I agree Jens. If my computer is on and I'm at it my MSN is %99 of the time on as well. It'd be nice if there was a chat feature like facebook. Or at least an option to see who is signed in at the same time as you.

Sorry...'thoughts'...plural would be nice...my bad.

Why not simply chat on msn .... it would be a lot more stable than a chat feature on this site ......

Thanks BethanyK!

True...do you think people should post their MSN addy on a thread or sent to people through wondermail to those who you'd like to chat with?

I'd think sent through wondermail would be more private, but I'm comfortable adding mine to a thread...you can decide who to add then, right?

I agree to some extent Beshpin, however some of the heated discussions maybe need the time to process...kind of a think before you speak...chatting through some topics would be fun, I was thinking more of the social aspect though...realistically, once something is said, or I should say typed, you can't take it back on chat...but, it's a good point!

I've been doing live chat since 1988, long before the internet went main stream. It bores after a while.

I think a chat line here would be a good idea, as long as there's an option to remain invisible.  Some times ya just wanna read without being interrupted.  Other times a real time communication would be great.  Depends on what mood I'm in... and who else happens to be on at the same time...

I agree with the being able to hide RB. I wonder how easy it would be. I'm thinking something more similar to the facebook chat than MSN is what would work. It also has a "hide" function and otherwise just lists who's active as well has those who are signed in but haven't done anything in a while.

The only thing could be that it might take some of the people of the threads and into just personal conversations. As long as it doesn't take away from thread convos I think it would be fun.

Bethany - where is the hide feature on facebook?

pommum...look under 'options' on the chat screen that pops up on the bottom right...if you click it again after you are 'offline' it signs you back in.

It would be nice to have a chat feature on the site.  Maybe only with friends and friends could see if other friends are online.  When I first saw the friends feature I thought that they might be heading toward adding that feature.

Yes I agree about the 'friends' choice...but it can be done if a WC friend wants to chat on msn...just ask for their (my) addy !!!

 facebook's chat is very unstable. MSN is way better.

Ya! Go MSN!!

This thread has finally inspired me to do something I've not done before-- to go thru my MSN IM list and purge the names of all those people I haven't talked to in years.  The only names left are of those I know who have a computer and are acutally alive to use them.  That didn't leave a lot of names on the list.  Rather short, actually.

Anyone who feels so inclined is invited to wondermail me their contact information, and I'll be happy to attempt to add it to the list (MSN sometimes isn't very cooperative with me... or the computer doesn't like my aftershave... anyway wierd things happen, or don't happen, for unexplained reasons)  Thanks.  Peace, RB

Ya lost me on this stuff?? I got the first part...sorry man, I'm close to 40...should I ask my kids??

And ditto RB, if anyone wants mine!! (I'm sending you WM RB!)

I'm in my mid-20s and this is mostly lost on me... I got some of it, though...

L33t Sp34k = Leet Speak, or, as I understand it, the language of the internet elite

i2 teh = is the

pwnzorz = not too sure on this own... pwn is, I think, leet speak for "own" in the sense of totally humiliating someone in a video game.  But what pwnzorz means, I still haven't figured that out.

I guess you have to be under 20 for it to make sense.

I agree must have to be under twenty, you got more than I did YW

lol, thanks for the attempted translation! Glad it's under 20, I was beginning to feel uber old!

 I'm under 20 and I don't get it 

I also think there should be a chat feature.... I already have a couple of people of WC on my  msn but still I would love to have more!

Ok puppypaws, I'm sending you my addy!!

It's ok, I don't actually talk like that on the internet...or games...or anything.  Maybe the ocasional "pwn'd!" or "roflcopter" but it's not a constant thing :P

I can vouch for what Omni's saying -- I chat with him and I can usually understand him.

lol...you guys are funny!!

I'm available if anyone wants to add me!! Redbaron and I have had the most uplifting conversing going on! Thanks again RB!!!!!

My pleasure, Jen!  Thank you, too!

If anyone wold like to add me if they wondermail me their address I'll add them. I've been getting a lot of spammers lately and don't want to accidently delete people I actually want so it's easier for me to add you myself.
