Get your
Cartoon Chat On!

Cross Movement's Webmaster has become a looney tune. Literally! If you haven't tried cartoon chat before, you are in for a whole new looney world!

If you already know what cartoon chat is all about, proceed, in cartoon-like fashion, through one of the entrances below...

NEW! There are now two rooms to chat in! Make your choice:

Room 1: CMChat		Room 2: #Crossmovement
	Try here first. If you can't get in, try option entrance 2.		Alternative room (# sign is needed).
Getting an error message that says type RAW PING or QUOTE PONG? Click here.

For those of you new to cartoon chat, it's as easy as 1-2-3. Just follow these directions:

1. Download and Install Microsoft Chat 2.5 onto your computer by clicking here: MS Chat 2.5 Download Site.

2. Click here to Enter the Cartoon Chatroom. This will cause a second screen to pop up. In that screen click ROOM and then ENTER ROOM from the top menu choices. (Note: If you receive any sort of server error, try to enter an alternative room, Room 2, here.)

3. You want to enter the room "CMChat" so type in CMChat. (Note: If you entered through the alterative room, you'll need to type in #Crossmovement—yes, include the "#"). There is no password set. JD is the moderator of both rooms (that's me, grin.) To switch to the comic strip mode, click VIEW and COMIC STRIP. This will allow you to view your chat in cartoons like the pictures on this page.

Note: If you are logging on for one of the serious chat sessions, like the apologetics chat series, you may switch to the "plain text view."

And there you have it, folks! As easy as 1-2-3! To become an advanced user, you may want to peep these online manual links!

For you advanced cartoon chat heads...here are links to download more chat characters and cartoon backgrounds!

Chat Backgrounds

Chat Characters

Download the Character Editor - Yo! It'd be PHAT if someone could make some Cross Movement cartoon-like characters using this, or some characters from the Bible! That'd be dope! Any interested artists? Pleeeeease lemme know!

Cartoon Chat Web Ring - link coming

Download a whole bunch of characters in one zip file by clicking the image to the left!

Ping Pong?
If you are getting this error message, here's the remedy:

1. Do a FIND on your c:\drive to local any file with the word CHAT in it. This should pull up the cchat.exe file along with some other cchat files. Delete them.

2. Download a Microsoft Chat 2.5 from download.com. Direct link here.

3. Now install the Chat executable you just downloaded, and for some reason, you won't have the problem. (We suspect that some MSN machines are somehow configured to only allow you to connect to a MSN chat server.)
