Chatroom
-
I think a chatroom would add to the community feel of The Code Project. I think language related chatrooms would detract from the forums or Q&A boards. However, I think an open format chat room where programmers can chat about open topics and discuss various off topic subjects would really add to The Code Project.

He means an actual chat room (IRC model chat) rather than discussion forums.

From the two 1-votes you received, you might have guessed that this is not a popular idea here. Also a chat room is useless when there are more than a dozen participants, and if you've observed it here, we usually have 50-60 people active in a forum at any given time.

I've never used a proper chatroom (the benefit of being a dinosaur) and cannot see what it would bring to the site. Can you imagine what it would be like with [add your favourite CPian's name] given free reign in such an environment? BTW I was not one of the univoters on the OP.

Well, IRC chatting was kinda popular in the early 90s, and maybe the late 80s (via BBSes), so if you pre-dated that you must really be one of the early dinosaurs :-) And yeah, I don't support this site running a public chat room either. In my experience, it only works well for a very small group (12 or less).

I wouldn't mind it. It could serve as an immediate question/answer kinda thing.

Good suggestion. Synchronous communication (chatrooms) could be an extension to the form of asynchronous communication found at CodeProject (forums, Q&A, blogs). Chatrooms should not be thought as a thread to replace the forums, some people prefer one or the other form of information exchange over the other. I guess informal communication happens usually in a chatroom. It could also help to collaborate and answer quick questions. When I was still active in Q&A some members clicked on my profile and found the link to my online chatroom... which did provide just that: answer quick questions. /M

The problem I have with Chatrooms is that they can get out of control quickly, the exclude most members from the conversation (it's over and done with and won't ever come back if you were in the wrong timezone), and is very difficult to moderate in any sensible or meaninful way.

Agree. Also another point is, if Chat-room once implemented then, then many new members will be raise all the questions(mostly frequent questions again & again) through chat room instead of discussion forums & Q/A section. Ex Chat conversation: New member 12345 : Hi, I heard about you are famous in CP, i need a project for XXXX? it's very urgent i need to submit today evening. so make it fast. CG : ???? :doh: :~:mad:

Why? Moderated chatrooms have been around since the 90s. Considering a closed chatsystem for CodeProject members, you could even ban abusive members in retrospective.
