Very true.

When I were looking at some stats last night- I noticed a total of 43 threads were created yesterday alone.

Makes for god viewing, and keeps people online... this is good.

I think this is a VERY good point.

The thing with the chatbox is not everyone will feel welcome there.. if joe bloggs and Eric Shon are chatting away in there- Harry Don might not want to chip in and say anything.

Threads are so much more inviting.

i dotn think the time limit worked then Tom as when I had my moment I was posting like a devil possesed mad thing as where others.


Im now thinking we are better without the chat box but miss the brain dead chat there.

Bens point is very well made, perhaps then we just need a chat forum section which is just for these daily weekly chatty things.

I was changing it all the time, trying different times. The faster the chatbox refreshes- the more load it puts on the server.

However the longer refreshes- the less 'Live-chat' it becomes.
