Has this site considered a chat room? Would anyone else be interested? I think it would be another great way to meet others! :cool1:

Hi Linda,

An excellent suggestion. We'll discuss the feasibility of the idea. In the meantime, I hope others chime in with their thoughts on the topic.

Please post an intro in the New to SingleDivers.com forum. We'd love to get to know you.

I had thought about a chat room at one time, but may be difficult to have a discussion when you get a bazillion people online.

I appreciate getting to know others better through PM's and was thinking that an instant messaging feature would be good - as opposed to a chat room. Or maybe several chat rooms....

I thought that I was the only one that typed that way.

Doesn't "bling bling" mean something else?

I agree it would be a great idea, but the think I like about the threaded board (like we have) is that I can post comments without having to be sitting there all day.

That said, it would be fun... and another distraction from work ;-)

Thanks for the feedback. My thought was simply a chat room would be a great way to have immediate interaction. I chat in a singles chat room from time to time and most of the time the place really flies I can hardly keep up so I focus on just one or two conversations.

From what I have seen this site is still rather new and there are never tons of people on line at one time (at least not when I have been here). Anyway I thought it would be a great way to meet others you might never meet any other way especially if you are not into boards and forums.

I guess time will tell :cool2:

Chat rooms can be fun but I agree.. not enough people to have one running all the time. A different/non diving forum I read has a chat room but they encourage people to drop in Sunday evenings only. We could try a trial run by doing the same and see what kind of response we get.

well, so far, there are rarely more than 10 members online at any one time.

but i'm sure there are other reasons it would be a problem
OK, lets make a deal. If you stop telling me how to dive, I'll stop going down to the bus station at 2am to slap d***s out of your mouth.

Hey I think it is a great idea!! :idea:

And as the site expands we will definately have more people online; and I also think a chat room is a function most internet users are used too. Also, it might be a good way to engage some of the members who are not as active in the posts.


and send some of that bling bling this way! :dazzler:
