A Pledge To Try And Get Live Chat Accessible Again

I think the point Geo is trying to point out is not that it could be used as an alternative to a general chat section but just trying to get the chat link fixed. Before the chat link broke there were at times 20 in at a time. We had people who needed a quick answer in relation to their fish coming in and getting an immediate response.

EDIT: That read bad, and still does :crazy:

Yes it works great for that but lets be realistic, for announcements (which was mentioned as the intent for the original post) it would never be effective.

SLC, just drop it. This isn't a thread about the science forum or announcements- if you want to argue about them they have their own threads. Here you're doing nothing but annoying people and wasting space that could be used for replies actually about the topic in hand.

This is true

That's nasty, rude and unnecessary. There are ways of getting your point across. And an obnoxious "holier-than-thou" attitude is not one of them.

I'll stick my hand up and say that:

- Chat is not for me. I've tried it, and don't use this facility on any forum (fish or non fish related) I belong to (don't ask me what I'm doing on this thread then - I'm pointing out why I'm not using it and why other people may not be using it too)
- SLC has some very valid points and most I entirely agree with. Though I disagree that discussing in-depth (aquatic related) science subjects via chat is feasible.

Over and out :good:

I respect this, however there are other threads to discuss this in.

O.K. consider it dropped.

And let me say that I feel terrible, absolutely terrible about annoying you with stuff you aren't being forced to read. And really, this does have to do with the personal announcements forum; geo7x would like to see it occur only in the chatroom, I don't support that idea and wanted to voice my oppinion with regard to the matter, but again I'm sorry I annoyed you.

SLC

Again, fair enough, however this is completely off topic, this has pretty much nothing to do with all of that (which may i point out, is in discussion on another thread, waytogo, you just dragged it in here and have disrupted the point im trying to get across) this is just to do with trying to get the link fixed for the convenience of members, i just put in about the general chat thing as another reason to get the chat link fixed and that maybe some other people might see it as a suficient alternative.

I am trying my best here to try and get the link fixed or replaced, i just want some simple opinions on the matter, and really want admin to take this into consideration, and do his best to sort out the problem.

For some reason, some people cant seem to understand that i am trying to help the situation by getting chat fixed so that people can perhaps chat in there? but another reason is mainly because it has gone far too long with not much recognition as far as i have seen and heard.

i have to agree with feeshy when she said "Drop It", why cant people just accept that there will not be an announcements forum, there has been loads of evidence given about why we cant, and not much on why we should, cant you just accept that?

geo7x would like to see it occur only in the chatroom

cant you see that i was trying to help the situation here? I thought it was clear that we wont have an announcments/chat forum, so i suggested an alternative to you. its better than nothing so i thought you would have appreciated that, but maybe i shouldnt have tried to help you at all :dunno:

Yes it works great for that but lets be realistic, for announcements (which was mentioned as the intent for the original post) it would never be effective.

well that means youre not going to get youre announcements forum at all then if youre going to reject my suggestion, we are not having an annnouncements forum on tff, end of.
 
geo7x, I find you as rude and offensive as OohFeeshy. You two have both jumped onto a merry bandwagon of your own. I can see that both of you have the best of intentions and are clearly both very passionate, but take a second and look at what you're posting. And think about what that looks like to others. Both of you come across quite draconian. And you want people to join you in chat? I'm sorry.....
People aren't blind. You don't have to make every second word (don't take this too literally) of your post bold and shout. You both come across as petulant children.

People wish to discuss these topics. Some of them do cross over. Accept that. Not everything is black and white. Or black and black.

(Not sarcastic) - I sincerely hope you manage to get the chat link up and running again :good:
 
For goodness sakes, I hope chat isn't like it's presented in this thread.

Everyone is allowed to have their opinions, that is what makes it a forum. If we presented one, and only one viewpoint, there sure isn't much point of a discussion. If someone brings up a point, we need to try to take it into account, rather than just putting it down and calling it a day. If you don't want it in your topic, PM them and ask them to either move it somewhere else, or discuss it via PM.

For now, this topic is closed. Fixing the chat link will be brought to William's attention, and people have shown their support. End of story.
