Attention moderartor(s)

yes but it would be funner

I've been following this thread hoping to see how many people are really interested in something like a chat app. I hoped there would be more members voicing an opinion and then we got caught up in all the personal bashing. I hate that. My first impression was that a chat room would have no practical purpose. After the last 24 hours I am thinking maybe some of the crud we were subjected to might have been diverted to a chat room and that would have been better, but I'll bet 50 bucks we'll always have conflict between members here on the forum. It's the nature of the beast.
Sometimes what appears to be a personal slam is not. Sometimes it is all in the interpretation. Before you assume someone is insulting you perhaps you could send a private message to the other guy and find out. Keep it friendly, we are all trying to accomplish the same thing here; learning to play as well as we can.
So a chat app is ok with me as long as I have the option to not see it pop up on my screen when log on to the forum.

Oh and there's a "swear filter" on this site for a reason! knock it off!

Many things become lost in translation over the internet...this is bound to happen frequently I suppose, but it's going to be happening literally anywhere there is text on a screen...

ok ok phip i know that message was directed at me,sorry if i offended anyone.me bad.

Y'all are looking too much into it. The idea is simple; use it or don't use it. A chatbox is about 10 lines of code that any one of us can CTRL+C.

Rock on!

yeah don't you just have to copy and paste a code into the site or something?

No, not always. You can do that sometimes. It has to be a compatible language. Either way, it is just a send and recieve to and from server thing. Even if you don't know how to do it, 2 minutes of research and you should get it easily.

Rock on!

My 2cents: I have no interest in a chatroom. I appreciate the guitar and music talk here, but I have no interest in anything beyond PMing other members. I am thick skinned, so I'm not easily as offended by funny and slightly trencahant or sardonic ribbing as can go on here (AGC), but even quicker typing with even less thought is a speed of social interaction I reserve for face to face conversations.

Nearly every chatbox or chatroom I've seen ends up with so much profanity and personal bashing, alot of forums don't have it for a reason.

Even places like here end up like that.
I don't think it would a good idea, unless we get some strict moderation of it.

Anyways, it's up to Admin wheter or not to have one.

guitarslinger,thats really the only thing that needed to be said on this thread,its there,use,dont,its there if you wann

Charooms also have the private chat option then that way me and gshredder2112 or whomever can chat in real time. The admin thanked me for tde idea allready. So mabye soon we'll know whats up. And for those who dont do chat or like the idea heres an idea. Dont go there.

Oh well Phip, what comes to personal bashing... Its all my fault and I can take the all the bashing... (wicked nature, wicked nature man...) But yeah, there are always, and always will be the arguments and fire here and there but hey, sadly we are not yet ascended to the form of no chains of humanity. As friendly site than this is with so many great people, can always distinguish those fires and bury those arguments. Like it always been.

Oh... and I shouldnt wrote the essays at middle of the night, to the chatroom option, it could be the area up the bar, like other tools, no popping up if you really dont want to. But if admin happen to do it, make it to registered users only. I think it better that way :).

Oops, I apparently am pretty lousy at using the quote feature!
Umm, that's harsh. Other folks had some relevant commentary too, dontcha think?

hahaha TS is that^^^^^what you were aiming for?
and what GS is saying (i think) is that if you don't want to use the chat box.....DON'T. I don't think he was saying that the discussion should be closed

Yes thanks Phip.
