guys, do you have IRC address ? we should be able to have actual chat on here, not just delayed forum responses.

[Mind]

We used to have different types of chats available right here in the forum. We could make it a feature again if there is enough interest.

does anyone know of IRC ? its a good place to chat if anyone cares. or i guess make a chat room right here on the forum which will be pretty accessible and cool.

I think chat capability would be great for the site.

[spermidine]

well lets make a chat box on the forum ? Mind ?

[Mind]

We will bring it up in the next management meeting and talk to the engineer team to see how easy it will be to implement - see what options there are. We will probably want to poll forum participants to better gauge the interest.

Personally, I would want it to be a simple as possible. Just text.

yeh thats what i mean. a simple chatbox you can open on the forum and chat someone who is online real time. because i come from IRC where we always communicate real time, its really a discomfort for me when i get replies up to days later from people i want to communicate with at the same time.
Mind, when is the next management meeting anyway ?

agreed.

also something without footprints would be nice, so it is not a standard saved feature for either side (i realize either party could just copy the text/screen dump). It may promote the use of the tool.

There will be a management meeting in March. Not sure on the date yet. I will certainly make everyone aware of this thread before hand.

I'd like to see our own channel on a site like stickam. Maybe there is a similar service we could use?

[Mind]

Management did not seem too thrilled about installing a chat client. What about google hangout? Maybe LongeCity could have a Google+ account and use the hangout for instant chat, or a persistent Skype chat?

what ? i dont get it. why is that nobody approved of a chat box on the forum ? its really simple fast and convinient. i guess it requires some type of work and nobody is willing !

Just as long as we can chat on cam.
