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

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. /
