Guest C-21 Pilot Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) I agree w/ Fuse that nothing really good could come out of it. We built and maintain the Squadron Bar for this very (similiar) reason, although no IM possibilities. Because of all the SPAM that this would lead to, I would refrain from making it possible. HOWEVER: I would agree that making a Baseops Instant Messenger room over at Yahoo, etc wouldn't be too bad...but my vote is to keep it out of the forum realm. Someone w/ more time can put it together.... Suggestions? Edited October 14, 2008 by C-21 Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fogo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think that taking Baseops out of the forum arena would take away what makes it good. I can't quite figure out how to explain it; but for some reason when I first read it, there was something in my head saying it wouldn't work. Not to be immediately dismissed though.

sky_king Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Plus half of you guys would end up on "To Catch a Predator" anyway... I'm looking at you HerkDerka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerkDerka Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think that taking Baseops out of the forum arena would take away what makes it good. I agree with you. The whole point behind the forum is that you can view discussions at your leisure. If the majority of discussions end up in a chatroom, then the people who aren't online at the time end up missing out. Plus half of you guys would end up on "To Catch a Predator" anyway... I'm looking at you HerkDerka Sounds like you weren't watching last season. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD I should have known a more experienced baseoper would be able to come up with the best way to put it. Aside from the discussions; Baseops serves as a place to go to research everything from your first PCS to reviews of pistols. Herk Derka definately hit it on the head if valuble (or hilarious) conversations take place in chat rooms, many will miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawnman Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 On the other hand, watching Bender type without the ability to edit his drunken posts could be amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bender Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm quite good under pressure...Don't be so sure there, hot shot. Besides, you should be well aware of the fact that there is very little editing going on anyway. BENDY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fuse Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Other boards with chatrooms either are never used, or it's an admin disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B*D*A Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Better yet, how about a video chat room! I'd like to be able to see Toro's beer gut and use it to set my own goals. It could also be educational to see Bender passed out on the keyboard and then we could see Steve Davies sitting in a plush leather chair, wearing an ascot, sipping scotch and smoking a pipe with the masterpiece theatre song playing in the background.

Toro Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 You got mine and Bender's right, but I think you're giving Steve too much credit. Here's his facebook profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Davies Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 You got mine and Bender's right, but I think you're giving Steve too much credit. Here's his facebook profile. Thank you, Toro. I love how that photo flatters me and showcases all my best qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Steve, Is it just you or do all Brits own a toothbrush? It's true. The entire country owns ONE toothbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Davies Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Steve, Is it just you or do all Brits own a toothbrush? Good question. We tend to share one brush between a family of four or five. Since my missus and I haven't had kids yet, we share one with our neighbors. In fact, the missus has very good teeth for a Brit; see how white and even they are: I like to think that we are all doing our bit for the environment - toothbrushes destroy the rain forests. Fact.
