how about a new addition to the forum?

I've been thinking for a why that it would be cool to add a small chat window to the forum. the community could talk instently and would help eliminate the delay from PM's.

you can check out what I'm talking about at www.isuzone.org

...what do you guys think? would it be a good addition or do you think it would take something awya from the topics and PM's?

+1000. It would keep some clutter off forum topics as well.

But then we'll never reach a million posts on the worlds largest thread thing.

I think it's a good idea too, but, is the forum active enough to benefit from it?

do you think more people would be active if they where able to communicate easier and not have to start unnessisary threads?

...instead of a newby posting a thread "how do i change my timing belt" do you think they would just ask in the chat box to be pointed in the right direction?

but since there arent that many regulars on here (compaired to other forums i am part of) there wont be that many people to respond to it. a new person would ask and have no one to ask most of the time. its very rare (for me) to see more than 3 regestered members on here at a time.

daewoomofo is right...usually when I'm on here there is at most two others on. Usually theres no one.

i kinda like the fact that there arent just a bunch of asses on here though. on some of my other forums there are regulars that are bacicly on there starting crap every day. we dont get that here. yeah there is our own fair share of arognatness, but for the most part every one on ere gets along.

ive seen these chatboxes on other forums (eg: KentUniCarz.co.uk) and to be honest... MSN (or any other IM program, for that matter) is much better for just a chat.

forums/messageboards have a purpose, which is discussion and the documentation of any discussion which takes place so that people can use it for research/info even if it is useless chat, cos sometimes our useless chat spawn new ideas etc.

... just a thought, do what u like.
