Hey guys ... I had to make a change to the 'Self-Storage Chat' section of the forum today. When we originally launched this site, we had been told we could include a live chat room where members who were online simultaneously could write to each other in real time. Alas, I find out it is not to be. At least not just now, but we hope to add it. I'll keep you posted. Sorry about that!

Teri,

It's a nice consideration but I would recommend not including a "live" chat room into SST. The additional management overhead and the possibility of it attracting non-storage people to the site would be the main reasons. The forums are very adequate to most of my needs and I probably wouldn't use the chat.

Just my 2-cents worth of advice.

Have a great week,

no, Instant chat would be very nice, I, for one think it would be an important addition to this site and I think it could be self policed.

I think it would be great it is hard sometimes to wait for replies when you are getting busy. I think the other comment is correct we can pretty much police it ourselves. I think it would attract even more members as well. Just my 2 cents worth as well

Real-time chat allows members to arrange their own discussions when the need arises, and would be a terrific resource for ISS to see what people want to talk about when given the option.

Think brainstorming online!
