Many thanks to the gd.ie members that checked out the room – it was a lot of fun having a chat with people from the boards in a more real-time way!
IMHO, it definitely showed that having a real-time chat facility for gd.ie is a great way for members to get to know each other a bit better.
If an online shindig was arranged at key times ( eg once a month, a few weeks after the physical shindig ), it could be a great asset.
Is anyone up for participating in an initial test – say on Wednesday at 5pm or so, just after work? If we can get several members in at the same time, it’ll be interesting to see how the type of chat differs from the possibly more formal syle of forum discussion.
Raise your hand if you’re up for it! :)
