Was curious if there was still interest in live one or two hour chat on either Monday or Tuesday eves.

Since this is the site's busiest time of the year, I thought we might want to look at the idea a little more seriously this time. I do have Java-based chat available on the site right now, but it's basically unlinked to, so it would only take a few minutes to have everything up and running.

Personally, I'd prefer a Monday or Tuesday night myself ... either 8 to 9, 9 to 10, or 8-10 PM.

I'd appreciate any feedback on whether the group would be interested in this, and preferred times and days. Thanks!

Yeah Bob, Chat sounds great,,,I think that 7-10 for one whole week would be cool, or have a chat that is open all day. just a thought. I think that it will be a good way to talk to one another with out having to post a topic and o a reply.

Hope your back is feeling better, and I am thankful that your not fishing so there are some more fish to be caught, thanks again for all your time in effort spent in front of the PC making this the BEST fishing site on the web
Thanks

I like the idea too Bob. Monday (or Tue.) would be a good day, right after the weekend fishing. The chat on ifish is on Wednesday nights and it starts at 8pm. Then it just goes as long as people want to stay on. When I used to get on there it commonly lasted until around 9:30 or so. I haven't been there in a couple months, but some have taken to logging on as me or other person to make us look bad. Allowed and totally different from their BB policies (because of the bashees?). So I would suggest using the same as BB guidelines to avoid negative chats. Maybe an eject button for 'chat crackers'? ...

One thing that is cool, because there are usally a dozen or two of hard core anglers on these chats (which aren't saved like posts are), rather than being seen by hundreds of fishers, that secret techs and places more often get discussed. And there is a running list of monikers of who and how many are on (many anonymously, that need observation for motives). Other than that, great avenue for interactive fishin talk, and some of that 'guys' type of "boat talk"; which the ladies are also good at I might add. Fun.

Bob, I think that the live chat thing would be great. I hope you decide to do it. Anyone wanna cyber?

Sounds like a great idea Bob!! John Koenig has a chat room and we meet in there every night at 8:00 and its alot of fun...TM

Great idea! Anytime Monday or Tuesday later in the evening. I bet your numbness and tingle sensations have been replaced by just plain old inflamation and swelling pain! I much prefer the later and I bet you will too. I see you casting in less than 4 weeks! A bit longer for the oars. R Ridgeway

The live chat is always available for use at this address:

Antime, you'd like to swtich over to use it, just go to the page and enter your name. It's a pretty basic script, but I'd like to judge the interest before I spend some $$$ on a high-end script.

I 'm game to get a regular session going on Mondays for now from 8 to 10. I won't do it this upcoming Monday as I will be out of town, but I'll make some announcements for the first hosted chat on Monday the 7th from 8 to 10 PM.

Perhaps, if we get this rolling, I'll try to invite some guests to sit in as well

Bob, a regular chat time sounds great. I will give it a try. Any way to change my Displayed name to a different moniker?

Never mind Bob - took care of it.

Sounds interesting. I might just learn something about steelhead.

I like the idaea

bob before you go spending money on script could i suggest a program i use it is called paltalk and you can do voice and text chat, all you have to do is create a personalized room tell everyone where to go and whala it is free and simple to use with file sharing etc..
the addy is www.paltalk.com you could just put a link on your page next to your chat message if you are interested

Monday from 8-10 works great. I've used the ifish chat room a couple of times, when Bball was canceled. I feel that I can talk more freely about places to fish.

what about us People who work nights so we can fish days?????? I to would like to chat at those times but can't due to work priorities.

So did anyone do the chat thangggg last night??? I just remembered....I know a day late and a dollar short again!!! Bob, if this is gonna be a Monday regular avent it might help to remind us with a short post the first few weeks.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff

I forgot too

Got so caught up in the storm and the river behind the house I totally spaced.

Next Monday, I promise! I'll be adding an announcement in the next day or so to the top of the board in the next day or so.

Sorry!
