AB chat room

[netibiza]

AB doesn't do chat, but if it did it would probably be the best chat room in the world. Agree???

Hi ED can we have a tiny chat room not a large one so we can talk about wee small fury animals the weather the nice things in life ice cream on a hot day punting on the river. Nessie watching on a Scottish lock, eating cucumber sarnies watching cricket (a game for the Lassies) on an English green a choir singing in a Welsh valley (bird watching) come on ED O merciful ED ED the great one ED the redeemable ED the uneditable ED the unwobbabobable. I like the free taxi vinny.

No. The actual Qs and As are far more interesting than the constant whingeing about the AB Editor's malfeasance. Don't introduce a chatroom. (I said the opposite the other day, but I've changed my mind, the steady moaning is getting up my nose. Chill out, everyone.)

jno- have a few  Carlsbergs  and come back for a chat!!

hi jno how�s the car? Good election what do you think a forth term possible?

I couldn't agree more, Jno. I've never visited one myself, but I understand the WWW is heaving with chat rooms. There even is - or was - one created specifically for members of AnswerBank. I'm sure that, if it is still operational, someone will provide the address for you, Netibiza. Leave AnswerBank to fulfil its stated purpose.

I think if we all met up on a chat room then we would soon get very fed up with each other  - the moments of fun we have on AB mix really well  with the serious questions.  As much as I moan, I think that the editing is really quite a good idea, it's just gone somewhat haywire at the moment.

I love the diversity we get on here.  We are all so different!  After all, we are allowed to chat quite a bit!! 

Yes Answerbook still exists as New Answerbook and I enjoy it and have found some very good friends, but I also enjoy this site for different reasons.

[netibiza]

I'm not saying that AB should have a chat room.  And I tried Answerbookers but couldn't get on with it.  I just like the disparaty of AB and all the different members - most feel like good friends.

I like it on here for the same reasons as FP and dear old netti!! XXX

No I do not agree. When I found this site I was happy with the Site Rules as I wanted to get away from chat sites. This site was perfect, according to the rules, which we all agreed to abide by.

This is not a chat site and should not become one. There are plenty of chat sites out there for people who wish to chat. There are fewer sites where you can post a question and get a reasonable answer.

I have seen user post a question which then gets turned into a chatty thread. Does anyone stop to think that the person who posted that question gets inundated with e-mails everytime there is a reply.

No one would dream of going into a private club and trying to force them to change the rules. Why do it here?

Are you trying to entice me to chat with you hung6?

I agree with you netibeza, what's on the agenda for tomorrow?

[netibiza]

hung6 - please read the question again!!! I was not suggesting for one minute that it should change, only that if AB did run a Chat room it would be pretty good, and didn't other ABers agree with the sentiment.

[hung6]

In which case netibiza how does that in any way, shape or form warrant a post in AB Suggestions?
