tabsie (the admin) is looking into it. No guarantees, though. An ongoing chat room demands a lot more work than you think. We used to have an unofficial one on IRC but it fizzled out - not enough people participating.

Yeah but we need one that hooks right on to this site, that's easy to use and all that. And like I said in the other post, we have a ton of more members now. Hell, even I wasn't around when you had the old chat.

NuttyGal · 06-16-2005, 01:47 PM

Well although it would be nice, i think this is ok too

Don't worry, I haven't talked about computer games in a long time here in the forums. Sex I have talked about a lot, as well as clothes...

Hi there. I heard some people here eat babies for breakfast and such. They mostly come at night. Mostly. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Just some basic rules: Don't let THEM get wet. Don't expose THEM to sunlight. And..... err..... don't feed THEM past midnight. You might make it out alive and kicking. But remember: At adventuregamers.com no one can hear you scream.

Hi there!
Sorry for the belated welcome, but I've been away for a couple of days!

Anyway - its good to see another fellow Brit joining the forums

There aren't that many of us here so when another one joins its always a cause for celebration!!!!

If it were an official AG chat room it would have to be moderated 24/7, and not all us mods are available all day and all night. We would also have to be more strict than in these forums.

Not really. There's only ever really a core group of people. Some newbies show up, others leave, but I wouldn't say the forum is significantly bigger than it used to be.

I agree with Trep that an official chat room would be a lot of work and something that AG needs to really consider before agreeing to do it. Setting up an IRC room, on the other hand, is easy, and anyone can do it. We could sticky the channel info at the top of Chit Chat (that's how it was handled before) so everyone would know how to reach it.

Anyway, Doug's out of town, so don't expect to hear anything about this any time soon.

SakSquash · 06-16-2005, 06:12 PM

Man, why do we always have to half-ass everything? Can't the mods take shifts for covering the forum? And why would it have to be covered 24/7? Don't you trust us?

Intrepid Homoludens · 06-16-2005, 06:18 PM

Well frankly, no. Because no mod may be around at certain times, a 24 hour chat room could get out of hand and, it being officially an Adventure Gamers chat room......well, you do see how that could potentially get us in trouble as a site.

Yeah well....I didn't want to talk to you kick ass bastards anyway!

Get more mods.

I can't see the worry about it getting out of hand though. Sure, sometimes things do, but what you can't see can't hurt you. First mod on can sort it out.

If it's that easy, why not just set up an unofficial IRC room and post the link here?

C'mon, guys. It's really easy to volunteer other people's time when it doesn't mean any work for you.

When people are saying "yeah, the mods can do it!" and the mods are saying it sounds like too much work - isn't there something wrong with that picture?

Anything with the AG name on it reflects upon AG. The fact that it would need constant moderation is a no-brainer. Then again, an unofficial room (on IRC or elsewhere) would not have the same requirements. I'm having a hard time understanding why people don't see that as a viable alternative.

We said we'll discuss it, and we are. But trying to convince us that it really isn't going to be as hard as we think it is -- when WE'RE the ones who have to do the work involved -- really isn't the right way to go about it.
