I find that chat rooms provided on websites I’ve seen are barely used. It’s a real shame. Don’t get me wrong, I’d totally lurk in a room here at YANAP to talk with you guys, but how useful it would be here? I don’t know. Not to mention the probable need for moderating for it if it blows up and becomes popular.
Worth a thought, but I’d like a little more user-friendly forums first. Easier editing, formatting and so on and so forth. I’ve tried such packages like myBB, and while light and seamless, it doesn’t offer quite as much others do.
But beggars, choosers. YANAP is still fairly small with a dedicated group of posters here, so it works.
