In my experience with Forums (I'm admin for a cell phone hacking forum) when you create a chat people will rely on the chat alone for quick answers, meaning less posting, less threads,and less members(unless it's member only chat).
IMO I think it defeats the purpose of a "Forum"...

 

but a chatroom might also help with all the repeating threads and give a place for ppl to vent.

 

Trust me there will always be "repeating threads"... Might reduce them, but it will be very minimal

I just think it defeats the purpose of a forum that's all, my 2 cents.

 

^^ nobody in the aim G35driver chatroom?

 

somebody invite me

AIM sn:SilverBoarder312

EDIT:nvm i found out how to get in...but its so quiet

 

We tried this a few years ago. It sucked big time. It ended up being a bunch of people talking about what show they were watching, the weather, work, kids, etc. About once every 15 minutes someone would say "I just bought a G" then you'd get 15 replies of "congrats, welcome to the club". Then back to the weather.

 

So why not make a chat available on the site?
So ppl could go there for quick q and quick a

And weather talk

 

Sounds interesting

.

 

guess what, I made one on AOL: aol://2719:61-2-G35Driver
