Query 4: Xomba Chat

Query 4: Xomba Chat

I've asked the Wizard of Xoz (an omniscient being, or a little man behind the curtain?) about adding to this site a chatroom function. I'm not sure what that entails, but I figure the brains behind Xomba can sort it out.

Like other writers, I enjoy posting, sharing, reading and learning from others' pieces. I also enjoy adding and reading comments. Sometimes there is a lively back-and-forth, and that's where a chatroom would be handy. It would give us that immediacy and the feeling that we're all here together (as much as a chatroom can, anyway).

But I suppose one of the main considerations would be: Is there a need, a demand for such a chatroom? Of course, it's not a NEED for us; we can get along fine without it. But if a chatroom is more than just one writer's want, then it'd be something to look into.

I second that motion

A chatroom would allow people to get to know one another which would be helpful in understanding comments posted. Maybe this isn't a major issue for other people I am not sure but for myself,I would find it helpful. I know how easily people can misunderstand me and if they knew me better it would help.I think it is a great idea.

The "Wizard of Xoz" speaks

Chat-Room... We've bounced this idea around from the begining. It's not that we're against it we just haven't gotten to discussing it again. If you guys really make a push for wanting it, then we'll discuss it sooner than later. :)
