FireMedic65 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Alright everyone the chat has been open to all members for awhile now. The chat is usually empty or has very few people. I was thinking of setting up designated times where more people can arrange to come chat with other members, and get a chance to meet and talk with your fellow posters. I made a poll to see when would be a good time for the majority of members to come chat. If we can decide on a day and time that would be great. Also, this doesn't mean if you can't be around that time doesn't mean you can't chat at other times! People are there once in awhile. I am merely trying to arrange a gathering of sorts. edited: to fix poll questions Edited February 19, 2011 by FireMedic65 1
Richard B the EMT Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I am somewhat unsure this would work, as we come from many countries, and many time zones.
FireMedic65 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 good point.. but at least I am trying to get people together

crotchitymedic1986 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I applaud your efforts, but doubt you will have success. Chatting in a chat room is so 1990ish. I can't remember the last time i was in a chatroom. Most of us choose to chat through texting or by posting on a social site like this or facebook, and then returning when you have time to follow up. Sitting in a chatroom for hours is just too inefficient.
Chief1C Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Unfortunately, I only log in to the site, when I see a worthy discussion in the forums. If there happens to be more than two people in the chat room, and I'm bored, I log in. More often, if there are just two people, you get a few minutes of "hi, how ya been", and then neither one posts anything for an hour. I enjoy chatting w/ "you people", esp when you get a mix of folks from every continent. I remember when we would have fifteen people, and carry on all night...Just b/c there was nothing else to do. Many time, the sun was up by the time it started getting quiet. Lively debates, casual conversations, it's all good. But it's all gone. EMS is a melting pot, and no system works everywhere.. Our most common debate. I'd be up for a weekly chat, as long as we had a full house.
scubanurse Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I think maybe with some help in advertising from Admin we can boost chat participation during certain times? I know I'm usually only on and looking for people to talk to at night for me (7-10MST)
Just Plain Ruff Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Word of mouth and these types of threads do more good than advertising. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
scubanurse Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Not so much advertising but a banner on the home screen maybe?
