Default Chat room?

Hey guys, is there gonna be a chat room in here? I thought that was a pretty cool feature on the old forum, and i'm pretty sure it'll be useful during album release time

Is there anyway to access this from the main section of the forum? I did not see it before so I wonder if anyone else will even go into it seeing as the only way I found it is from this link. I would prefer a chat like in the old forum, especially since people are being more active here. It would be a nice feature.

Oh, that link is so cool!! @_@

I'm in the chat, but everyone's just leaving me. ._.

I don't like chatrooms (from a community standpoint). People who weren't a part of a conversation at the time, miss out on what's being said.

If the mods want to put it up on the front of the forum it's up to them. I just posted a link to gabbly, haha.

As far as the community standpoint I wouldn't think of it like that. It's just talking to each other (somewhat) personally rather than in a thread. It doesn't always lead to major heated discussion that people miss out on.

I'm not a huge forum-hosted-chat fan either, since a lot of topics might never make it onto the forum if people have already chatted about it, and that's a loss for the community.

It's perfectly fine to schedule and host a chat someplace else and make announcements about it in the forums.

The thing is that the old chat room was almost always empty, so the chance of anyone missing anything important is pretty much zero. A chat room can, however, be invaluable during times like album release time, and i don't see why it has to be placed elsewhere.

Hmm, what NIMH Rat and Glathannus said is true. Although a chat room would be fun, it'd be more fair to discuss things like album releases in a topic where everyone would have a chance to say something. It'd even be hard in a topic, since there are so many members from all over the world. /
