why chat talks are in general

first, general is more popular, and, afterall, it is GENERAL discussion, i believe that includes the flow of information about our civics, as well as information itself.

as far as website stuff, i dont really think that chat falls under that category. other than to let the ppl who are important know that a change must be made.

anyways, here is the original message, hopefully more ppl will get to see it before its moved again =/ ill hope it stays here for awhile so ppl can really see whats going on and maybe even stop in the room.






there isnt really any mention of it on this site! we got that bar at the top where we can get to teh forum, tire calc, members rides, why not add a link for the chatroom? you could add a java dealy so you could join without having to d/l IRC, i think that would help greatly to increase chat room use.

I think that chatrooms should be used, it is a great way to supplement information read here, you can get question/answer based communication much faster and more clear, but its all dependant on the popularity of teh room. If noone goes in chat, then chat cant help anyone out!

I think that if we decide as a FORUM of members to get in the chat, I think that we could greatly improve the transfer of information and ideas. a forum of this size has the potential to have 15-30 regulars in chat, which is more than enough of a base to keep a room going.

one problem with chat is that noone is patient enough to stay. Ill often see ppl come in and out, and not even give me enuff time to say something before leaving.

hell, there USED to be a 2k1 chat going on! it kinda migrated from IRC to AIM, then fizzled and died. lets bring it back!

grey, i get an email every time you move one of my threads. but frankly, this has nothing to do with this website. i believe it does in fact belong in general. which is why i reposted it.

and you are a moderator. you can do whatever teh hell you want. move, delete, whatever. But i reposted it here because i want it to get publicity, the reason why noone is in chat, is cause noone knows about it, and those who do know about it know there are never anyone in there. I think we should change this. it CAN be changed! but there needs to be publicity. and its not gonna get that off in tech stuff, or website stuff, or detailing, or any of teh other less populated forums.

so do what you want, hell, you could even ban me for disrespect! but ive told you twice now why i reposted it, and why i want it here.

Whoa dude. You on a war path or something? I'm here to serve, not to rule. That's why I asked. You told me twice? Um... Okay. This is the first time you replied. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

see, this is the problem. if we could get a mass group in there, then we could get something going, but as long as its only a trickle, then by teh time one more person comes in, the one that was in will leave.

as far as what i was saying, grey, i made my statement in teh very first post in teh thread, then you asked me if you should lock or delete this thread. so i repeated taht statement. no disrespect intended, but if it seems im on teh warpath, i probebly felt indirectly threatened when you told me youd lock or delete the thread [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

here, this rounds on me [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

I said:

I meant:
Hey WhiteRabbit, I moved your last thread about the missing chat room link to the Website Stuff forum. I tried to PM you, but you don't have your PM's turned on. I notice that you made this thread and the topic is basically the same. If you want this topic to stay in the General Ramblings forum, then can I delete the last thread you made? Do you want me to delete this one?

That's what I wanted to say, but I kinda compressed what I wanted to say to save time. Sorry about that. You shouldn't assume that I'm trying to be meen though. I'm never meen. I do have a problem with spelling though. I can't remember if meen is spelled meem or mean? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
