Dear Mr. Admin(s),
i have done a search on this subjet but i couldnt find anybody posting about his so here i am, but if there have been threads about this than i am sorry to bring it up one more time,
i would like to see an integrated chat room where people can exchange ideas and talk about photography and/or everyhthing else.. i am online till late at night and from what i have observed there are people online all the time on the site (at least 10 at any given time).. and a chat room would be a perfect place for people to interact with eachother..
i have absolutely no idea if it is an easy thing to integrate a chat room to a website of this scale.. but if it can be done.. would you please consider it..pretty please:)
i would personally love to chat with people on a much faster level than the current message board provides and it may create a inspiring environment for everyone who wants to learna dn all..
thanks for listening...

Yeah it is usually empty at this time of the day cos eveyone over the other side of the large pond is sleeping :) But look in later, especially during the week. |

No way. It took me long enough to quit the addiction of that chat room, I used to spend hours there :))) |

The problem with chatrooms is finding one that everyone can use, regardless of browser, OS, or firewall settings, hence the DPC Fanatics chat (which I happen to run) is html-based and works in any browser. Other solutions (of which I've looked into many) either require certain ports (eg IRC's 6660-6669 & 7000) to be open, which many work firewalls block, or only work in one browser/OS - IE on windows, for the most part.
Also, the fact that the chatroom is not officially part of the main site means that the chat doesn't have to follow the same rules, and a user's conduct can be a bit less constrained than an integrated site - plus, if you get banned from the chat (a very rare occurance), that currently has no affect upon your access to DPC...

It sounds like a good idea - especially for cutting down on the number of trivial questions that appear on the forums (e.g. some of mine) that won't mean much to anyone except the person who asked. A chat room would be good just as long as the topics of conversation aren't too interesting, if you see what I mean, because then a whole thread could be talked out in a few minutes and never get posted in the forums, so people who could have benefited from reading it miss out.
