Chat Room

[Crawdaddy]

I am active in another forum that has had as many as 786 people on at once. I see about 4 or 5 people listed as being in the chat room at any given time.

If you are concerned about kids getting in, that would mean someone would have to monitor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for limited use.

I have to edit my posts about 4 times just to get them to make sense, I cannot fathom being in a chat room. However, I just celebrated the 41st anniversary of my 10th birthday so maybe I am just a crusty curmudgeon.

I'm with you Craw, my typing and electronics skills are stuck somewhere in the '60's or '70's. With chat rooms come trouble, besides you can say or talk about plenty on our regular forums. Heck, awhile back we had two guys wanting to duke it out over ft. lbs. of recoil in several older and slower rifle rounds. And you can always email a guy(or gal) if you want to discuss something or get some particular info from that person. And when we sign in here, everyone can see who's online and who isn't.

I hit the double-nickel later this year, so I think I have a year or two on you. I work on computers and network equipment for a living and thank my mom every day for making me take a Typing 1 class my senior year in high school. I was the only senior, two juniors, the rest were sophomores - and yes, I was on an old manual typewriter to learn.

But getting back to the topic of a Chat Room, I agree that it would need to be monitored 24/7, something that BF and the other moderators don't have the time or $$ to support.

To me our current system works pretty well. I too have seen quite a few birthdays and my slow hands couldn't keep up with today's online speed talkers.

Just an observation from a newbie, I haven't seen enough activity on the forums to even remotely justify a chatroom. Witht he forums now available, I can't imagine what you would post in a chatroom that couldn't posted on one of the forums already in existence. Just my observation.

I noticed that too. Maybe we just have to wait until there are more active users.
