Keep The Chat Room On Main Page?

All,

I've noticed that barely anyone is using the chat window, so I've removed it. I can put it back. But I thought I would see how people respond once it's gone. We can still talk to one another via the Inbox. And the forums are still available for general discussion.

Let's try this for a while and see if we miss it.

Michael

Noticed the new "Tweeks" Michael- I miss the chat too. Even if I don't participate at the time, I still see who's sayin' what to who- I actually wish more members would use the chat box. That's how I have hooked up with some of our foreign members- I also use the inbox to com. with a few perticular members from time to time- However, I go with te flow- do miss it though- later bro.

I really miss it, I was able to chat with other blues players or blues people from the other side of the world, that was my only chance, I hope it will return!

Never thought I'd say it, but I kinda miss it too.

Or maybe put the chat window back under the Community heading? Seems like most of the folks who miss the app are folks who use it regularly, and I imagine those folks would be just as happy to visit a "Chat" page to say hello and visit. That'd take care of my original objection about throwing every site visitor into a chatroom whether they wanted to be there or not, while still providing the interactivity that some of us have grown accustomed to.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been sick for a couple days and I'm just now getting around to getting back online.

Chuck, there's no way with the current tool to put the chat on another page. We could use a different chat tool. But I've tried that before and it's just too confusing for people.

I'll put the chat room back.

Thanks yall,

Michael
