the chat facility on the site

[james mckinlay]

hi everyone i been on the forum for a bit now and i have noticed i dont know if anyone else has but there is never anyone on the chat part of the site so i was thinking why not try and set a time and day to have a group chat on here then we could all talk about how we are doing and just have a laugh.

anyone any ideas

james

Knight tried it once and I went in and somhow we missed each other

As the board is busier, there may be more chance of meeting in the chat room.

Hey there! When i first joined here it was so quiet i didn't see anyone in there either but maybe we should do what i do on my website and organise a regular time and day so that we can talk to each other! There are a lot more people talking here now so there is a chance that we will be here at the same time!

Hope to chat soon, Sweet X x X

Good idea about meeting up in the chat area.

Any thoughts on how we can go about it?

Well, the "chat area" is about the only bit of the "old" site left. It's externally hosted (i.e. not by me), and I'm not sure if it ever worked, though you are of course very welcome to try.

On balance though, I'm not a huge fan of either chat or for that matter, PMs as neither of these help the wider community. They are not archived to look back on later either. Asking for help in a chat room is fair enough, but what if the one person with shared experience was offline? They could easily answer a forum post though!
