Thread: Chat room??

  1. #1

    Chat room??

    Has the idea ever been thrashed around?
    Apart from the normal banter that go's with chat rooms i thought it may help with getting answer straight away instead of waiting for a few days for an answer...so good idea yes, no, maybe.

    Ausfish had a chat room at one stage but never got used by more than acouple of people

    Yep, they had one but, as Krazy fella said, it was hard to get more then one person there at the same time.
    Personally I hate chat rooms but that's me.
    I'd rather ring someone to have a yarn or use skype.
    I intend on living for-ever....so far so good

    They have them on another fishing site I'm on and I've never seen them in use.

    Yes......... but only if unmoderated like so many thousands already out there and I notice Ausfish's home is in the US, the land of basic free speech. So the choice to mod will be mostly an ideological one.

    back when Ausfish had it's chat, most where still on dialup all clunky and hard to hold a conversation, today chat conversations are almost universally as fast as one can type and read.

    Can't see it working either as most members here would, like me just drop by, check new posts and reports then PO and get on with life.
    Set up a facebook group maybe?

    the old chat room got used by plenty of people, i remamber up to 20-25 people in there at one time on a regular basis


    they use to have quiz nights and was a good way to ask a question and get a responce straigh away

    not sure if it would work agian but having it there couldnt hurt
    if you didnt like it dont go in


    scotty

    I think the old chatroom died or was not renewed to the next version because arguments crossed over onto the forum proper but I stand to be corrected if need be.

    Mods or a least a certain one was drunk with power and started it all (from memory) dunno who it was now, members where fighting with the mods and each other, lots of banning happened and even an offshoot forum was spawned although I don't know very much about that...heaps of spice watching from the sidelines, was civil war there for a while LOL!

    Gee that was a fair while ago.
