[Dr. Evil]

I guess this is directed at our Pope/Rabbi Mr. Martian.  

Is there anyway to have a chat room on here?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

After meeting so many people in person.  It's hard for others to truly appreciate the characters we have here.  

For example:  Hubbard and Otis are probably the two of the most interesting people on here.  But you really can't appreciate it with just posts.  

Just wondering.

i could probaly be added let see what the masses think

[shovelhead71]

ok ya get my vote just to see how many screwballs actually can accumulate in one spot [smiley=1syellow1.gif] [smiley=1syellow1.gif] [smiley=1syellow1.gif] [smiley=1syellow1.gif] [smiley=7.gif] [smiley=1syellow1.gif]

OK, those that have met me and those that have not are most likely not going to be surprised that I voted "Yes!"  

It might be fun, but DFW {Should be DJW} , how will you get folks to stay on topic?    [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]  

And I am not changing my kickstand out, no matter what you say.     [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]  

-----------Modified to appologise to DJW.  Thanks Hubbard for pointing out my error, and I know better too.    [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

That would be the Honorable DJW, Mrs.We--Later--HUBBARD

[Fatboy]

That would sure help speed things up over IM's and would help keep the threads on the topics being discussed/debated etc........... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

[HUBBARD]

Yeah, 'er 'uh, naitram,
 Affirmative--Later--HUBBARD

I think it's a great idea!

But the posting guidelines need to be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this great  site.  There probably needs to be moderators that can ensure posting guidlines are followed. I believe that a chat option will be good for this site and will help it grow.

Should enough people vote yes then it's just a matter of whether our fearless leaders can find time to set it up!

i would think the same "common sense" guidlines used in posting should be used in a chat environment, only difference is a chat is more realtime and no historical record would be kept, but that doesnt mean it would be ok to say something in a chat that would'nt be ok to put into a post

My only concern....the abundant knowledge and information shared would not be stored in the appropriate post. I think the reason so many people (including me) truly value this site is that they can always view previous posts and come up with a solution/answer to their question or problem. If that info is directed and subsequently lost to the chat room, I believe the overall value of the site would be compromised. My .02

[hd2003-se2005]

That's my point exactly Naitram.

Use of profanity (not just things like chit or a$$) as an attempt to insult or belittle some one would be grounds for the "boot"

I think a chat option would be great but to manage it would be tough.

I think a lot of JCZ and give him hell but I remember he said one time.

"Everyone remembers what I do wrong, but no one remembers what I do right"

That would be true for anyone managing a chat line.

But I still think it's a great idea.

I could give Tater hell faster! [smiley=laugh.gif]

[hd-dude]

I think its a good idea given that it good be moderated. Chat rooms can get pretty trashy expecially when people have differences of opinions. Maybe a trail to see hoe it goes for a while?

Very good point Laker!

Chip, that was close.  It's not just me........it's a saying that applys to bikers in general  "When we do right nobody remembers........when we do wrong, nobody forgets".  But I understand your point and I appreciate it. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  

By the way, the thought occured to me......a chat room just for you and Tater.  We could have a new Forum titled "Entertainment" where the rest of us could just come and watch. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

[WFP]

I preferred the Chat Room in the lobby of the Jonathon Creek Inn!

Let's meet more to chat in person!

Gotta agree with Laker on this one.........it would almost have to delute the value of what has made this site so much better and unique.  There are plenty of chat rooms to get involved with, but only one CVO 'sharing' site..........'dance with the one who brung you'!.............spyder [smiley=beer.gif]
