Private Room Operation

Here are some common questions about inviting people to SOI from outside the SOI chat rooms:

Q: What is the URL for SOI?
A: There are 5 entrances to SOI and its sister states.. they are:
http://soi.hyperchat.com/ - State of Insanity
http://soc.hyperchat.com/ - State of Confusion
http://soa.hyperchat.com/ - State of Affairs
http://sos.hyperchat.com/ - State of Submission
http://mirror.hyperchat.com/ - SOI Mirror Site
Q: Can I drop a link directly into a room?
A: Yes, the syntax for that is:
http://soi.hyperchat.com/cgi-bin/soi.cgi?room=roomname
where roomname is the 2-8 character ID that would normally go in the FIND box.
If the room is a private room, then you can also include the password directly on the URL. However, if you do this, anyone can click on the link and enter the private room. The syntax for dropping a link into a private room with a password is:
http://soi.hyperchat.com/cgi-bin/soi.cgi?room=roomname&password=password
where roomname is again the room ID.
where password is a valid password to the room.
Whenever you invite someone to SOI using a link, they will arrive with the username of "Visitor"... Once inside SOI.. they may change their username if they prefer by changing the value in the FROM box...

Q: Is there a way to invite people to private room without passwords?
A: If they have posted in the site, then yes. Simply click on the Asterisk after the timestamp of their post, put the room name in the box next to the "Invite" button, and then press the Invite Button.
