PAL Chat Room

[PTC]

This could be worth a try. Maybe not enough people yet, but I like the idea of a live chat room for PAL. It would probably have to be detachable so I could just put it in the corner of my monitor and do other stuff.

The only thing bad is that people wouldn't be able to read the discussions later, would they?

I've tried this before on forums and I find it really can hurt the forum content wise. A decent medium is a shout/chatbox.

Agreed. It can be difficult to moderate chat rooms and none of the content there is going to transfer to the boards and get picked up for SEO purposes.

It could also detract from useful conversations that might otherwise take place in threads with input from people in significantly different time zones.

Would be awfully handy to have insta-answers at times though.

Yeah I don't think I would use it much.. I also think it might take away form soem good threads with good info..

i don't think it would be too good either. much better having good discussions in the forum, also would be too hard to monitor spammers etc

I usually show up to the chat box.

I think keep things forum based. Knowledge transfer is why most people are here and you definitely lose that with chat function.
