Bring back the chat room

[LostMyShirt]

I only saw this today and it looks pretty cool apart from me being the only one there, might drop in tomorrow when trading starts to see if i can talk to anyone bar myself

It's always empty - I wouldn't mind having it populated during trading sessions - it may turn out to be a good maner of announcing oppertunity and quick conversations of analysis for the day.

Thats a shame, i agree would be very handy to have as if you are working on something else you always have to manually check for new posts whereas the chat makes cool sounds and is instant.

I don't know if it is viable but it might be worthwhile, for the time being, to post in a thread such as this one that you will be in the chat room for a given time.

Other members seeing your post in this thread may then elect to drop into the chat room to chat?

Where did the chat room go?

The old chat room was removed because the code was outdated, was no longer being updated, and was vulnerable to being exploited by hackers as a result.

I added a Facebook style footer chat bar that wasn't used much and ended up removing it as I felt it was noticeably affecting site performance and wasn't being used enough to justify the impact it was having on site speed.

I am open to reintroducing some kind of live chat functionality but I would need to be convinced that it would be something that would be used enough to justify reintroducing it.

Please feel free to post any feedback or opinions in this thread.

Joe I think the site forums act as a chat room as it is, I don't think there's any need to have more immediate feedback to comments made
