Official TechIMO Chat

[Warthog]

I know it's been said many times before....but IMO (hehe) it'd really be an excellent feature to add.

*Just* a Java chat, like the one some members have going now over here: http://irc.web-techs.net/

Or you can connect through mirc in channel #Distributedcomputing.

The thread about this is here.

It's used pretty often (during the last week anyway), but only by mainstay members. It'd be great to have something like this Official on the main page. Then newbie members will join and get real-time help. Right now for the most part, it's more for entertainment - which is great fun - but it'd also be fun to help some out. I don't really have the tech. knowledge to help a lot of people....many others in the chat do.

What do others think about this?

I vote for!!

Didn't knew there was an "underground" chatbox. I have heared about the DC chat though

Another thumbs up !!
I think a chat area here would be great, IF the people who use the forums to " chat " would use it.

I like the Idea and a while back I think Scott set one up for a test run. I think they didnt keep one up @ all times because it is imposible to moderate a live chat. But I still think it is a good idea Dochopper has had his chat room on IRC up for ages now for the Distributed Computing Teams and it has worked out nicely but we have never had a really big crowd Time will tell how this will work out though Ill see you all in the Chat room.

Hey! my IRC chatroom #TechIMO on DALnet is the most underground of them all. In fact, it's so underground that not even I know of it's existance....and that makes me very confused when I type this...
