Hello, the few times I've checked the DP chat at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/chat.php there was nobody online, last one connected over an hour ago. With 800,000 members the chat could more active If DP organized chat events, like for instance an event about adsense or another sub-forum of DP, it could make members finally meet by chat on dp.
It's after all one of the features of the forum , I don't suppose anyone's going to take the effort to actually promote this stuff.
I really like this idea. At the moment, I sometimes ask my customers to come into DP chat so we can use it as a kind of IM system to arrange deals, since it's so quiet. We should really look to organize some official DP events to persuade some DP members to login and use the chat, instead of spamming rubbish, low quality replies into the forum.
