I think the Cafe should become a live chat area and the subjects of the Discussion forum be opened a little wider for the overflow...

I think part of the proble with live chat is the available bandwidth, but I may be wrong.

It is and I know it, but I just like to keep a bug in everyone's ear once in a while...

Not bandwidth - processor power.

You really need a server dedicated to chat. For us to do that we'd need another machine .... Now who's willing
1. To fund the $1000 per month it would cost?  ;D
2. To administer it?  ;D

There are services out there that offer chat for groups ... I've never looked at them. There are other priorities (like cutting my fingernails...  ;D )

The chat question has come up before. The answer is always the same - don't ask me - go & find a solution because it's not something that interests me. I never use any form of internet chat - it's just not my kind of thing...  ;)

So if someone comes up with a solution for you, you'll consider implementing it?

$1000 per month.

I can't get past that part...........

That's like enough to pay for a PPL in 4 months and an ATPL in a year or so.

lol try three years for ATPL, absolute minimum i could find for costs for ATPL was about $34,000

[Smoke2much]

Oops!  I was confused LOL.

Still a better way of spending $34,000 than 34 months of live chat...

If you want chat, install MSN messenger and start chatting with other members. I chat with SimV members all the time on MSN.

Why would you want a chat room in the forums? You can almost chat live anyway

Besides, with a chatroom you miss out on discussions if you're absent. Here you can still enjoy a discussion 2 years later

Lol, you have a great point!

This is basicly chat, the only diff is that the messages don't atomaticly pop up, you have to click refresh!
