Live Chat

I've seen this on other forum boards before, and I think it would be a nice perk for the members here.
I'm suggesting a live chat are for the members of TechIMO. Now I'm not trying to use this as a way to fix peoples problems. More of a community based chat. I think if we only allowed members with at least 50 posts or so in, just to avoid the people wanting "HELP NOW!!!111!"
You could assign mods to moderate it to keep everything under control.
All in all, I think it would be a hit..


What do you think?

I'm for it, but with a 500, or 1000 post requirement

Been done, got rid of it. Check a little deeper into the suggestion forum.

Ok..
So why did you get rid of it?
I think it would be great for the IIJM'er crew. And the same for the folder bunch. I know I end up talking to someone via IM whenever I visit the site. I know I'm not the only one like that too.
Was there issues with it or what?

That was a while ago though - could be interesting especially for the debateIMO section .

Different chatrooms would be cool. I could see it getting to congested with just one chatroom. Just a suggestion.

I agree with monsters.
Have a folder chat, a community thread, debate thread, and even a Moderator chat. It would be easier for the mods to talk that way too.
Just a suggestion..

I think it's worth another shot. At least if we could have a quiz bot again! Right, Whir, you QuizMeister, you?!?

Cheers
Mick

Yeah, it was done before, and if I remember correctly it was rarely used (Usually when I was there I was usually the only one). Wouldn't mind it again, but don't be surprised if it does not get utilized...
