how about a live chat room - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Copperhead · 07-29-2006, 05:24 AM

Have you considered putting a live chat room on this site? I think it would be
a popular addition to the site.

Definitely something we could look into depending on the results of the raffle.

Yeah, I'd have to agree...this could be cool (live chat).

However, there's also some new stuff to worry about with live chat.

Either way, I'm in...this is a great site.

its easy enough to put an actual IRC server up...crap now you got me thinkin...

texrider · 10-01-2006, 01:21 AM

Sure, web cams and all that sort of thing...

**spdude** · 10-01-2006, 08:23 AM

It might get rid of the soap opera threads, anyway.

Never happen, they'd keep poppin up anyway...

but the Live chat idea is a good one.

I'm not sure it's a good idea myself...

Apertureguy · 10-06-2006, 11:18 AM

Awww...go ahead & do it...if it turns out to be a problem...take it back down.

But realize...with Chat also comes a certain mentality or type of person...there will be people on camera..."sharing things"...that might not be what I would call "family type" fun.

I suppose the first thing to check might be the liability you guys have in the event there is a creep in our midsts.

Just food for thought.

Im with you on that. It would open up a new can of worms.

The Swiss forum where I'm active has a shoutbox on their "portal" page (a page where you also see the 20 most recent posts listed). Sadly, the shoutbox isn't used for much more than "Good Morning" and "Good Night" messages. It really doesn't add much to the forum ...
