Hmm - Forum Chat Room?

[Cedarva]

I didn't know where to put this and I don't have access to the BGWFans.com subsection of the forum *cough* .. so sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Okay, so we have quite a few people online and some threads going back and forth like crazy. So Chris, what do you think of a chat room-type addition for the forum? Sure it cuts down the forum usage slightly, but might inspire otherwise more forward-centric conversations in real-time amongst each other.

I'm sure it was thought about before, but any way to persuade for a rethinking of the idea at all?

I used to have a javascript powered toolbar at the bottom of the forums that had a chat room, but it caused issues with creating posts on mobile devices, so I got rid of it. I'll look into adding a chat room though. Good idea.

Ahh, good ol' Javascripting. No worries at all - just figured when things get heated or when bigger things happen, instead of a round-robin-whirlwind of posts back to back to back instantly, it's sometimes easier to go real-time and post when things are slower. IE - when the HoS website is updated, when the official announcement for Rhinefeld hits and the other thing event early next year. :angel:

[EDIT]
Ninja Swift's workload is too high with me around here. All he does is move threads for me.

and the other thing event early next year.

Why you gotta say things like that?

Why? Because LoveDoc is an evil person.

Don't worry about it Doc, it gives me something to do.

I'm actually beyond evil - but oh man, that totally shouldn't have been said! I mean, you can tell I was really tired when I typed that and just wasn't thinking clearly. "other thing event"? Wow - that's some pretty horrible English right there.

Oh well, let's just pretend it never happened, shall we?

yea, chat would be cool, the only problem i can think of is (im also a member of horrornightnightmares.com) they have a chat and people go back and forth in the forum instead of using the chat, but with the "swift" moderating 'round here, that shouldnt be a problem!
