JWOA Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Get some Moderators and Have a chat room. Sometimes you can get a faster response this way. What do you guys think??
Super User J Francho Posted December 2, 2013 Super User Posted December 2, 2013 I've seen several forums with a chat feature - usually a "shoutbox" at the bottom of the screen. It's aptly named, since it always deteriorates to arguments. It's way too difficult to moderate as well. 2
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 2, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 2, 2013 Ah yes, the annual topic is about 4 weeks early this year... http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/111068-chatroom/ 2 1
Brian Needham Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I thought this was the chat room, lol! 5
Super User SirSnookalot Posted December 3, 2013 Super User Posted December 3, 2013 I've seen several forums with a chat feature - usually a "shoutbox" at the bottom of the screen. It's aptly named, since it always deteriorates to arguments. It's way too difficult to moderate as well. Many chat rooms breed hot debates that easily run into arguments, personal attacks and language not suitable for everyone, that's the way chatrooms are. I don't feel BR is a conducive arena for a chatroom. Chatrooms don't seem to work well with too much moderation.
Super User Bankbeater Posted December 3, 2013 Super User Posted December 3, 2013 If this site had a chat room I wouldn't get anything done at work. 1
Super User Felix77 Posted December 3, 2013 Super User Posted December 3, 2013 If this site had a chat room I wouldn't get anything done at work. x2! Lol. I spend enough time on this site as it is.
Super User Felix77 Posted December 3, 2013 Super User Posted December 3, 2013 IMO chat rooms don't work like people expect for the reasons already stated above. This forum has very good response rates in general. That is good enough for me.
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted December 3, 2013 Super User Posted December 3, 2013 You can always start your own chat room of sorts via the private messaging feature. The only downside is that it is limited, I think to five participants. On the other hand, it's not moderated, and only the participants have access.
Super User Jrob78 Posted December 4, 2013 Super User Posted December 4, 2013 Fishing chat rooms can be cool but not if they are moderated. Anyone could start a free Bass Resource chat room on Yuku, getting the word out here wouldn't be allowed though.
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 4, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 4, 2013 Not to mention the trademark infringement. Just sayin'

The only downside is that it is limited, I think to five participants. On the other hand, it's not moderated, and only the participants have access. I PM several members back and forth on here all the time as well as having several phone numbers of other members to help each other out with figuring out a lake, sharing where a hot bite is, or filling an empty backseat when I have one. IMO, if you want to talk to someone outside of posting on the boards than send them a PM or get their phone number and give them a call or text. Any of the fishing chat rooms I've ever seen are just stomping grounds for trolls it seems. 1
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted December 4, 2013 Super User Posted December 4, 2013 Trolls..... thays why this is only site i really write on.. youtube is fulled,with them and,dont,even bother talking about a vid i just message the guy whobposted the vid. I think pm, texting , calls is your,best bet
Super User Jrob78 Posted December 4, 2013 Super User Posted December 4, 2013 Not to mention the trademark infringement. Just sayin' That too
Super User MarkH024 Posted December 6, 2013 Super User Posted December 6, 2013 Aol still exists. You can chat away with super model women who fish all the time. Lol
Super User Montanaro Posted December 6, 2013 Super User Posted December 6, 2013 no. ive been on a LOT of forums...chat feature is either abused and useless or completely neglected. Its not as cool and useful as some think
LSU Fan Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Not unless no Politics or Religion spoken in a chatroom.

You sir, have reminded me of a song. Thank you “Politics can start a fight, religion’s hard to know who’s right.... one more topic I won’t touch, that one’s her it hurts to much” Great tune 1
Super User Spankey Posted August 7, 2020 Super User Posted August 7, 2020 Great post. I know to stay out of it. Just recently in a thread about rods and China tried not to get too political. I generally do and will not. I’m not in tune with politics real well admittedly. Please don’t boot me. I like you guys too much to care how you swing politically. 1
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 7, 2020 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 7, 2020 Chat rooms will never happen here. Thought that was apparent after 25 years. LOL And scene... 3
