Default This might be a good idea

Anyone else think adding some sort of chatroom (live) to LS1tech would be a good idea. I check my user cp pretty frequently and respond immediately but I think a chat room would be sort of cool.

It might be ok, but why not just us AIM or something if your going to be talking back and forth to just one person? Chat rooms can kind of get...messy.

just my .02

That was part of my thinking. The other part is that I hate AIM, I'm bothered when I don't want to be when I'm talking to some one else.

Great idea! when im bored this late at night or during the day for that matter i click new posts and reply to whatever i feel i want to, just for the heck of it. A chatroom would add a little spice to the forum i think

I don't think it's a great idea. This forum provides a ton of really good information. If you start a chat room, a percentage of that information, that would otherwise be documented, now goes out the window. This forum is all about being the #1 Source for all LSX based vehicles.

Plus you also have to take into consideration that there are complete n00bs on this site. If you get 50 people in a chat, you may or may not have a moderator in there. Conversations will result to that of high school "instant messenger"..... Which I for one, do not want to be a part of, or want to moderate. It could just lead to more and more headaches that the site cannot handle.

In theory it sounds fun, but we ALL know that this site has way too many immature users who couldn't "handle it" or will "abuse" it, for lack of better terms. I vote no.

This has been discussed MANY MANY times. Admin's have already said it won't happen. No way to preserve what little technical content usually comes from those chats.
