Cool Basic Chat function?

I always see several (if not hundreds) of people online at the same time. I think it would be great to have a basic chat built into the website for us to talk to each other more frequently. I suppose I could always just give out my MSN or AIM name, but if there was one built into the website that would be great.

Default Re: Basic Chat function?

A chat room has been suggested several times before. The biggest drawback I see to a chat room is that much of the useful information that would be garnered from those chats would not be viewable to others not on line at the time or the stealth guests who are just looking for insights from current and old threads. Before joining TAM I spent a few weeks just browsing through threads for my own marital issues. I fear we would lose a lot of that with a chat feature.

Yeah, the idea's been beat to death. We've decided against it every time.

I would suggest using Yahoo messenger or something like that to chat with your buds. I use trillian, because it lets me chat with people on Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
