Re: Chat

There are ups and downs with the tigerbolt chat room, but if people are willing to use that as the main chatroom, that's fine.

My thoughts is that even with the tigerbolt chat room being the focus of the chats, i feel it is still important for there to have some sort of announcements telling people something like "between XXXXpm to XXXXpm we are having an official chat about the new game". In other words, some sort of focus in the chat when people know when to show up, and what to talk about. The other problem is there is not a lot of room for multiple discussion in a single chat room.

What I was hopping to see is people who have a specific topic in mind can easily organize a chat for it and invite the rest of the FIRST community to join in. That person will be able to keep the focus on the topic, and have some fun with it. There can be different chatroom happening at the same time so you don't get as much noise in a single one.

Though that's just my thoughts. If people think the tigerbolt chatroom is the place to go to, than that's fine.

*edit* I just saw wetzel's comment about the sticky belonging to chit-chat, and I agree with that. If people are making any sort of chat announcement they should do it in there. *edit*
