Professor_s Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Call me a sucker but as I was thinking about what to add to SFO (wait what?) I was just remember the last time I actually participated in one...and it was quite a long time...Sure there is the problem of time zones and once you get one started you never can get a repeat series of chats to continue, and I knw we got the scheduled ones every Sunday here in ye old Forum Azul(but when was the last time you went there?), but I think it's just long overdue for a online get-together, maybe in a yahoo or aim chatroom(because then microphones work there...yes, that's right people used to...gasp..sneeze live in the chatroom..lol) sometime.Just a thought swirling around in the brain...what do you think?

dove Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 If it is scheduled, I will do my best to show up! I haven't participated in one of the chats since 2001 or so...Man, I miss the SFO, I'm going to check out the revamp in just a minute here. Link to comment

Demosthenes Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Interestingly enough, I've only ever been in the chat here at SFF once, and it was by accident. It did happen to be Sunday though, so there were still a few folks poking around. A voice chat could prove interesting... Link to comment
atchoum Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Good idea! It's a long time since I have seen anyone in the chat room here. Time differences make it harder, as there are not so many of us after all in any one place - we are scattered all over the earth, but why not try again ? Link to comment
High on Lullabies Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 There was a time when I used to participate in the chat sessions pretty much every Sunday evening and it was a lot of fun, so I'd definitely like to see it happen again with some new people (as several of the original participants have moved on to pastures new) .

The Mute Poet Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Agreed heartily, it's such a good building block for the core of the forum, and can help new people integrate in even mre easily. I think a good place to start may be people making a bit more of an effort to join the wekly chat, southernlad and I were the only ones in it for the better part of an hour Sunday night. C'mon people! (winks) Link to comment
SneezeDoc4u Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 i think a chat sounds like a great idea Link to comment
southernlad Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 i agree, would be good (yet i imagine difficult) to have it at a time when they guys and gals from the UK can get involved Link to comment
The Mute Poet Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Perhaps closer to 4pm eastern time? That would make it a slightly more manageable 8pm there, would it not? Link to comment
Lynne Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 4pm eastern time, most of us are still at work Link to comment
The Mute Poet Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 But if it's still on Sundays that at least less of a problem, no? Link to comment
doggo Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 But if it's still on Sundays that at least less of a problem, no?That's something I've been thinking too, actually.I'd love to attend a chat-get-together. Link to comment
March Hare Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Though time-zones confuse me and I'm not in possession of a microphone, I would certainly love to participate in a live chat session. So how about somebody shouts out a particular Sunday and the others see whether they're free at that time? (I would venture a suggestion, but I can't find my diary now. Excuses, excuses....)

Orionbob Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Chatting using this forum? I'd be interested, even though I tend to lurk. Link to comment
