I was thinking: what about having a chat function on BEA, where users can chat with other users currently on the site? I know we've got messages and the forums, but this would be a more instant way of communicating with other members. Just a thought
I tend to agree. if we added it, it would have to be done carefully (and not for a little while anyway as there's quite a few other changes waiting to be completed already).
I think people would post what they want everyone to know in the forums still (e.g. favorite albums, opinions on artists, etc), but it would be convenient for users that are close to instantly engage in sharing love for music, sharing suggestions, etc. I think it would clean up the charts and forums of small back-and-forth conversations. That being said, it would also provide the possibility of verbal abuse that couldn't be monitored at all, unlike the charts and forums; I think the complaint system in place now would still be adequate though.
You know, I could make something like this tonight before albummaster comes online. I'll simply make a thread called 'BEA Lounge' and put it as a sticky in the 'Lounge'. Basically people could go on there and post "Good Morning" and someone else replies "Good Morning" and they can talk to the people who may be online.
Unless you mean a facebook style chat function. I personally wouldn't want one on the forum but we'll see what albummaster has to say.
