Forum's Chat Room
« on: May 13, 2011, 12:22:45 AM »
Do any of you losers ever use the chatroom?

Just wondering if we should keep it or not.

I log in a lot, but there is never anyone there.

I think the main problem is that you can't see who's in it without entering.  There should be a way to see it from outside.

Holiday?  Maestro?

How about posting a scheduled time when most of us can meet?
That would be neat, eh?

I really, really like the IDEA of a chatroom. But every time I check in, there's never anybody in there. As somebody who is more or less always has the forum open, it'd be nice to have some real-time conversation. But this type of community isn't particularly suited for it. Unless there was a massive influx of people wanting to chime in about what they bought.

I was one of the early supporter of a chatroom for the forum,but after a while i began to think,how many conversations of great importance i may have missed,because i wasn`t logged in at the time; so much valuable info would be lost forever if we all talked in the room,then, forgot or didn`t bother to post anything on the public pages.
This made me change my mind and felt it would be better without it.
Eventually the chat function was given a trial and i did log in regularly,but the chance of any other member logging in at the same time was remote,then when i did bump into a fellow user,the lag was intolerable..not sure whether the problem was universal or perhaps just my provider,but eventually i stopped even checking for users..
So while its there i don`t mind it,but i dont think it would be sorley missed if it was removed.

I only managed contact once. That was with Harry. It would be great if we could somehow miraculously actually get it going.

I like to run me mouth  ;D

Quick, everyone to that chat room to discuss whether we should keep it or not. It might go faster. ;D
