Chat Room!

HydeBurns · 06-29-2004, 09:32 AM

I love the forum.....I hang around the igloo more than any other website. But what would make the site even more awesome than it is.........An Iglooo Chat room! That is if it's all within Emmett's power.

But a chat room would be way too awesome.

Vienna · 06-29-2004, 10:14 AM

hey good idea!!!!

Enoch · 06-29-2004, 10:19 AM

This was suggested before I think ...

Patricia · 06-29-2004, 10:20 AM

It has been discussed before... I think the conclusion was that with a chatroom, eskimos would post less? Can't remember now. Yeah, what abt a chatroom?

HydeBurns · 06-29-2004, 10:21 AM

Itwould help usall get into more touch with our...uh.....eskimo-ness.

Michelle Joey · 06-29-2004, 10:23 AM

But on the other hand,we can kind of chat already with PMs and posts.......

Enoch · 06-29-2004, 10:26 AM

I must admit, I do get bored reading chat between two people on some threads. There is always MSN or alternative messenger services forthat ....

As Trisha mentioned it may have been thought that a chatroom would detract from debate in the threads ..

There are always other chatrooms also ..

HydeBurns · 06-29-2004, 10:31 AM

I figured it had been suggested before because it's such an obvious way to go. And it probably would slow the forum down a bit. But not kill it. I love posting in the forum and I wouldn't stop.

But all the eskimos are such a close knit group. A chat room would just be perfect.

Yeah we can chat with PMs and posts....but a chat room would just be awesome. I wonder if Emmett would want to do a trial chat room...just to see how it effects the site.

Wheels · 06-29-2004, 11:22 AM

I remember Emmett set one up to see if it got used... and noone ever posted there... although there are probably a few more people online at any one time now...

HydeBurns · 06-29-2004, 11:25 AM

I'm on alot. And there is almost always at least a handfull of people on. I'm 100% sure that if there were a chat room now, it'd definately get used.

Miss Pink · 06-29-2004, 06:57 PM

no no chat rooms!!! my security thingy thinks they are "unsafe" and goes on in computer talk.......

Tink · 06-29-2004, 06:59 PM

mine does to i think

Patricia · 06-30-2004, 08:09 PM

I would want a chatroom NOW. I'm bored and a bit down...

Tink · 06-30-2004, 08:10 PM

Awwww Trish what is up my dear

[img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img]

Patricia · 06-30-2004, 08:11 PM

*whispers* I can't say here, there may be WATCHERS!!!!!

Tink · 06-30-2004, 08:11 PM

Ok you can always pm me if you ever need a chat

Patricia · 06-30-2004, 08:14 PM

Awww thanks dear, but it's too long to explain. I just want a chatroom now![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

Tink · 06-30-2004, 08:15 PM

Okie dokes someone get Trish a chat room NOW!!!!!!!

Patricia · 06-30-2004, 08:21 PM

Thanks dear!

indigoangel · 06-30-2004, 08:32 PM

perhaps we could make one on yahoo or something, its pretty easy. i dont really have the time to, but its do-able.

HydeBurns · 06-30-2004, 09:52 PM

We could do that....but then it would probably just turn out like DamienRice.com.What's so great about the igloo is that warm vibe everyone here gives off. A chatroom outside the igloo would in time become evil and ignorant. Maybe even right off the bat.

But if it's the best we can do, maybe we should try it out.

i agree with you hydeburns, chatrooms have a tendency to get nasty if there is no one around to act as an operator and i dont think anyone here wants to spend theirtime guardingchat! and yes, the warm vibe is the best thing about this igloo, makes it nice and cosy [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

I don't come to the igloo because I'm a Damien Rice fan. (Which BTW, I'm a huge fanatic!!!!) ButI come because of the people. No one here is ever mean. Everyone here is Nice as can be. They're all on a level all their own, but yet we're all on the same level. I actually find the Igloo very therapeutic.
But a chat room within the website would be able to be programmed to have all the same guidlines and have the samerules as the forum.Without really needing administraters.The rules seem to be a big part of what keeps the igloo such a happy place.
But if needed, a handful of trusted, well known eskimos that have been here a while to be moderaters. (With strategic picking of the eskimos by Emmettof course to try to have eskimos from different time zones so good cahnce is they'll always be one in the chat room.)

cille · 07-01-2004, 12:23 AM

indeed it is! we're saved! he'll come up with some chemical reaction to get us a chat room! thank you, macgyver

(i always wondered what his 1rst name was. bob?) Edited by: cillecille

HydeBurns · 07-01-2004, 12:32 AM

Bob fits. We'll just call him Bob MacMullet Macguyver.

***Gives Macguyver empty coke can, a belt buckle, and roach feces***

Now go make us a chat room with your Macguyver skilled ways!

Angela · 07-01-2004, 12:37 AM

Have you considered our MSN chat room? http://groups.msn.com/DamienRice

I know, it's different, but perhaps Emm could add a link to it at the top of this forum and you could see how it works out and then re-evaluate?

Just an idea. It is *our* group, not somebody else's(jeweller started it, I'm a co-mod)

SisterMidnight · 07-01-2004, 06:17 PM

Once again, Angela- very good suggestion! [img]smileys/smiley23.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]
