Hey everyone! It’s been a while since the last newsletter went out. We have over 500 members, with an active group of about 15 in the chatroom and 7 in the club.
Drop in and see what we’ve been up to. There’s a bunch of fun game and discussion/conversation threads.
Also, we’re finally moving the chat group to an IRC. If you use an IRC client we’re on Rizon at #MALChat or you can click this link here. Just type in a nickname, pop in and say hi. We’re a pretty friendly group, that love talking to new people.
If you have any questions/comments or suggestions, drop them off here.
If you want off the MALChat mailing list send the newsletter deliverer a message.
Thanks!
Hope to see all of you around.

Second, you must go on Chatzy...
BTW: another way to get onto chatzy is by going to the club and click where it says chat:

Very last spoiler (Has to do with the time command in Chatzy)
If you want to use another time zone than UTC
(which is equivalent to GMT/Greenwich Mean Time), you can add a parameter to the /time command.
The parameter must be in the format +/-HHMM indicating hours and minutes difference from UTC/GMT.
Examples:
/time -0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
/time +0100 (Central European Time)
/time +0930 (Australian Central Standard)
Remember to add an hour for daylight savings time during the summer.
