If there was a chat that could be used on the board or the main site, who would use it?

...but only when I could use some information. The rest of the time, I would just sit and watch the other conversations unfold. That's just me...I guess I prefer to be a spectator more often than a participant. Nevertheless, I would like to see one exist.

A chat would be a nice feature, I'm 10 points pro and 2 contra:
The sun sets 9 hours earlier in good old Europe, don't know if everyone can participate at the same time.
The fun about the Wizardry board is to exchange knowledge about the game, boast about characters or parties and maybe helping others to get along. So if there was a chat, there would be the nagging feeling I had missed some important clue when I was absent it's just me, a tiny bit paranoid 9-)
It's up to you, dear admin, get to work )

Not knowing anything about a "chat", I can still guess that it would require a fair amount of time and some money for software to support it.

And I don't really see a "need" for it. Will you come on line and sit waiting for soemone to answer a question or just post a question and come back later and see if there is a reply?

I doubt there would be any way to tie in the user names from the board to verify who anyone "really" was, either.

Besides, I get little enough work done throughout the day, without having a 24 hour chat to tap into

Now I have a forum, and it comes with a chat. But it is a cross stitch forum and you would have to register with Delphi/Prospero.

Then I would have to find time and we would talk about what...?

There are times when you just KNOW the other person is on. It kind of gets weird just going post, wait 5 minutes for them to refresh their screen, post again, etc. (I'm sure you know what I mean Llevram...the character point gain theory, the various 30+ something threads that have posts 5-10 minutes apart... ) If a chat is used though...well somethings will get done quicker. Besides, it's nice to actually get a chance to *talk* to someone instead of constantly waiting for a response.

Well, since it is not a "feature" of this board software that I can just turn on (and the above equation), I doubt it is something we will see here.

As for your psychic powers, the are better than mine I only know someone is on if I place a post and see a new reply right with mine.

Besides, with chat everyone would see all of our typos, no chance to preview or edit them

Wouldn't that be:

Effort > reward + I'm Laxy == !chat

11. "Yakity-Yak"
Chat room here would be a nice bonus. But we do have the Professor's well-being to think about. Seems he's doing a lot already. And would have to retool board software/programming, etc.

So...who wants to pony up some dough so's he can hire an intelligent (and cute! )assistant webmistress?
