IRC channel for Ausfish.

[Flattie Assassin]

Does Ausfish have i'ts own IRC channel. I notice there is no chat option. Was just wondering. It would be cool to log on and chat it up with the posters. Who would be interested?

How many of us can type quickly enough to make IRC worthwhile?

The forums (fora?) and PMs are almost as functional, and the forums are more easily moderated than IRC.

IMHO it wouldn't work very well here as Ausfish is similar to some of the car forums I am a member of. Most of the members have lives and only log on to these forums for a short amount of time one or 2 times a day. IRC is for teens and people obcessed with SMS etc so it's alaugh to expect it is any good for a forum like A/F;D

I actually haven't used either of those for years and just entered them 'cause they were there. I only have them for contact really, if someone wants to contact via either they can.

I use "shout box" on some forums but still get messages mixed up because ppl are posting so fast..............I think it would be chaos here.

Flattie - good proposal i reckon.
there sould be nothing better than being able to have a quick chat with someone re a certain topic they are experts in or just a nag amongst mates.
some wouldn't use it but that doesn't mean all users won't use it.
pm's have their place but are slow and cumbersome in trading information. of course, you wouldn't have to participate if you didn't want to.

cheers,

This has been discussed before, Ausfish did once use to have a chat room but it was far to hard to monitor and moderate. If you do a search you should find more info. I'm happy with the way things are if you want some more info or wish to communicate with other members the pm option is always there.

lol.. no need to be sorry ;D . I didn't mean to come across so negative. No doubt members would use it and it could be an asset to the site, unfortunately the minority spoil it for the majority.

fom what I've seen on chat boards (live) it is absolute chaos and there is heaps of D***heads. Sean

[SCOTTYGC]

i used it when it was here last and it was great

pity a few people could not behave on it

as said a bit hard to moderate but i would use it if it came back

maybe you should be able to invite two or three people for a private chat.....kind of like a lappy!!!! lol
