    ??? I've loved the chat rooms at other places, but isn't it expensive and time consuming to monitor/run these? I'd hate to stretch their limits. (And being a cheap-skate myself, wondering what this would do: make it a charging site or add ads... I'm so very pleased that PT doesn't have ads...)

    I'm talking myself into a no vote, I think...

    I voted no. Why?? Well because I think Paul and Karen have their hands full with this site, let alone having to worry about a chat room. But that's only my opinion.

    Well, I think the features here are sufficient - after all, if you want to keep something private, you can send PM's . And the ones who wants to chat realtime, there's MSN, ICQ etc. Some of the members here are already using these. However, I'm not adding just anyone to my list!

    As members are in different time zones, I don't think a chat room would be helpful. We always have PM, a lot more useful.

    ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!! This is for Pet Talk. There are plenty of other chat room sites out there. And I don't believe that PM's should take the place of a chat room. PM's should be used if you are sending private information to some such as address, phone number etc. If you want to chat, send them an email or use MSN messenger.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    No way! I personally hate chat rooms (they get WAAAAAAAAY out of hand), and if PT turned into a chat room, I would be forced to leave.

    I like PT the way it is. Forums are great and easier to moderate and keep clean. Chat rooms are wild and get bad fast, plus you can't delete stuff people say since they are saying it live.

    I think that it would be kinda neat, because then you could have live chats with ppl from pet talk.

    I voted no. I *personally* don't like chat rooms.

    LOL Cataholic! The people I feel I know and like, I would of course add - and you're on of them. I keep my list fairly short, as I just haven't got time to chat for that long. I use it primarily for short messages which require an answer immediately, and for that, it's excellent! I would never go out on the public chat sessions with people I didn't know.

    Yep, Karen and Paul sure did a great job on this site, and I love it just the way it is. But a chat room would be cool, we'll be able to get to know each other more. But I think I like it just the way it is. I don't really like chat rooms either, I never really go in them.
