sinhalese, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Uighur, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yddish

Join the chat with your nickname or the one assigned by the server. When you're in the chat page, below, it says "Translation", click on "Translation", and set to "Translate me to Italian" and "Translate them in your language". Now Mibbit will instantly translate from your language into Italian and from Italian into your language, because "usually" Italian is the language of the Gay Project Chat.

Access to the Chat is subject to unbreakable rules, in addition to the prohibitions required by law and by the general rules:
1) In this chat is not admitted any pedophile content, either directly or indirectly through external links. Gay Project is fundamentally incompatible with pedophilia.
2) In this chat is not allowed to talk about politics or religion, either directly or indirectly through external links.
3) In this chat is not allowed any reference to trade, either directly or indirectly through links to commercial sites.
4) In this chat are not allowed pornographic references of any kind, directly or indirectly through external links.
5) In this chat are not allowed references of racist or discriminatory content, either directly or indirectly through external links.
6) In this chat is not allowed to post e-mail, contacts, msn, skype or any other kind of net contact.
7) The user who inserts messages or links in violation of sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be banned.

The chat channel is moderate, that means that there are channel operators (OP) marked with a star appearing in the list of users. Operators can intervene, if necessary, to remove users who do not behave properly.
On the top of the blog, on the right, you can see Rome time, that's the Chat time. Usually you can find users joined in the afternoon and till 2.00 in the night, Rome time, obviously.

Once you open the chat page, just choose a nickname for access. The server provides user nicknames that can be changed at will. Keep in mind that if you choose a nickname that has already been chosen by a user who has registered, or a nick in use, the server will automatically change it within one minute to avoid nick duplication. The right column shows the list of other connected users. Your messages must be typed in the last line at the bottom of the chat and posted simply by pressing the "Enter" button on your computer.

You can chat in two different ways:
1) as a guest, that is using the nickname assigned automatically by the server or with any other non-registered nick. Obviously, access is completely anonymous.
2) as a registered user. Let me give an example, when I enter the chat as "project" which is my registered nick, you can be sure that behind that nick it's me. My access is anonymous but using a registered nick, the nick is connected via a password to a specific person. No one but me can use the nick “project” because to use the nick "project" it's necessary to identify via a password known only to me.

What is registration for? The answer is simple. The registration is required to give some users clearly identified the status of channel operators. These users, in the presence of harassing, may exclude a user from the channel. In essence channel operators are necessary to ensure the reliability of the chat.

Users who enter the chat with a registered nick must authenticate, ie they must demonstrate they know the password for that nickname.

If you enter the chat like registered user with our Mibbit online client you only have to type your nick password.
If you enter the channel otherwise, authentication is carried out by entering the following command replacing “password” with the password for your nick.
