Shout box ( chat box )
Dtopford:
I have done them before both type and voice chat. and honestly they are pretty cool. I don't think it will detract from the main sight, but it would give people a chance to get to know each other even a bit better because it is an instant response. Just my 2cents on the subject.
wpruitt:
Let's look at a several things:
1. Chat rooms can be fun ... but they need to be safeguarded. It would need to be open to registered members of the board. If it is open to all, it could get quite nasty unless constantly monitored.
2. Much of what is learned (at least by me) from this site comes from reading posts. Look at it this way, if you miss a class you can always learn from the book. .. but you can't recapture the lecture.
3. It would offer greater camraderie (sp) and a chance to meet people.
Just my 3 cents!

I think it was a great idea. But (there's always a but), after doing some research, I think I'm going to stick with the forum as the mode of communication. There's a place in your profile to add your IM client names so that if you want to chat you can.
My main reason for making this decision is that I like that the information that is presented to the users can be viewed anytime and the person doesn't have to be "in person" to get the info. There's also moderating and security issues that I have to worry about as well.

I agree. We are all in so many different time zones, it's difficult to get everyone online at the same time. I, for one, would miss a lot of info, if I had to be there "live" when it was posted. At least the forum can be read at any time and is archived if you want to refresh your memory about something.
