    Why does SBR have a chat room?

    I can understand a live chat for dealing with site issues, but for posters to chit chat? Why? I'd think SBR would want all chat room stuff on the forum where numbers would be greatly increased (this is assuming the forum here is an active one).

    I admit to not being a chat room person. I tend to multitask which is next to impossible in chat - it's too confining. Many years ago I did use them occasionally but my head was spinning from a dozen chatters chatting at the same time. I've went into this one once and nobody was in there, another time recently by mistake and was outta there in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

    It is easier than posting, I am sure to maintain doesnt cost SBR much. They should use this more efficiently thought by maybe making a contest in the chat?

    great question.

    nothing good comes of that place ever, especially since its hardly moderated. see how many complaints come from that chat room alone??

    hate to sound like a broken record, but i've never had a pleasant experience there. some people were over at my place while i was in chat, away from my comp, and pics of gay porn start popping up, for all to see.

    It's a tool for posters to exchange phone numbers, nude pictures for dating, taking bets..you know all the good stuff they can't do in a non-interactive forum environment.

    sexy time happens in chat, its absolutely vital to the continued success of sbr without a doubt.

    any talk of destroying chat should be an instant perma-ban and this thread should be moved to PZ immediately

    That I can understand, but what percentage does live betting represent in the chat room?

    It's bitching about movies and sharing porn with others the entire reason for the internet? And when you combine them both you get offshore sports betting... I love the internet!!!

    That's my point. Those 7 guys in there for 16 hrs/day would make wicked power posters.

    JJ, you know it's all about the numbers. Do chat numbers appeal to advertisers?

    Always was hearing people talk about sbr chat. Didn't know what it was until a few nights ago. I discovered it by accident. Wen't in for like a minute noticed it's just a chatroom. I also wondered why they have a chatroom at the forum. Seems redundant.

    The chat crew didn't jump on my back. You're slipping, Patsy.

    Thread isn't a knock on the chatters - I understand why some members enjoy conversing in that fashion. It's about why SBR John would want a chat room when it takes away from the forum. Not going to catch covers this way.
