Final Furlong Web Chat
Shanthi should be in the chat whenever she is online, though she may not always be
available to chat. Type
/whois Shanthi, click on the "Status" button at the bottom, and check any line 4 lines from the bottom that might say
Shanthi is away:
(with some sort of away message) or just
Shanthi: and a message. If that's
present, she's probably not available for chatting. If, however, it just says
Shanthi
has been idle 190 minutes (or something to that effect), then she should be around, and
just be patient and she should say hi...it's just a question of noticing that someone
has joined the room. :-) (Another option is to Private Message her, using
/privmsg Shanthi and then your message).
Enjoy chatting!
