Should Austin add a chat?

forum chats never work out =/

Only cause you don't participate.

whats the point of a forum if it has a chatroom? would anyone still post? probly not.

What is stopping us from chatting the way it is? If we also want to get more personal, we could PM as well.

I third this.

No (because I'm lame)

How does it make you lame if you don't think a chat room is necessary?

I voted no. I was a mod on one other site, and an administrator on another. The chat room was a PIA, especially if there is no one to monitor it.
Just my opinion. I think there are other improvements for this site that would be better spent but not important yet.
Thanks for the suggestion tho'. I'm sure the admins appreciate your input.

Chatrooms are difficult, both in moderation and in ensuring that technical information is not passed along through it defeating the point of the forum.

I am a Moderator on another forum and we tried a chatroom and it didn't work out that well. We just chat in an off topic thread.

 

[Chris]

We chat in every thread.

Chatting on the forum is too slow, especially since SOMEONE set a 30 seconds between posts limiter

 

[Redjeeper]

thats to keep the spammers down like uhhhhhhh...... some people that get the msg about tthe 30 second rule lols.

 

[Xpress]

I get it all the time. Does that mean it likes me?

 

[Chris]

I have never got that message..

 

[Redjeeper]

i haven't ether on this board. but i did on another site. then i got banned for making fun of the "30 second rule" rofl.

 

[Xpress]

Does that mean... austin will ban me?

 

[oldognewtrick]

I voted no. I spend to much time here already and why do we need chat?
