Wondering!! If "simplydiscus" ever had a live chat room before I joined? I see a lot of activities in this forum and just thought it would be good to have a live chat room to discuss discus. Just a thought!

Hi Prabhu,

We did have one and technically still do, but no one really used it...so I guess its history for now....If there was serious interest I think Ryan and I could be persuaded to try setting one up again...and actively managing it.

Sound off people if you want a chat and would actually use it.

thanks,
al

We use this one:

It's supported and compatible w/this new version of VB.

I've had multiple chat rooms here over the years, but I always end up removing them because they never get used. We even used to plan chat times and eventually people quit showing up. Then there was the problem of things getting way off-topic, emotions ran high when we had controversial threads, people were flaming each other in chat, etc. It got ugly. It's one of the reasons we quit doing it for a while (I'm surprised Al doesn't remember this... maybe he blocked it out ).

ok.. then MORE SMILY-icons please

Hmmm that must have been back when I was dealing with that forum induced ulcer? or maybe that was when I lost my hair?, Hmmm come to think of it...I Think it was when I almost quit the hobby and closed the forum because I was tired of adults acting like juveniles......Lol..yes I think you are right Ryan...I blocked it out.

I say yay for the chat! It would be extremely helpful for those in need of help. Having to message back and forth on dealing with issues can be a little time consuming. I for one would be fully engaged with a person if they needed help.

I miss the chat battles!!! Or the late night...anybody here??? It was fun and with better internet speeds now it would be fun!!! I hated waiting for my post to show on the chat screen!!!

I see this as being very helpful with the disease threads.

I understand that it could be a real challenge for mods to control the chatroom.

I would use it too, i could get questions answered by experts live.

I can see where you would be very reluctant to start the chat back up Ryan and Al. Emotions run pretty high on some of the threads, I can just imagine what some of the chat sessions could be like.
