I just wanted to know if this was still going to happen and what peoples thoughts about it were.
Me personally i think it would be great idea. It would make discussions alot more interactive, and it would be a quicker and simpler way to get to know people.
So who else thinks it would be good.
Cheers

If there's enough interest I'll look into the forum's capabilities for live chat and what moderation / blocking features etc there are. Will also have to run it past the rest of the committee if it was to go ahead.

Lots of /slash comments there... do I detect a WoW player?

Err not really, never did fansubbed Gundam... 50-52 episodes is too much of a commitment for my translators, besides Bandai very often tells fansubbers not to fansub them and we didnt want to get into any legal wrangling.
But having said that, I like Gundam, not all the series.

How about a rule where you have to be a PCS member (financial or non-financial) for at least 3 months before you can join the chatroom? This is to help deter "hit-and-run" chatters who create a screen nick just to cause trouble?
Just a suggestion...

From what I determined so far IP.Board used to support live chat in previous versions but it got stripped out. So an alternate would be a 3rd party java-based plugin. But this would require quite a bit of testing and some dollars I'm guessin.

If you want, I can help investigate suitable chatroom software? It doesn't have to be plugins, does it? Why not just a standalone chatroom with a different url?

You'll have to call it something like Kev's chatroom of course as it can't be affiliated with the PCS if we aint moderating it
