    You could send Larry in for a proper initiation.

    Its a bit "primitive" as Pat called it lol. You gotta make sure you are rubbing the sticks and stones right to be able to connect. LOL

    That link/chat I posted above is a bit outdated and strange, sometimes it connects sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it takes forever. The computer asks if I want to block java or something and I click no and it lets me through.

    Why not start out in ernest with a pre-scheduled chat with a specific topic to be discussed?

    I can remember the chat room and whenever i visited it was mostly empty, and when there was someone there the topic was rarely discus related. Scheduled chats with a strict moderator or two(perhaps with the ability to enforce time outs) could work i think, and private chat rooms for off topic discussions for those who feel the need.

    Before i joined this site i would visit another discus forum which had a chat room and enjoyed it very much. It did wonders for my typing skills and i owe my speed to that chat room...lol.

    I remember the chat room here.

    Rarely did the chats involve discus.

    Maybe a set time for a chat room to be open, like sunday nights at 6pm or something like that, then closed.

    Hi Thras,
    Thanks for the offer there, but Its best that if we have a Simplydiscus related Chat, that it occurs here...I do appreciate the offer though.

    take care,

    I could see value add for the disease and treatment section where a prompt response is always welcome.
