That may be nice ….pass it on to Martin he can give you an answer on that

It has been discussed in the past and he had some live chat events where someone answered questions I belive. Not seen one for a while.

I think the the last the last live chat was about a year ago – some IM or something like that would be nice.

-- Tony - All things are possible, just some things are more difficult than others! - SKYPE: Heron2005 (http://www.poydatjatuolit.fi)

i think that a chat would be cool.

I would be interested.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

That would be a great addition to the site.

-- Hope Never fails

Interesting.

Yeah, Martin, you don’t have enough to keep you busy. Let’s get cracking on this idea. lol!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

I may be wrong but I thought when this was brought up before the concern was that if questions started getting answered in live chat there would be no way of storing and then sharing that information with others as is the case with posts like this. Maybe I’m wrong but I thought that was mentioned anyway.

Chip might have a point.

-- Grumpy - "Always look on the bright side of life"- Monty Python

I’ve seen in the past on some live chats, the conversation was converted into a written format.

Unless there is a software program for that, it would be a difficult and time consuming process.

Maybe Martin can develop the software and then retire off it! (after sending me a commission for the idea)LOL

There was the woodworker’s web before and it was fun. It never seemed to interfere with postings and gave folks a chance to get to know each other a bit better. The trick is to do it in a way that people remain civil.

There are several basic free IM services out there. ICQ and AOL IM are a couple that I remember. All you have to do is sign up and then give whomever you want your ID and they add you as a friend/buddy.

It has been a LONG time since I used either and I guess I will go see what I can find out about them now.

P.S. I think microsoft/windows/MSN has a version too.

We had two live chats one year ago together with transcripts posted:

• Jul 12, 2007 - Selling Woodworking Items on eBay with Dan Walters
• Jul 08, 2007 - Veneering with David

The main problem was that the whole process was quite time consuming and not many folks joined at that time. But I think that regular topical chats will reappear in the future…
