Topic: Should we add "Chat" to the links bar?

Up there, with Index, User List, Rules, Search, Profile, and Logout? Should we add "Chat?"

It'd just link to the DIF Live page, but there always seems to be between five and ten members online, and I always wanna talk with them and shoot the shit.

The alternative might be having a permanent chat window always open at the bottom of the board index, but I think that'd be distracting.

So the question really is, if there was a Chat link up there, would you be inclined to, you know, see if anybody was in there upon your daily forum visitation? Kick it with the forumfolk for a few minutes between getting work done?

Meh... I might float around.

I vote for putting it up and if it doesn't attract enough people then take it down.

I say go for it, I'd certainly drop in and stick around if others are there.

Added. Let's see what happens. Not just tonight, but in general.

Re: Should we add "Chat" to the links bar?

I think it should say "Live Hot Chat!" And then see what happens. Not just tonight, but in general.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

I think I could overlook the Teague face for Karen Gillans Body... a potato sack can do wonders...


You know, if I had to.

This has been extremely successful. The night ultimately devolved into me, paulou, and Zap discussing VFX anecdotes on webcam while Shadow, Fixed, and Spork watched.

I cannot say for sure that anybody was entertained but us.

This is so bad, but knew for a fact that that was a picture of Karen Gillan on sight. Really, Teague, you should be honored.

Well, tough, you got Karen Gillan's body.

Great! Now, she'll never be my wife. Dammit!

Chat was good last night, I can't usually make the live DIF sessions weekends being what they are around here.  It nice to participate, but everyone else knows that already.

Re: Should we add "Chat" to the links bar?

This is a great idea. I actually hoped for something like this to happen, because I like to stick around in the chat room from time to time.

Damn it. I hope you know you've ruined that picture for me now.

Re: Should we add "Chat" to the links bar?

So, we're gonna leave it there for now and see how it works out.

These won't be official chats or anything, it's just something where if you're particularly bored one day and killing time on the forum, click the linky and see if anybody is in the chat. And / or camp out in the chat and go fishing for people.
