Live Chat Feature?

[River]

Over time, some folks in here have indicated that they'd like to have a live chat feature for www.polyamory.com .

Is this something you'd like to see?

(I don't know if we can do it, but we might try!)

[Sunshinegrl]

yep!

[LovingRadiance]

OMG YES YES YES YES (wow that was awesome)

Seriously-yes I think that would be awesome. As it is I tend to sit on the "whose online" board and watch where they are looking/posting, then chasing the posters on the threads they are on so I can actually communicate with people online.

I think it would be wonderful to be able to do that!

yes def would be really intresting to talk to everyone live.

[NeonKaos]

I already do that on FB but you can only do it with one person at a time.

(Mono probably won't like the chat room)

Are we talking chat room or individual instant messaging? If I had to choose I'd choose the latter. I find chat rooms on sites that are dedicated like this generally aren't as useful.

Individual instant messaging (IIM) would certainly be good!

For those who don't know, IMM allows folks to invite live text conversation outside of the forum.

I think IIM should be easy enough to add to the forum and that it's a higher priority than a chat room. But both would be cool! Nobody'd be forced to use either.

As someone new to this forum and also in the beginning (oh please hope hope hope) of a poly relationship - I would find it very beneficial to be able to "talk" with someone with some prior knowledge of how this works (beginning and maintaining a poly relationship).
