Should we do scheduled chats?

Post by benheck » Fri Jun 18, 2004 10:30 am

Hey folks, Ben Heck(endorn) here. I was looking at this site's statistics and it seems a lot of people look at the chat page, but there never seens to by anybody there. (or is it just me?) Therefore it seems there is an interest in this feature.

Maybe if we had a weekly chat time set up it would allow people to use it better. Maybe like Sunday nights, at a time that works for several time zones? That way I could show up too!

Let's discuss it and think of ideas.! Thanks!

Yeah, it's a great idea!
The only problem would be for people like nin^_^nin, because of the timezone difference.

Well I'm just throwing this out but if we have a time of 9pm est the it would be 5 pacific which really isnt that bad everyone would be off work (for thoses that do) and it covers all times zones in a comfortable period.

Again just throwing it out.

The talks though would be great we could have a much better [structured] and faster moving discussions then what we have on the fourms.

I think the votes speak for themselves. (6-0 after I voted) Sparkfist is right, 9:00 PM EST would allow everyone to come in. Maybe even NiN^_^NiN could (I was talking to him on another board, and he said he tried the chat but everyone would be asleep) 9:00 EST would be 11:00AM for him BTW.

9 EST sounds decent to me

Post by benheck » Sun Jun 20, 2004 9:01 pm

Hi folks. That'd be 8 PM round here, which would be fine on a Sunday night. Believe it or not, I have been working on a lot of portable projects and have lots to share!

That's my 2 cents!

But not until next Sunday, I wanna know and I'll be gone this week.

So are we going to just talk about anything that someone brings up or are we going to have planned discussions, on specific topics?
