Well, I suppose we can always test your chat by setting a time that a few people can meet at the same time. It's fine to use your server or this one.

I don't believe we have had a successful chat up to this point. Probably someone would need to take charge by PMing a few people so everyone could agree on a time.
 
We've had a couple serendipitous chats. Just a couple, in the past year. We probably wouldn't need a formal chat function at all, if we could just coordinate a time to log into DF.
 
I could make one of those shoutboxes too. The thing is...I think Dance Forums is such a wonderful resource because it saves a permanent record of all of the posts. Chat doesn't really do that, and chat is much harder to moderate. I don't mind doing it, but we will really need someone who wants to volunteer in coordinating chat times. It would also be good to have someone copy and paste a record of the chat. One way to have fun with this would be to conduct a live interview (even if it only involved a couple of people).
 
Oh dear lord no!

Chat is ok when you cannot use the phones in the office to call your friends and have a salsa-related conversation :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol: :twisted:
 
come on guys! chatting is AWESOME! lol... i'm such a fan of chatting... besides, it'd be easier if we all chatted in a room cuz then everyone could talk and not have to wait a day or so to respond and stuff like that. i think it would be really fun


besides, i'm addicted to chatting :oops: heh
 
I don't care for chatting (or for IM'ing either, while we're on the subject) In general, I think brujo's right. (funny too! :lol: )

I think it could be worked, though, with some planning, like a specific subject or two, planned and publicized in advance. What I'm envisioning is a lot like a teleconference, only online. There would be some inevitable dumb sidebars, but some cool conversation could be made, as well. 8)
