    This seems like it could be cool. What says you?..... Robin?

    Are you referring to a chat box? That's been suggested in the past a couple of times but is not something I am particularly excited about - Chat rooms are hard to monitor and I don't want to be held responsible if illegal things take place on a Pinside hosted chat room. Hope that makes sense.

    That makes sense robin. I did not think you would be responsible for others behavior though. The reason I think it would be good, is that we often end up chatting back and forth anyway. This would eliminate the need to refresh, and the need to stay on topic. But, no big deal... I just think it would be cool.

    No way. The Chat box in the forums I know are often hijacked by nasty people. I prefer when someone leaves a trace...

    Why don't the "chatters" just PM each other or swap phone numbers or something? A chat area would be good if it reduced the number of back-and-forth pointless posts bumping real topics off the page or forcing folks to read 5 pages of banter to see what's really happening in the industry.

    While we're at it, why not eliminate karma points? Some people seem to post continuously with nothing to say....how's that worth "karma"?

    Thats the idea.

    In addition to what we already have. If you did not like it, you simply do not use it.

    No matter anyway.... Robin has spoken.

    A chat room? Oh dear god, no.

    Let's just leave that in the 90s.
