Realtime Chat

Radridz3

· Hello Everyone,

·I've only been on parallax forum's for about a month know. And I'm just kinda throwin my 2 cents out there. Wouldn't it be great if the admin's saw how many people would love to chat realtime instead of PM'in everyone. PM's great and all but just doesn't make communicating with others here very effective. I put a poll on this thread to see how many people would be interested in a Chatbox,Shoutbox.....Good day to everyone...>>>

I would not use any realtime Chat. I don't think it would be a good use of my time which is limited.

You can't delete threads which have replies. You'll have to delete your individual replies first.

If you want to test posting, try it in the Test forum. That's the place where you can post away and try things out.

I wouldn't use a chat either. It limits accountability, and the history is non-existent.

Radridz3,
I went ahead and delete your duplicate posts and put a title on this post for you.

There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Make sure you don't cross it...

No interest in Chat. Like Mike, having limited time makes it important to be able to answer when its convenient to me.

Cheers,

Chat can be fun, but it's considerably less effective than a forum for the kinds of things people do around here.·A good answer on a forum reaches a lot of people, even years later.

You could technically have a Semi-Live chat on Parallax's facebook page....

I was going to say that the only kind of chat that I think would work would be one where Parallax was participating. But then, as is evidenced by the post above, representatives of Parallax are continuously involved with this forum so there would be little to be gained. Occasionally a post gets ignored, not unlike mine a while back asking about a Propeller 3pi clone, but things get ignored in a live chat too so no real advantage there. Many years ago I participated in irc chats about RC helicopters and that was fun but for a source of information or assistance with a problem - providing due diligence on your part - the forum is the way to go.

IRC (which is wht you are reffering to, right) is rather useless since most just stay on but no one ever replies. Forum posts are google-able so people can find answers to their issues.

To me, "chat" is what you do over a fence! [noparse]:D[/noparse]

However, would it be possible to set up a chat area on one's own, and invite Paralaxers to partake? It looks like there is a pretty strong response of, "No, thank you," but maybe the young'uns would enjoy it.
