That'd be sweet, like what they have on Facebook so we could chat with our friends lol
I'm with Sidewinder. But then I'm probably the last person alive, or at least my age, who isn't on bloody facebook!
It's hardly as if private messages are too much of an effort as it stands.
I think it could detract from the forums themselves aswell.
No not like on facebook, it would just be a moderated chatbox.
@aIDAN these forums are here for informational purposes, the chatbox would be just a chatbox
You dont have to enter the chatbox. Nothing will change for you then.
I respectfully disagree;
PMs are an effort! But simply chatting could make back-and-forth conversations much less complicated. I also feel that being able to chat instantly with other online members would improve friendships in our community.
But I do see how it could possibly take the focus away from the actual forums if everyone is simply communicating through chat. (And not using the forums.)
Like I said, you could easily post a link about your topic and people can respond to it. It's just more personal and easy to ask quick advice. Also talk about daily stuff etc. It will enhance the closeness of the community in a non-gay way
Thanks for the suggestion, Bjorn. I think it's a great idea as the Gym grows by leaps and bounds. It's in the "suggestion box." They tried it at M*****s of S*ze (when I was a mod/member there). I'm not sure how successful it became. But that does not mean it can't work here.
It would look kinda like this.
On the right side you can see the member who are connected to the server and that specific chatroom. IRC even offers hidden rooms(easy for mods) and passworded channels.
