The Cal-look Lounge

Okay, maybe a bit cheesy but what about a chat option in the lounge?  like the one in facebook?

Why?  cause facebook and other "social websites" are blocked overhere during workinghours, and the lounge is still okay.  ;D

haha, does facebook have chat these days? i haven't been on there for a while now.

it could be a cool addition, but i think it has implications for the quality on the forum too. though i haven't yet figured out whether that's good or bad. perhaps some of the more irrelevant stuff will be left out, so it could be good.

plus it's a cool feature for those that don't use IM applications either.

What is facebook?

We have a chat in our Norwegian vw forum, and we have the opportunity here to, but we think it might overload the server...  it all comes down to $$$ in the end... :-\

I'd rather not have it. If it's Cal Look, racing or project then there's a forum area for it, if not, theres off topic! Why do we need anything else? :)

I waste enough time on here as-is ::)

 ;D ;D ;D

Just think about all that time you waste sleeping when you could be here!

I think I've seen a option for hosting a chat off site... that way it wouldn't drag down your server. If you want I can check it out.

if you got a chat room going on the Lounge Carlos would be Whispering to everybody :D :D :P :P

As Jon points out, we do already have a licenced version of the flashchat, equal to UAC forums chat, but for now we have choosen not to use it.....
That isn't necessarily a permanent decision

The chat room at cal-look.com is always empty. How about having a weekly scheduled chat some place? We used to do that and it worked really well.
