incessant begging: Chatroom
 

We used to have a chatroom. It went unused for a number of years before the ownership change. Then we started to use it because we realized that we could flame someone instantly after they typed something idiotic. Those were glorious days. Then it was promptly removed, vanishing before our eyes while we slept one night. I want to make a formal request to reintroduce the chatroom, finally bringing peace to middle earth.

In all seriousness though, I miss the chat and I'm sure a bunch of the other regulars do too. Those of us fortunate enough to have computer access during the day, and get paid to do very little. We need our chat back.

a/s/l?

I'll tell you in the new chatroom ;)

I already don't get enough done at work.

Does this not defeat the purpose of a Forum....

I'd say no. The forum has its purpose for asking questions.

The chat is for those of us that are long time members or hell even those that aren't that just want to shoot the shit during the day. Chat is instant communication, forum is the equivalent of email.

You'd probably see a slight decrease in the bullshit section but other than that chatrooms don't usually take away from traffic on the forum.

This.

I honestly think it will help cut the clutter we use the threads for. When I first joined a lot of the discussion was more technical, almost write-up or atleast well composed posts.

Maybe chatting out the little junk will make the threads more valuable discourse, and easier to garner information from.

Or we can all just share our gchat addys.

Another +1 to the chatroom, although limiting it to subscribing members or making retards take a test to get access seems like a necessity.

Edit: I realize that not everyone who is a regular is a subscriber. Can you limit access by post count?

Thats what I do right now. But in between moments of scott ignoring me and me ignoring him, I need the ability to frustrate and antagonize others. The ability to do that to all parties simultaneously is imperative.

Neo: Scott is bad about ignoring. I hate him sometimes.

Jeff: Invites.

I thought I already had you in my gtalk but I guess not. I think I had you on AIM maybe before, but I stopped using that at least a year ago.

Along the lines of the gchat deal. Was the chat here just a public place to throw stuff out on, or did you have to initiate chat between yourself and another member(s)? I'd like to know how this works.

private rooms bitches


Neo: I never use AIM or the like, only got into gchat because it was there, and my boyfriend had gmail.

It was a public chat. It was like a secret icon at the very bottom of the homepage that no one ever knew about. Then the chosen ones began to revive it and prosperity enveloped the land. Woodland creatures were able to roam free without fear of the dark creatures attacking them.

Meh. Maybe we can just put up our chat addy's in our sig? Although, hmm, not sure I want it that public...? Plus, I use yahoo.

Bringing back the old days.

Just a tiny bit bi? Or just really geeky?

Fuck that. I have no desire to have a 80% chance of seeing a penis.

I'm fucking bored so I'm gaying it up for you nubz.

Dooo it bring it back. I'd love to bother people on here in real time.

The whole purpose is that I don't want to have to chat through gmail in individual chats. I enjoyed the public chat because everyone was on at once and you didn't have to set up a multichat in gmail and mess with reinviting nubz when their crapz pc shut down randomly and shiz.

Yeah, this thread enlivened all the great names.

Ok, neo, your task is to make your little brother set us up with the chat. All the big playaz wants.

You don't tell me what to do!

You know what would be cool, if we could have had this whole discussion in a chatroom. That would have been really cool.

Are you kidding?

I like having to scroll down, see one line of text for every two inches of screen, go to a different page to write something, and then hope that like 14 things haven't been said since.

Like that ever happens, pshh. The world you just proposed sounds like a utopia with unicorns prancing around rainbows.

this

Seriously. +2

Compared to the forum, this is different how?

qft

I'll chat with you.

old processors have trouble coping with excess Zs

Excellent zing sir.

So...flashchat bitches?

Our requests fall on deaf ears.

Scott is just ignoring you again.

So is this thing happening or what?

Ramble on and on thread serves this same purpose, no?

Not quite real time. On several other forums I frequent the chat REALLY cuts down on forum BS. Not that I don't like me some BS, but it would help to reduce threadjacking banter.

how are google's homo spiders going to surf our chats...

You could have it dump on hustler's chest into a log file. I'm sure they'd crawl that.

Anything? =(

Nope :(

Bump for DO IT!

I feel slighted.

Discussions will be held at the G60 event in Toronto. Please bring your formal request in a sealed box, we prefer Islamic looking wrapping paper (lets all be festive).

Attire, trench coats. Everyone with a badge / gun is actually wind up cops, the secret password to pass the 'check points' is 1 of 2, either AH LALALALALALALA or JIHAD.

See you all there. Post pics.

Something doesn't sound right.

He's not going to add it....OGs have no weight on here anymore. Nubs bring traffic dollars.

Noobs need chat rooms too...

Not true at all and I am hurt. :( OGs totally have some say, but chat room love has been discussed before and result was the same. How soon some forget about how lovable I am.

Nubs don't = traffic dollars, organic unique hits = traffic dollars.

And if the focus of your post is to lay claim say that I am all about the dolla, then certainly you should know that chat rooms do not translate into Lambos and Ferraris. And if MT is not making my monthly payments for such vehicles, well then, no go.

No chat room =

aaaahha WOW

Im going to go play Battlefield Bad Company 2 now.

I just don't see a downside to it... I could be missing the secret info... or just can't read for shit..

Any use in bringing this back up?
