Paul --



AOL is still pretty much "king" of the chats, I think.  It's not a "chat

room" but a one-on-one chat process.  I think Matt's is a "chat room", which

can be fun if there are multiple people logged in and chatting.  I did this

years and years ago for a scuba forum I belonged to, but the ONLY way it

worked was to have a "bartender" who will annouce when everyone should

attend, and annouce when "the bar is open", and provide a little impetus

during the early minutes when everyone is shy.



I think it would have to be the same on this chat room.  Someone will have

to step up and volunteer for that role, and follow through.  It's made more

difficult due to time differences; finding the right time is a chore, and

there will always be someone that complains.



Whether it's worth the effort or not is unknown.  It takes so much effort...

almost like a telephone conference call, because you have to be there,

"LIVE".  EMail is "store-and-forward" and works much better for people

scattered all over creation... thus the enduring popularity of email.



If one-on-one chats works for you, then maybe we should start announcing our

AOL account names.  (If it turns out that people use a variety of instant

messaging, then you can always use a multiple-account IM client, like

Trillian.

P.S.  My AOL IM name is:  rtlaird553, but I'll admit to not having it up and

running all the time.. most of the time, but not all the time.

Hi All,



Instead of a "chat room" why not use one of the voice over IP type of 

programs like Teamspeak or Ventrilo?



Then you can log in and just talk and not have to pound a keyboard...
