Bree's Chat

On November 28 at 6pm PST (2am GMT) Bree was scheduled to ask fans for advice on what she should do next in a longlygirl15 chat room. Users were told that this chat would not take place in the regular "Userplane" chat room but rather in an alternative platform. As the scheduled time approached the lonelygirl15 web site began to function slower and slower and at times was essentially inoperable. The link the the new chat room never became operable. Users began to migrate to the normal "Userplane" chat room and as rooms filled up additional ones were created. Essentially this meant that the lonelygirl15 characters who participated (Bree, Jonas and Gemma) could only interface with participants in one of the rooms.

A partial transcript of the chat is available.

Male and female chatters have different icons displayed next to their usernames. On a left click on a user name in the list user's menu will appear.

Messages area

Messages area displays chat messages. Each entry contains time, sender name, recipient (for private and personal messages) and message text. On the top of the message area there are 2 buttons: Chat Rooms and History. If you click Chat Rooms button, a rooms list window where you select the room you wish to join will appear. Clicking History button will allow to view chat history that you can copy to the clipboard. Send a message area

What happened to the old chat room?

The original LG15 chat room operateed using an Adobe Flash based web page from Userplane, a company that was recently purchased by America Online (a Time Warner Inc. subsiduary}. The producers of Lonelygirl15 did not benefit financially form this arrangement. Sources such as myspace,friendster, date.com, Honda, and Red Bull use userplane chat services. In order to support the needs of live discussion between fans and characters the producers decided to replace the Userplane solution with software they could control directly.
