Live Chat

On the main page, at the top, there is a "live chat" option. I noticed no one uses this. Do you think we should?

I suggest that a Professional dancer host a live chat so that there can be a Q &A or something.

The difficulty in the past has been that bhuzzers are not all in the same time-zone. It's nearly lunchtime here in the UK, in Japan & Australia it's nearly tomeorrow & NZ it's already Saturday, and the Americans & Canadians are just about getting up... Even within the USA, there are several hours difference between East coast & Alaska.

So if you organise a party on live chat, half of bhuz won't be able to come along & join in (which is less fun for everybody).

Right, I know that Bhuz users are from around the globe, so that's why there has to be a group of Professional Dancer's who could do this different times throuout the week, not just from the US but from the UK, Australia and whereever else.

Just a thought.

A while back several of us were online (I think is was Dani's online graduation party ) and the chat feature didn't work very well when there were too many of us online at the same time. It kept getting stuck, we'd get kicked offline, it would stall or freeze up, and it would take forever for anything to appear on the screen. It ended up being too frustrating to ever try it again.
I don't know if they've fixed it since then.

Regards
Priscilla

I've used the chat room several times. Whenever I'm in there it's usually just me or one of my friends that I met in there. I've actually made a few really good friends in there and have had some very long conversations with them

Guess we need a new one with better options. Altough, I have never tried it.

Actually, I met Poohbear in live chat - we've kept in touch since. I don't use it much but from time to time I do check to see if anyone is there!

I've gone there several times but its usually empty... I've left it up for several hours and not a peep from anyone. I get a faster response from the boards than I do the chat room.

I wonder if part of the reason it's not really used is that it's very visible. I'm sure I'm not the only one that goes straight to the main forum page most of the time and bypasses the homepage altogether. Seeing this thread is the first time I've ever even realized that we had a chat room.
