Would be great. But it might get a bit crowded. DigitalPoint is very busy. And somebody would have to moderate it ALL the time...

Namepros has it!... and it's the cause of downtime and/or heavy load everytime a scheduled meeting occurs
Oh crap..Not another "Should DP have Live Chat?" thread again.... Yeah and that's why namepros is a much better place than DP
Chat! erg! When I write something I want to know that it has been immortalized in the forums of DP for generations to come to behold. Not lost in some crappy java applet. tsk tsk Also I don't want to have to put up with a million and one members posting "My adsense account has been banned, i've lost my cat and I still live with my mother". In forums you can be selective about which threads you view. Notting (another glass of red please....)
LOL! This same thing has been suggestion 1437 times in DP So please search before you make suggestions
Devin I really hope you are only kidding here. Seriously Devin, I'm a member of many forums including namepros. If you are going to start insulting people based on what forums they choose to be part, I feel that's pretty immature. I truly hope you were kidding. The real issue in this threa is should DP have Chat. I'm at NP and frankly chat was never a big hit with me. I think DP is too busy to have that. It's a frill. DP is fine without it. Skinny
i take back my words. however i am still tired of people who say that "forum X is like this so DP should follow suit". i'm a member of a couple of other forums too, and it's just that....each forum is good in its own way. live chat suggestion, fine. the reason that "because NP has it", that's lame imo.
Devin I will agree that just becuse one forum does something doesn't mean all should follow suit. Remember that Namepros isn't as heavily accessed as DP. Also live chat works with Namepros because they offer live auctions. Kinda hard to do that with a forum thread. In terms of DP, it's fine the way it is quite frankly. I don't see the need. Skinny
If it was done propper, like DeviantArt style IRC chat, then it would work, a crappy java live chat would be skrewed up. Anyway, just coz namepros has it dont mean DP should. DP is awesome just as it is.
