How about a chat room? So that people can talk in real time? Chatzy is free, if you want to try that

Hi Julia,
Interesting idea! I will look into the programming for that for the forum software. I would rather keep it integrated than an external source. We do have PMs' (personal messages) but a chat room might be neat.

Any one else have any thoughts on the idea?

Thanks! :)
Warm Regards,

Chats are quicker than PMs, that's really the main benefit of using a chat system, I think.
I think the big problem would be if it was programmed on the site (like a window that could stay open on every page that you visit) because I think a chat that was hosted on a different site, window, or tab would be too much of a hassle. Think FB messages/chat and I think that would be a good direction to go in.
Overall I'm just happy with the PMs so having/not having a chat (in my opinion) wouldn't hurt me.

Would be kinda neat and more personal. Just to drop in and say Hi at the very least.

The forum is already open on my browser 24/7 at work and at home so a chatroom would be awesome!

Fountain pen network forum has a cool new shoutbox and its forum structure is similar to this: http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/shoutbox/

Hi All,

Chat room like Kat93 suggested or Topic based chats are great.
Of course,  with the time differences between US/Europe and India, it would mean staying up all night to talk to you guys.  :)

Have to find an explanation to give my wife, why I am up at 3 am with my laptop ;D

Oooh, I'm another who would just sit in a chatroom nonstop and put my 2c in on every single discussion ... maybe it's safer not!

(I'd have to avoid it at work, and timezones would get in my way - all you Northern Hemisphere people! - but I'd still love it!)
