For some reason, I'm thinking this is a bad idea
I know sites with chat, as we all do, and I find it just seems to attract trolls and it makes the site look a bit dirgy. It can also scare away new members....I'd probably use it, but I'm not saying it's a great idea.
I also don't think this site really needs it, the forums work fairly well, and we have a PM system...
But, albumaster's call. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!

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. |
Hmm, I think outlaw's suggestion of a Lounge thread is better. We don't really need a facebook style chat function, I think.

I think with chat option there would be less comments on people's charts, O/T comments on certain threads, less PMing too I guess. You decide if that's good or bad. Personally I wouldn't mind it.

I'm not against adding this type of feature at some point, but it's not high priority at the moment. If I can squeeze it in, and there is support for it, it will get done at some point.
I think if it was added, it would stand alone a little bit, so it doesn't detract from the rest of the site. I wouldn't want it to take too much conversation away from the forums, and chat rooms do tend to attract spammers and bots, so there will be an overhead in making sure the feature is not abused.
