Feedback Request How many of you use the real-time chat?

[Frank RW]

Never used it. Can't think of a need that can't be fulfilled by just posting in a thread. I guess I'm just not in that much of a hurry.

I wonder if it might be fun having a weekly 'scheduled' chat.

Interesting idea. At least getting the word out there is such a feature may be a good idea, for those that may avail themselves of said.

There is a chat feature?

Indeed.

Shall I cue up Blondie and "Call Me"...MMM...Debbie Harry...
Andy

LOL!

 

[Geardo]

Didn't know it existed... Probably wouldn't use it if I did.

Usually I text or call people if I want instant communication.

@Joe Link no more youtube videos?

Uhhhh, embedding YT vids has nothing to do with the chat feature, bro.

True my apologies but had seen joe was doing some YouTube video give aways I'll pm him

Personally I miss the old dial up BBM's...
Last time I went into the chat it was being "owned" by a couple of snobs. Maybe if a user could start their own chat room and could control access then it would be a more positive experience.

I never knew it was an option....

Dial-up BBSes were super neat-o (info, chat, downloads, door games, and much more!). In addition to using a bunch, me and a friend ran one in the early-to-mid-90s. IIRC, my father-in-law ran one back in that era too. Good times ... at least according to my hazy recollection.

Yes, BBS is what I meant. BBM is my BlackBerry Messenger. I'm transposing a lot lately. Maybe I need another layer of aluminum foil in my hat.
But yes, the dial up's did rock! Then there was the keeping up with the new baud rates on the modems as the rolled out. 1200, 2400, 14400, 28.8, 33.6.... bonus points if I had enough spare scratch to score a US Robotics.

Oh yah, US Robotics Sportster. Rolling down the (digital) street with the 14400 ... and later that rocking 56K.

I didn't even know there was a chat until I was hearing the message noises from my gents computer.

Oh yeah! A 56k modem, AOL, I was a somebody. Good times. I still love my fax though.

 

[Lilhigbee]

I lurked there a couple of times, I rarely had anything to offer. Last few times I checked in it was like solitary confinement.

 

[Cigarlvr313]

Where is it? I just looked for it and can't find it
