Yes, chat is working while we are broadcasting.

Content pour toi Perso je rale un peu car ils ne m'ont pas répondu pour le code Ellusionist.

Celui que tu donnes plus haut doit être le même pour tout le monde, je vais tester avec. Par contre si c'est bon, c'est peut-être pas top de le donner à tout le monde y compris ceux qui ne sont pas enregistrés, non ?

Effectivement dans le doute j'ai préferé le retirer, evitons des soucis à VM et donc à Thomas.

[Richard CCH]

Toutes mes excuses!

Comme je l'ai dit, j'ai fait un copier coller de MP reçu mais je n'ai pas tout relu (et David non plus...) et n'ai pas vu la présence de ce code... désolé

En tout cas, il reste 1 journée et demi... foncez acheter un code d'accès!

[Richard CCH]

En direct, routine inédite de Ponta...

[Invité]

Et pour ceux qui ont raté des bouts entiers visiblement ... c'est pas encore en ligne ...
