Has anybody suggested a real-time chat room for this board?  I don't know, but I haven't seen any on any other wargames type message boards, and it would be nice to talk to some of these guys real time occasionally.... :p

just my 2cents,

Despite the fact that the audience here is rather dispersed across many time zones, I think this would be v. neat.

It would be cool, but these boards currently dont support this feature. The closest that we have is displaying your MSN/Yahoo/whatever chat alias in your profile. I have no problem with these boards being used to arrange when people will be on-line for a chat.

I can code it, I just feel that people won't be in it enough to justify it :)

Perhaps it would be eaiser to arrange a once a month mass MSN chat? Everyone invited :D

Cheers

Hi!

A live chat would be nice as a scheduled thing.

I just wonder what we'd talk about that we dont cover already....

Cool!
I will try to make it an SOP that I have that opened when I hang around here.  If others do the same it would be a useful way of meeting everyone.

A pre-scheduled meet might be OK, but not very useful to us in very different time zones ???

Personally I dont see that I'll be using it much in general - online forums already eat too much of my time!

HOWEVER, I can see one very neat thing that could come of this. Arrange scheduled chats with a "Guest speaker" (aka someone to interrogate).

I wouldnt advise advertising them a great deal (possibly just notify the regs by email?) as they wouldnt work if too many people got online & filled the room with "noise", but a decent sized group asking a guest about particular areas could be very interesting - especially if theres a way to save the conversation to then turn into an article.

Even just scheduled chats with set topics (get all the Ork warlords to exchange tactics etc.) could make it into a really useful feature. Just a thought....

Maybe have a set day each week to meet in the chat room?  And have a topic here in Epicomms stating what the subject matter is for that day.  Hmm, but who would decide that?

Hi!

Tough one, but I'd say if CS runs the boards he gets to decide that too.  :)

You would want to advertise it for a week, or have a schedule so people know whats coming up, can look into it, etc

Sounds very organised though... :p
