Punterslounge IRC/Chatroom

[888]

Hi, First of all I don't know if this suggestion has been brought up or not, but I have a feeling this issue had been discussed. However, I can't find it anywhere. So what do you guys think about making PL.com chatroom where all PLers can interact and stuff ? I think its a really good way to communicate with each other (LIVE) and on top of it everyone can use it for free. But if this has been extensively discussed please do accept my apologies. :tongue2

Hi mate, Thanks for the suggestion. We have gone through this on several occasions already in the mods section and have so far decided against it. I think its fair to say that it would have the place looking very much like a teenage girls web-chat which is not really what PL is about. Most members here are on MSN and the like and it is sure to be a distraction from the site in general. Say if we had a chatroom then most people would not be bothered posting their tip and fancies thus we'd have many empty threads everywhere, why write it up if you can just stick it in the chat in passing. Its fair to say that all the good info that makes PL special would indeed be a thing of the past. One other point is that it would be very difficult to control a chatroom and it would be open to many forms of abuse. Most notable scammers etc. They would effectively have a free reign on the place and we could not really protect any of our members from that. Im sure nobody wants that.
