Internet Ray Chats
|
| Sunday 21st of March 1999 The very first chat was a big success. A large amount of the club members joined the yahoo chat room. After 2 hours we moved to IRC Undernet because Ray was unable to get in. (He had forgotten his pasword). There we chatted with Ray about his past and his future plans. Ray also enjoyed it and he promissed to do an IRC chat every fortnight. (Transcript (text file - 46kB)) | |
| Sunday 4th of April 1999 - Easter Sunday Chat 2. A couple of us started to experiment with Netmeeting and the others continued the old fashioned way: typing. Ray was unable to join: he had to attend an Easter dinner at his brother's house. But he joined us for a short chat the next day. He told us about a possible TV show in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (Transcript (text file - 3kB)) | |
| Sunday 18th of April 1999 No info available due to technical error (well, Adri just had to much wine and forgot to log the chat :-). If any one has a chat log from this day, please send it in to us... | |

| Saturday 9th of October 1999 The first chat on a saturday evening and probably the last one too. Only two people turned up. No log... | |
| Sunday 5th of December 1999 (Transcript (text file - 37kb)). | |
| Wednesday 15th of December 1999 A special one-off daytime yahoo webchat with superstar Ray Cokes. The web chat went... but not very vividly. Only 3 persons showed up beside Ray. So it was a quiet session. Ray didn't say much about his plans. He once again mentioned the "FridayNetLive" show. He was very optimistic about that. No log... (Yahoo does not offer that feature :( ) | |
| Wednesday 29th of December 1999 Trine is back and we also added the webchat option for the first time. Chris was the first one to try it out. Ray turned up to wish us a Happy New Year and thank his fans for all their support during '99 (Transcript (text file - 29kb)) | |
| Sunday 23rd of January 2000 This was a nice and long chat. We had a few new members join in. Thanks for coming by Kirsten, Puti and Kinkster. The "Best of" show on MTV Germany did help refresh people's minds a bit. :) Ray came too and entertained the girls... (Transcript (text file - 47kb)) | |
| Sunday 20th of February 2000 Not much of Ray tonight. He was not home, but still took some time to drop in and say hi from his friend's computer. Thank you for that Ray. A few newbies today too, Niki_bs and Cy (you can now see him on the chat regulars page). Marieke was baby.. err.. kid-sitting, and hearing strange noises... hmmmm! All in all a nice chat, just wish more people would come... (Transcript (text file - 49kb)) | |
| Sunday 26th of March 2000 Ray made an appearance again. He was out, but dropped by from a friend's computer. Later he joined us from his own computer at home. He had exciting news about shows he was working on, but read for yourself. This time we also had a few newcomers - welcome to the club. (Transcript (text file - 52kb)) | |
| Sunday 30th of April 2000 New chat participant record! Thanks to you all for coming. It was a very good chat this time, and Ray was able to stay during most of it. Due to some server problems we had a bad start, but after a move to Undernet it went smooth from there on. We apologize for a little messy log. Most of the chat should be there. (Transcript (text file - 56kb)) | |
| Sunday 28th of May 2000 This time we once again had a nice and cosy chat. We didn't have as many guests as last time, but it was a decent turnout nevertheless. Ray had a few announcements, but read the log to learn more. Welcome to the new visitors we had today. (Transcript (text file - 86kb)) | |
| Sunday 25th of June 2000 Great chat this evening. Ray stayed for a very long time and told us about his recent show on French tv M6. He also talked some more about the Net show fridaynetlive.com that he hopes will be on air sooner than you can say "woohay". :) Anyway - read the log, it's worth it! (Transcript (text file - 61kb)) | |
| Sunday 6th of August 2000 Only a medium crowd attended the chat tonight, but the few that were there got some interesting thoughts and ideas from Ray. Unfortunately those parts have been censored out of the log for safety reasons, so you had to be there to hear it. Ray spent almost the whole night with us, and we basically had a cosy chat that got rather naughty at times! :) (Transcript (text file - 54kb)) | |
| Sunday 10th of September 2000 Not the biggest crowd ever and Ray didn't show up this time. Maybe the invitations had been sent out too early. Still the ones that came had a good time. (Transcript (text file - 65kb)) | |
| Sunday 1st of October 2000 A nice and cosy, yet at times rather fishy, chat. Ray didn't make an appearance this time either, but it looked like people had a good time anyway. (Transcript (text file - 65kb)) | |
| Sunday 3rd of December 2000 Great chat this time! Ray took part in the chat today, and he spend much time there telling about his plans and his new shows in France. We had a record high turnout for the chat this time. At one point we were 20 people in the room. Thanks to all that came - especially the newcomers! (Transcript (text file - 90kb)) | |
| Friday 29th of December 2000 A special Christmas chat. Ray came and told us his latest news, for instance that the new radio show had been postponed. A nice turnout for a Friday night. Thanks to those that came. The chat wasn't as long as usual, but still very nice... (Transcript (text file - 18kb)) | |
| Sunday 11th of February 2001 A quiet first chat of the new year. Ray didn't attend this time - he was in France. Chat went nice and smooth, not the big discussions, but the ones that came had a good time, I'm sure. (Transcript (text file - 38kb)) | |
| Sunday
8th of April 2001 A small group gathered for this chat, and it turned out to be alright. :) Ray made an appearance and told us about new plans for the future. Some station names have been censored in this log and replaced with "***". Have fun reading... (Transcript (text file - 66kb)) | |

20th of May 2001 Ray joined us to tell a bit about his upcoming show on VH1 UK in June. We had a nice little crowd this time - a few new people. Topics covered everything from crap TV to elephants...? (Transcript (text file - 78kb)) | |

| Sunday 29th of July 2001 Nice and cosy chat, with a few new faces there too. Not so big a turnout overall - maybe people were on vacations. Ray came by and told us a bit about the Still Wanted Weekend - still no offer to do a series... :( (Transcript (text file - 69kb)) No resume (too little to tell) | |
| Sunday 2nd of September 2001 Big crowd for the chat tonight. Thanks to all the new people for showing up! Keep coming back! :) Ray also joined us, via his laptop in a hotel room in Paris. Thanks Ray! He told us about starting recordings for a new, serious music show for ARTE. That was why he was in France. (Transcript (text file - 111kb)) Resume | |
| Sunday 7th of October 2001 Not as big a crowd as last time, but it was a nice chat never the less. Ray joined us too, and had fun with us. Not much new to tell, other than the recordings for the ARTE shows had begun. The chat got a bit naughty towards the end... read for yourself. (Transcript (text file - 76kb)) No resume | |
| Sunday 11th of November 2001 Usual crowd, nice turnout. Ray came in too, and said he was having dinner guests, so he wouldn't stay long. He ended up being there all night - hehe! This chat log contains language that a few weak souled persons might find offending... :) (Transcript (text file - 82kb)) No resume | |

| Sunday 30th of December 2001 Cosy little chat, here on the second last day of the year. Ray appeared very late, but he did come by to say hi. The crowd was not so big, and the conversation running a bit slow at times. But all in all a nice evening. (Transcript (text file - 50kb)) No resume | |
| Sunday 3rd of February 2002 Not very many people attended this chat. And Ray did not join us either. The topics discussed were few, and all in all, not much of interest arose. :) If you still want to see what went on, here is the log: (Transcript (text file - 28kb)) No resume | |
| Sunday 10th of March 2002
Ray did not join the chat this night. His ISP had a breakdown, so he was unable to get online. Among the people there, there was some chit-chat going on. Apparantly Bryan Adams is quite popular? (Transcript (text file - 34kb)) No resume | |
| Sunday 7th of April 2002 Nice little crowd tonight. Ray joined in too, and stayed most of the evening. No news about shows, apart from Ray telling that he had Björk on the Arte show, and would soon have Pet Shop Boys. Those shows will be aired later on. (Transcript (text file - 58kb)) No resume | |
| Sunday 5th of May 2002 Not much to tell. Ray wasn't present. The few that turned up enjoyed themselves for some hours. (Transcript (text file - 25kb)) No resume | |

| Sunday 15th of September 2002 A good chat on our new chat server. A few problems for people on the webchat, but I promise it will be better next time. Afterall it did work. :) Ray came to say hi to his fans, and tell us about his immediate plans. He might get a new show on Belgian TV. Low budget, live show, just the way we love him! Oh, and he was writing songs for a band he knew...? (Transcript (text file - 71kb)) | |
| Sunday 13th of October 2002 Chat worked fine technology wise this time. But not very many people came to take part in the chat. Ray showed up to say hi, but had no news to tell. It was good to see him, nevertheless. He is still busy with the ARTE show, Music Planet 2Nite, which he is now solo host of! (Transcript (text file - 29kb)) | |
| Sunday 17th of November 2002 Small crowd this night. Come on people, join the chats! Ray was there, and the few that were there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Not many news, other than Ray is still working on some song? Well, read for yourself... (Transcript (text file - 39kb)) | |
| Sunday 8th of December 2002 Nice meeting this time. Ray was with us all the way, and talked about his song, that will probably be released in the Spring of 2003. We can't wait! :) (Transcript (text file - 62kb)) | |
| Sunday 12th of January 2003 After a slow start, people started to appear after about an hour. Ray did not grace us with his presence this time, but the fans had a nice chat after all. (Transcript (text file - 30kb)) | |
| Sunday 30th of March 2003 Ray set this date, but had a computer burn down, so he couldn't make it. The chat was very quiet - basically people were waiting for Mr. Cokes to come. Please read Ray's Column to see why he didn't make it. (Transcript (text file - 34kb)) | |
| Sunday 4th of May 2003 Nice and lively chat today. About 12-15 people dropped by all in all, including Ray. He talked about some ongoing negotiations, but no real news as of yet. He expected to have more to tell in about a month. The music he was working on will not be released as a single, but we might get exclusive access to the song here on the site! (Transcript (text file - 47kb)) | |
| Sunday 10th of August 2003 Because so few people showed up for the chat, and Ray was not there either - the log will not be published. | |
| Sunday 18th of January 2004 It was a small group of people, but a nice chat. Ray showed up and stayed with us for an hour or so. He told that he was opening a Youth Humanitarian Day in the EU parliament next week. Other than that, not really any news. (Transcript (text file - 39kb)) |
