another idea

[Redbeard]

I don't know how this would work out but could there be a chat room on the site? I'm sure there are major issues resulting in there not being one now but I thought I'd mention it.

you know what....thats actually a really good idea

They're a pain in the ass to run though, and i'd highly recommend it being a members only chatroom... especially with the amount of traffic which comes through here and doesnt post.

It could just be an irc chat room with a pass(can you do that with irc??)

[hxcguitarist]

that sounds sweet, and yes you can do that with irc

One word: moderation. Who's going to sit on a chat room 24/7 and make sure it stays clean and on topic?

If you want a chat room, there are tons of ways of setting up an IRC channel, and you could just go set one up and provide a link from a thread here.

Official chat rooms are a lot harder, logistically.
