| An idea.
I already asked a mod from here....But i was wondering if we had quite a few people that want a chat it would change there minds to put one up. Itd be cool to have a chat on here so we can get are questions answered faster and have a place to chat with everyone on here. Just a idea, if you think its not a bad idea post up! |

I have seen alot of boards that I have visited have chat rooms. They get used for about the first month. After that they die out

I used to be a moderator at www.explorerforum.com, and was also an op in their chat room. Chat rooms work if two conditions exist IMHO. 1) The message board is big enough to support a room, and it has the support of the members. Only a very small percentage of forum members will actively participate in the chat...............and there has to be enough regular chat members to keep it going during peak chat hours. IE, from 6pm EST 'til 12am PST, there needs to be enough people in the chat for members that join the chat to be interested enough to stay. :confused: You can have 20-30 people join the chat throughout the evening, but if nothing is going on, they will leave within 20 seconds. 2) The chat NEEDS strong operators! One or two crappy members that constantly disrupt the room can kill the whole thing in the matter of a month or two. When I got involved with the EF chat, there was probably about 2-6 members in the chat during peak time, and it was boring. With a little work, we had 3-5 ops, and 12-20 members (and this was on a forum of 30K+ members) actively in the room on 4+ evenings of the week. Then, supposedly, the software got rebooted or whatever and when the smoke cleared, there was only one op (that was rarely there during peak hours) that was able to log on. This, combined with a couple of bad seeds, made that room worthless in a matter of weeks. The bad guys just drove all the good guys away. To this day, that room is like a ghost town. For the mods here, a chat room without ops is kinda like a bb without mods............only multiplied by 100. Chat rooms operate on a much faster scale than forums, and ugliness spreads VERY quickly. I was an op in a room that went from dead, to very entertaining, and right back to dead. Shoot me any questions you have on the "mentality" of how they operate. |

Just use an aim chat room I bumped up the old chat room post in this forum, check it out. Copy this line of text aim:GoChat?RoomName=rccrawler and then paste it into your browser bar Last edited by AdamF; 02-10-2006 at 09:28 PM. |

If I want to talk to someone, I will call them. I think it would be abused like the reputation thing was a couple months back. Kinda have a hard enough time with idiots that shoot off their mouths and nooBs getting their feeling hurt. Just my opinion |

Why have a chat room on RCC when we already have Chit-Chat? Is it not the same thing? | |
