i believe this would be a good idea, considering sometimes we have 10-15 ppl on the board at once, and they are just chatting through the board almost. I just registered the channel #PocketQuake on Dalnet if you want to Dan, you can take over the room. I'll give you founder access. I just figure this would be an easy way to get everyone connected. Then you could add a html irc client to your page.

I agree about the chat room. Chris and myslef have been looking into a solution for both people on their home pc's and wireless pocketpc users. This would hopefully replace the chat rooms on other pages such as pocketpcthoughts.com, pocketgamer.com, etc.... That way it would be a used throught the PocketPC community and people would be logged on fairly constant. We have found a few scripts that will work, but we are looking for something that can fit into such a small screen. I think if you give it a month or so it should be ready.

We are looking for something that is integrated right into the web page so there is no extra downloads. So about any chat room that is server-side will work.

I don't think a chatroom would work. It would divide the popularity of the forum into the chat room, making both half as effective. Good idea, but it would just detract from the entire website as a whole. Too much is plain and simply, too much.

Ah, Moose, you're just worried about not getting a number added to your name every time you want to say something (by posting), thus cutting your numbers possibly in half and lessening your star increases :)  I think it would be a great idea, if you can get it to work, and many people participate.

No, I just know that I never join chat rooms. Why would I waste my time like that. I can reply whenever I have the time. I don't need to worry about sitting in a chat room talking to people for no real reason.

Chat rooms are a faster way to communicate. If I want to ask Moose a question, I'd have to start a thread, or post and wait for a response. With the chat room, if he's on, I can ask and get an answer immediately. I don't think it would draw attention away from the forum, because the forum is a way to communicate with everyone and you can always refer to a post in the forum if you forget something.

Sorry Moosey I'll have to disagree with you, Warren is right. people will use the boards to talk to everyone about maybe important stuff, while some of the idle chatter will go on in the chat room. Anyways, I need a good chat room to talk in at school once i get my wireless;)
