    Pm's would cover just talking to your friends etc, if it was an open 'chat room' everyone could join in and keep the threads a little more to the point and subject matter?!

    A chatroom will almost for sure mean that information will be lost from the forum.

    Shout box's are wank.

    Registered members only chatroom might be worth a pop though. Pretty easy to implement. I would imagine?

    Yeah im right into the members only, should shorten a percentage of the noobish questions that could occur. Plus if you pay for membership then its another perk and reason why you done it?

    Couldnt we try this for a trial period and see how it goes?

    This is why people have MSN and Facebook.

    If you give people an oppourtunity to chat on the forum then it voids the point in it being a forum i think.

    Idle chit chat should be kept out.

    Yeah but Dan you dont accept requests on MSN :P accept my request lol

    And I agree with you to an extent, i think if a chat room is set up there should be a rule about asking for advice etc as it should be kept to the forums, the chat should be kept for idle chit chat to keep spam to a minimum.

    As i previously stated it should be at least giving a months trial no? I will put my neck on the line and offer to moderate the chat and if it doesnt work out will put my hands in the air and say i was wrong.

    Daily chat is idle chit chat. Don't see how a chat room is any difference.

    Cos its instant chat? not waiting for a reply to something and you can talk freely and not everyone has to see it or read it?

    I dont see the harm in a chat room.

    you cant have 5+ people talking togethher on MSN and FB they are more 1 on 1 situations.

    i personally dont see that adding a chat forum to the membership is any incentive to join.
