Title: should this site have a CHAT ROOM?
Post by: Gunna_girl01 on June 23, 2005, 09:41:45 PM
i think a chat room is a good idea... but for it to happen there has to be quite a few people to perswade the administration..
so people if you think it is a good idea..
please reply to this post   : ok:   : ok:

NO

people allways get anoyed with stupid comment's in the threads... having a chat room would minamise that problem...
they can argue and what not in the chat room....

that way the threads will be kept clean and profesional.  (worth looking at )

People getting annoyed with stupid comments? Sorry, are you saying if there was a chat room you'd spend your time there, instead of on the boards? I'm up for it, if that's the case ?:yes:

NO

You're wasting your time, this has been discussed before, and nobody cares for the idea.

Hmm actually, gunna_girl has a point.

If there was chat room then people can converse back and forth within seconds as a regular convorsation.  The forum threads are meant for general statements, oppinions, facts, and replies to the post, not something you can carry a convorsation along to.  People get off topic in the threads because they are trying to have a convorsation back and forth with another member, while one thing leads to another and they are off topic, an other people who just want to read replies pertaining to the origional topic have to scroll through pages of non-sense of off-topic convos that people are carrying on with eachother.  Having a chat will allow people to talk things out one on one and say what they have to say an leave it an be done, instead of having to scroll past pages that would be better suited in something like a chat.  A chat would be a place to go if you just want to have a convorsation, or further comments back with a particular member.

In a way I can see where you're coming from, because I have to admit that the prospect of losing certain members to a chat room is quite enticing...but I don't think it would work quite like that.? A chat room would serve to attract more and more annoying and frustratingly deluded people, who would all join forces to create an unstoppable army, armed with abbreviations. A chat room would encourage stupid comments and ridiculous arguments with no decent grounding to them. The Abbreviation Army, as I will call them, would gradually infiltrate the boards, due to finding the company fairly unsatisfying in their chat room. Among other things, this would result in an increased average time for reading posts, because we'd all have to sit here and decipher the somewhat novel strings of letters and numbers. Eventually, we'd all implode. Oxygen supply to our brains would be cut off, we'd sweat and cry profusely, combust, crack up...everything. Basically, we would die. You would all kill us. HTGTH has a good reputation, I'd say, and I think a chat room would lower the tone...a lot.

If you two are so keen on the idea of a chat room, then maybe you could just settle for second best, and get each other's MSN address. I'm sure you would have a very worthwhile 'convorsation', chit-chatting and stating your 'oppinions' about the 'origional' Gn'R, the new Gn'R, and everything in-between. Go on, break a leg.

Hmm I see what you are saying, and I can see how it would instigate the things you mentioned.  I thought her idea was good, and I agreed, but it's nothing that either me or her said was "do or die", it was just one idea to throw out there to help filter unnessicary posting.  No harm in that.  But if you are concerned with the reputation of the forum, then I would suggest you promote your members to the use of "personal messaging" other memebers to further their convorstaion they are traveling off-topic.  To take it else where, not in a thread that isn't marked for their personal go-backs of off-topic convorstaion.  I also would suggest that you lighten up :-*

Why can't you take it one step further, and just use PMs instead of having a chat room? Less work for Jarmo, less fuss for all of us.

I will dismiss your suggestion, and continue with the dry, blunt, and slightly sarcastic approach I have been taking so far tonight. If you dislike it, moan to Gunna_girl01 about it, because I don't think anyone else is likely to care  :P

Just for the record, I was never pro or con to the chat room idea, nor was it a do or die suggestion.? This conversation has gone on entirely way too long about something I could care less about as well as something I wont think twice about, or at all.? You know, you dont have to be sucha grouch, an you can take people's suggestions and views a little more appreciatively and respectfully, even if they are deranged or stupid.? Do you have multiple personalities  or something?- because you were nice and helpful with my other post, all the while being grumpy over here.

By the way, I dont care anymore than you do, an Im not bothered by your blunt and sarcastic approaches :-*

 :rofl:

You're right, y'know. I can't believe what an idiot I was being last night when I was posting  :hihi:

Rocket Queen, Gunna_girl01, I do apologise. I wasn't even in a grumpy mood actually - I was just sitting here grinning my face off as I adopted the persona of an imaginary mod, given that none of them were around to lock/move this thread. With regards to your multiple personalities question...well, like SLC said, this is the crankiest he's ever seen me, and yes I was trying to be helpful to you in the other thread (deliberately, I think, to confuse you  :P), so this is very out of character. I was just messing around, so although my opinions on the idea of a chat room were true, I wouldn't normally express them so forcefully. Oh, and you can stop blowing kisses, because it's the oldest trick in the book when it comes to trying to wind someone up  on these boards, and it doesn't work for me girl...  :-*

...Slight dip back into dry, blunt and sarcastic there  :P

you do know a chat room is way more prone for spam. That, i think is reason number one we shouldnt have one.

i don't see why potential spammers should stand in the way of us chatting about guns n' roses. :smoking:

Title: Re: should this site have a CHAT ROOM?

Why can't you just chat about guns n' roses here?

That's kinda the point right there...

Title: Re: should this site have a CHAT ROOM?
Post by: N.I.B on June 26, 2005, 04:34:50 PM
and thsu the best decision is not to have a chat room. its just gonna be too much to administate, adding it on to the boards

Can't just about anyone start a chat on yahoo or whatever?  If you really want one, why not do that?  Why should  Jarmo be bothered with it?


Title: Re: should this site have a CHAT ROOM?
Post by: August 18th on June 27, 2005, 08:52:59 PM
because it's his fucking forum and i can name you a few forums that have chat rooms, even gnr forums (they are mostly dead now), lostrose.com had one, 2TI had one, i could go on. who provided them? the administrators. not saying jarmo SHOULD though, that's up to him, but it's actually quite normal for admins to engage in creating chat rooms for their users.

i think it would filter allot of the arguments and shit out of the threads thats why i suggested a chat room...

threads go off topic to easily and if you have a chat room i think that the threads will be kept strait to the point withou the topic going elsewhere.
thats just my opinion

I understand that, I've checked out some of the other boards and quickly bailed out because it was like a kindergarten class with no teacher. However since it seems like Jarmo has no intention of adding this feature, it might be more productive to have an account set up at one of those sites and just hop over there when you feel like chatting with someone or a group of people. Thats all.

I think a Chatroom would be a decent enough idea, though I cant really see it minimalising any of the chat on the actual boards themselves, but it would be a great hang out.

I can easily make a chatroom for you if you wanted?
