Primarily because when you get busy peak times your constantly rebooted and the windows shut down. And secondly it would be a chat room for this forum.. which mean we would invite all the members.. if a newbie signs up and he's a spammer or just a complete jerk.. once he's in MSN theres no way of enforcing him or removing him from the conversation.. MSN works well as a FREE service.. and it wouldnt even cut into Hammerfels bandwith or anything like that... so that would definately solve those problems.. how you go about enforcing the chat if some newbie decided to ruin it would be another thing entirely. __________________ "I can glide silently and land without a sound, I am the eerie presence in the pitch black room"

Now I know that my work hours may be different than some of you guys. However I tried at different times on different days. Yet no one replies to my IM....I think it's a little rude. Makes me wonder if the chat room would be the same way. Just my two cents on this.

The only problem is I use yahoo IM at work (they said they will be getting an "enterprise wide" solution later). If my yahoo is up at home, people might think i'm available at work and starting IMing me thinking I'm in my office and available to help with their problems. I could select a completely new account, but I noticed system performance issues at home when signed into various IM accounts. The IM is constantly pinging looking for updates at startup and while running and it slowed other process performance. (Even with Road runner and a fairly decent 2 yr old PC.) I really need to stop checking for PM's during work. This needs to be an after work activity only....
