ZUChat
From Zelda Wiki.org
The term "ZUChat" may refer to one of three things:
Contents |
#zuchat
The original name for the Zelda Universe chat room. Created by Lozzie, it was located on a random IRC server back in July 2003 for ZUers to talk while the forums were down. Eventually, it morphed into the ZU chat room we all know today.
After the move of the chat to Gnug-IRC, the room was renamed to #zelda, with #zuchat being recommissioned as a veterans hangout. Today, it is largely empty, with chat vets having moved onto a handful of other channels to serve the purpose of a hangout away from #zelda.
Starship ZUChat
A loose trolling group that grew out of #zuchat. See Starship ZUChat for more info.
ZUChat, the person
When the Java-based webchat was introduced to ZU, the default name for anybody joining was named "ZUChat." As most of the channel regulars used a program such as mIRC or X-Chat to connect to the chat, 95% of the time anybody joining as a ZUChat was usually a N00b, and 99% of the time the ZUChats got picked on by the regular chat members and usually is ran out of the chat room.
Example:
[12:08]ZUChat has entered #zelda [12:09]Lars: OMFG, IT'S A ZUCHAT!! [12:09]*Phatman hugs the ZUChat [12:10]ZUChat has left #zelda
Sentiments of the name ZUChat:
[12:58:11 AM] <AutoMatt> kwsn: Zuchat is another name for fail.
In February 2008, the infamous Java chat was replaced with a new Java applet integrated to the ZU forums. Anybody joining the chat would then automatically join as their forum name, with unregistered users and those not logged in joining as Unregistered, thus effectively limiting the fun of ZUChat to those old enough to remember it.
