I have been thinking about asking Hammerfel about it being possible to have a chat room on the site, or a link to one hosted elsewhere for our use or something...

What do you all think? Would you use it? I realise a lot of us are spread all over the globe in different time zones, but I think a chat room might be fun?

Whats your thoughts one and all?

The problem with a chat app that's actually within the site is almost always bandwidth. It's VERY expensive in terms of transfers to make a chat run well enough that people will not be frustrated with it.

While bandwidth itself has become very cheap, not everyone has a new hosting plan, and not all plans are automatically updated to keep pace with what's currently offered.

I can't speak for Hammerfel, but that's usually the problem. The solution is usually an IRC channel or an AIM room with a constant name (joedios or joedioschat, something like that).

That's a thought that has crossed my mind before now, and I think it would be brilliant if we could make it happen!

I think it's a great idea. It would be interesting to speak to everyone live.. my problem would be leaving.. I'm already addicted to MSN
so where do I sign up for it?
