Query
It's been suggested to me to open a chatroom for TONFA. I'm not much of a fan of webbased chatrooms, and given the dismal showing of both the livejournal community and the (now defunct) forums, I figure I should post a message here asking for opinions.The basic options are to revive the forums, open a chatroom, or open an IRC channel (which, I'll admit, is the one I like best).
We could also try to figure out how to get a respond & nested comments feature for the news pages. The problem with this idea is that I don't know how to do that, and would require finding someone that does.
Ideas? Comments? General randomness?
edit: So, apparently we've come to the conclusion that while being able to chat would be awesome, chatrooms can lead to bad things. (That's why rules were invented.)
There's also, apparently, been the decision to "do whatever you want, admin-type!" Which isn't all that helpful. What I'm mostly asking is: if we were to install one of the above options, would any of you actually use them?

I agree fullheartedly.. It would be a great asset to this place. I mean then we could just have people exchanging ideas and such. ^_^ But I have to stay neutral.. It isn't good for me to become a fervent person.. >.> Bad for me.

IRC chat sounds best in this situation if a forum area was a dead idea. And considering I hate anything relating to actual webbased chat...(I've seen a LOT of bad grammar used...and that is just ONE of my petpeeves about it. xD) Yeah. =3 IRC ftw!!! m/>.

Well.... I think it would be fun to have a chatroom....... but I guess we really don't need one...... I don't know, whatever you guys choose... = ^.^ =

I don't think chatrooms are safe but I'd like a faster way to talk to people without leaving having to leave TONFA.

It would be a good idea and TONFA would get more publicity like that, but do what you want I like TONFA

A chat room would be fun, but I agree that they could be unsafe, but then again it would be an easier way to talk to one another... I'm not helping much am I?

Well...I think it would be cool, but hey, do what you want. It's a free country, no pressure from me! >.>

*blinks* now i see about the whole "do what you want" comments you've been getting, Chatrooms=Cool, but the vast range in ages on the site, is a bit troubling. I suggest that if enough people want the chatroom, set bounderies, like you can have the ability of reporting someone for the safety of the younger ones...ya know. At a time like this, its all morals. Damn it must be hard to be one of the admins on here...hehe..*Leaves and wave* okay I'm done and Bye...Don't get stressed over a couple of indecisive peoples....bye now!!

T_Witch told you eh? A chatroom would be a splendid addition to TONFA. But I assume I shouldn't pressure you. Do what you must...
