Cool Chat?

Why doesn't the cellar have chat like some other boards do?

Wait, so you're saying I could add all you folks to IM and then we could waste each other's time immediately, instead of with 5 or 10 minute delays???

Yes, it's very effective.

It's a phenomenal method for simulating sociability, without the actual need to be social.

Like Bender said in The Breakfast Club ... "It's demented and sad, but social."

Reminds me of what one of our professors told me after I gave a presentation to a large group... "You do a very good impression of an extrovert."

All I know is that whenever I enter into a chat session, I immediately think about how slow and dreary it'll be and how long it'll be. I mean, imagine you sitting there waiting, waiting, waiting while I write this post. It would drive you fuckin' nuts! I can't be waiting for people to type as a part of my social interaction.

You shouldn't use IM anyway, Bruce...you already waste enough people's time with your posts.

Depends on the room. I find chat to be faster for direct interaction. In fact, I have my dialysis room chat up now, and it goes by pretty fast. The only thing is when you are down to like 2-3 people, and then yes, it gets slow (but that's the convo, and not the server).

At any rate, to each his/her own. Just a thought: I think it would add to the Cellar to have a kick ass chatroom, but that's just a thought.
