Paltalk Questions Need Answers [merged] - The Unofficial Opie and Anthony Message Board

Devilock · 02-02-2006, 11:53 AM

While listening to the show today I decided to download Paltalk. I have a few questions for any experienced user who might be able to help me:

1) Do you need to subscribe to the Plus or Extreme Service in order to gain access to the O&A / Wackbag / Pest rooms?

2) The rooms don't appear in the search results window. I've tried "Pest", "O & A", "Wackbag", and "Opie Anthony" and got nothing back.

3) Do you need a Web cam to view video, or only to show video?

4) What are the names of the more popular O&A fan rooms?

Thanks in advance...I am sure there are other's out there who must have the same questions.

They are free to join, but you have to pay for video. It sounds like you didn't set the search to include adult content.

I always just type in "opie" and all the rooms come up. Typing in more will limit the search.

Also, when you do the search, click on either the adult playground or adult conversation section first and then ok the disclaimer before hitting search.

1. No, you don't need to upgrade to have access to the rooms. You will have to upgrade to get streaming video. I think the basic has a slower refresh rate, but I could be wrong.

2. Do what Silera does and search "opie" and your problem should be solved. And yes, make sure you allow adult content.

3. You do not need a web cam to view video, only to send it. I upgraded and viewed video before I had a cam.

4. If you search "opie" you'll see the rooms. There will also be "members in room" count next to the name, so you can see what's "popular" at the moment. What's more popular isn't always more gooder, IMO. You might thouroughly enjoy a room that I have no interest in. Visit them all, and decide from there.

And don't forget to put your paltalk sn in your wackbag profile.

Devilock · 02-02-2006, 01:01 PM

That seemed to work. I got in two rooms using that method in the search. However, I got the boot almost immediately as I was identifying myself. So is that how it is normally? If so forget it...

What about the studio cam? What is the name of that chat room?

Howmany rooms are there normally set up durrign the live shows?

Thanks for the help...

The studio cam is Opie and Anthony Live!

I have no idea how many other rooms there are. I'm usually working during show time.

Read the other thread about the paltalk rooms. A couple admins of other rooms have identified themselves. Get their paltalk sn's (very easy if they've updated their wackbag profile), and IM them if you can't get into a room, or if you get kicked out.

Devilock · 02-02-2006, 02:45 PM

Ugh! Seems like a _lot_ of work! I don't know if its worth it. I

am very intrested in the studio cam, and hearing discussion that takes place during breaks, but I have very little interest in "hanging out" in a video chat room with other fans when the show isn't on live. Wackbag fills that void quite well already.

I already give High Voltage +8 hours a day 5 days a week, and I definately don't feel like having the door to a chat room slammed in my face simply for showing up.

I'm basically a nobody here on the board...and I've already experienced what can happen if you cross paths with a "higher-up" who's having a bad day and needs to boost their ego.

I can only imagine its worse in a chatroom situation.

Who are the admins on the studio cam room? And, do they tend to ban people at will if they are unknown or not recognized as "super fans" by their username?

Any insight would be appreciated...

Thanks, Dev

Anthony is the head admin in the live room. His GF as well as some others are also @'s.

You typically will only be bounced if you are harrassing Anthony, the women in the room, or other members of the room. Also if your name is blatently arab, those are pretty much the reasons why you'd get bounced.

Just don't follow Dugout Dug as an example of how to behave in the room. It could get you corrrrrected (not bounced, though) by one of the admins.

What about the free trial? I would like to see what paltalk is like for a week for free. However I don't feel comfortable throwing around my credit card number just in case the subscription doesn't get cancelled after that week. Does anyone have any video examples of what pal talk is like before I possibly go out and buy it.

you can check out the video without paying for anything. The difference is that the video windows only stay open for a short time (10 seconds, I think), then prompt you to upgrade. There are two levels to upgrade to, $40 and $60. The $60 will let you view unlimited rooms simulaneously, while the $40 allows something like 6 at a time. It's a pretty good service, and worth the upgrade I think. I checked out the free version for a few days to see if I liked it, then paid the $60.

Do they offer a yearly sub rate?

I sure it's there but I can't find it. So if anyone has a link that would be great.

ok, I'm going to try to use small words.

1. go to paltalk.com
2. click "member login"
3. click "upgrade now"
4. read about the different plans and look at the video examples for each

You guys are killing me here. I know all that but the page doesn't load for me. This is how the page loads and if I click on the "subscribe to plus" it doesn't do anything.

HummerTuesdays · 02-14-2006, 02:59 PM

Why don't you log into paltalk, and go into one of the paltalk help rooms? They probably know more than we do, since they work for the company.

Tried that already. Those links didn't work either. I was able to sent in a help request though.

I had the same problem I could not click on anything,it seeems to be a java script problem.
Even in IE the page would not load correctly.
Try reinstalling firefox.It worked for me.

No, I've tried on multiple computers and still no luck. Also paltalk never got back to me about it. When my current sub runs out I'm going to try and send myself a gift sub.
