a 'smiley smile' chat room?

[ontor pertawst]

I'd vote against a chatroom simply because it's hard enough having to deal with the misfits, trolls and retards here without having to do it in real time. That said, it would have the decided benefit of shutting up those who keep bleating "well just don't read his posts, then".  

It's kind of you offering to serve as a real time moderator and referee. I'm sure that will make for a suitably friendly, welcoming atmosphere in this hypothetical chat room. I think the hammer should be brought down especially hard on poor grammar and people that don't wear yellow on Sunday. After a hard day making stern yet fair judgments with a twinkling eye, you can then you can make parents with special needs kids disgusted by using the word "retards" in 2013.

On the plus side, think of the cliques and gossip that could flourish in a barely comprehensible manner! Somebody post edited highlights.

Speaking of barely comprehensible, I think I agree AND disagree with you so cancelled myself out. I'll get my coat.

Chat rooms? That is SO 1995

[Freddie French-Pounce]

I feel it would be useful to blurt quick things, maybe promote something in the SSWMMusic forum, y'know.

I feel it would be useful to blurt quick things.

That's how I post on here, I don't need a chat room for that.

Personally I think that the moderator on this hypothetical chat room should get voted in every day. Think of the crazy power struggles that would ensue. The arse licking, the back stabbing. Pass me my hypo-tension pills, I'm logging on.......

Dammit you guys, I tried to set up an IRC channel for this site a few months ago and nobody used it at all

If this happens I'll be so pissed

[Alex]

I'll bet it would eventually devolve into nothing but "a/s/l? wanna cyber?"-type conversations.

Hell naw. Mods. Modbots. Bannings.

Clearly you've never seen an excellent IRC channel

[EgoHanger1966]

I'll bet it would eventually devolve into nothing but "a/s/l? wanna cyber?"-type conversations.

No way. No one in their right mind would want to have cyber sex with a Beach Boys fan:

"A/S/L"?

"Ohhhh yeah. All Summer Long. That's a classic album full of Brian masterpieces."

A/S/L is "age", "sex" and "location".

People who were around some 15 years ago remember that infamous acronym. It was used anywhere and everywhere.

I knew that. But fine, if you insist. A second Beach Boys fan attempting to cyber sex:

"A/S/L"?

"Age:24. That's when Brian Wilson made Pet Sounds. Sex: Brian Wilson was having loads of sex with Marilyn when he made Pet Sounds. Location: Gold Star Studios, where Brian Wilson assembled with the Wrecking Crew to make Pet Sounds. Hbu?"

So what are you doing later tonight?

Age 30. Sex: Yes, please. Location: Butt.

What's the diff between what we have here and a chatroom?

Mr. Manning, I wanted to ask exactly the same question but you were faster. As it is known, "chat" is a synonym of "conversation" which we already have with other "BBs freaks" since the whole board's dedicated to the fans of this specific group. After checking the link given by Swedish Frog, I'm going to say the "chat room" idea is rather useless & redundant. Yes, I got now the difference, but it isn't that visible.
However, I'm not against the installment of chat room - if other posters like it, then fine, the majority wins anyway. I myself would definitely ignore this stuff. It's enough for me to talk about The Beach Boys/other music traditionally.

[drbeachboy]

I'd love to have voice chatroom. I am so curious as to whether we would be as disrespectful to each other verbally, than we sometimes are in here with the written word. I'm thinking not, as on the whole we are likely better than that.

[bringahorseinhere?]

I know its so '1995'...... but im hoping if people are 'good natured'....... ?.......

it could work........... why cant we just chat openly about stuff......


those who don't like the idea, do not have to participate......... its that simple.

[bringahorseinhere?]

Someone here could easily set up a chat room on an IRC site or something and link it here. No need for it to be official. We could set a time and just go there.

I can look into it tonight.

Interesting idea.  I'd love to know what would happen if we all met in person.  Who'd get punched out first? The funny thing is I went almost 15 years before I met another fan. Then I came on here and discovered BB fans are all arseholes.
