in Chit-Chat
it would be so much easier to communicate than reply-send-reply-send right?

:P

    mmm I don't want this place to become non serious by making it a social tool...

    I agree with your comment.. just not sure if it would be good for the purpose of this site.

    This place is already getting too obnoxious as it is.

    I disable "chat" on FB the same way I deactivated TEXT messaging on my phone.
    Some of us do not like being that accessible.

    Can we add Bejeweled and Angry Birds and Farmville, too?! :laugh:

    I disable chat on FB, and I'd disable it here, too. I don't need more distractions!

    No, not at all. I would despise it.

    Agreed. I disabled chat on FB because I couldn't stand it. No matter what, I truly appreciate this site.

    I'd love it...but I'd like for it to be optional like on some sites and not an "automatic log in" like FB. That I don't like - sometimes I'm in the mood for a chat and sometimes I'm just checking in quickly and don't want to be bothered.

    As for those who think it's too "social" around here, there are other forums that are for fitness, for success, etc. This is the chit-chat board and it's MEANT to be fun/social in this side. If you don't like the "social" side, then why come over here? Stay on the "serious" side of MFP and you can stick to just weight loss/diet and nothing but weight loss/diet. :flowerforyou:

    No, that would invite "bots" to the site. The same things that make you put in a captcha each time you sign up for something.

    Also, you can just use something like TinyChat, me and some friends used to use it on here .

    Enter the chat if you are bored!

    since we have little control over who is on site here and might be subject to constant chats I would pass
    I am generally a grumpy old man I dont have hundreds of friends on facebook or on here as my definition of friend is obviously different than some
    I share info and converse with friends I dont just collect them

    I enjoy the social aspect of the site, but if I want to chat with someone, I'll get on yahoo messenger. There's other forums for fitness, etc? Obviously. Just as there are obviously other sites and services for chatting.

    My inbox gets loaded daily (and I do answer). Part of the reason I like MFP is because there isn't chat.

    Totally.

    I do think we definitely need a like button though! And maybe MAYBE sharing picture on the feed, but we can always post links so it's not the end of the world.
