Stupid idea or no? I was just wondering, I always wanted to communicate with you all outside the forums as well as in the forums. Like when I say communicate outside the forums I mean like we can form a chat room or a group on an IM application. It's always nice to talk to people who are 'like you'. And we are all alike because we have interests in astrology & are able to understand it. A typical person just says 'OMG horoscopes?? Are you serious? Those things aren't real!! and they don't know anything about astrology. To understand astrology you need to be somewhat open-minded & not just look at little details (sun signs etc.) and see the big picture to understand! (Birth charts etc.) So anyways, I'm saying we should form like a group on maybe something like (Kik messenger, blackberry messenger, GroupMe) and we can talk on there while we're on the go, if you want. So is anyone agreeing with this idea? Is it a good idea or no?

Hmmm... We would have to use an application that everyone has access to. Something like: Live Messenger or GroupME can be downloaded on most smart phones. Kik messenger is a biggie right now! We have to decide what messenger we would use.... IP: Logged |

You raise a good point where its difficult to have a conversation with people without filling up the thread! I use my puter rather than my phone on here. IP: Logged |

Be aware that some people will be sure you're saying horrible things behind their back there (which may or may not be true). Likewise, some will falsely claimed you said terrible things about another person to make that person think you don't like them. I don't know how often it would happen but it does happen at least some of the time. I think I heard of a "mods only" forum that used to be here that had to be done away with because everyone else thought the mods were making threads about them where no one else could see.

Seriously. That already happens where there's NO privacy and there's still passive aggressiveness on the board. I would like an application to be able to talk with members without having to add them to my personal Facebook or give them my personal e-mail account. IP: Logged |

I agree. People already do that kind of stuff. If it got worse than it is now then I'm sure we would take proper action, even getting rid of it altogether.I think NeatChat is a great way to do that Hannaramaa. At least we would all get to choose our name AND the chat will stay open indefinitely once it's been created Here I'll show you, if you're up for it! 
http://www.neatchat.com/?id=35a3298c600e54e1d18279f177ea33e2 It'll ask you for a name, then enter when you're ready. There's actually a "previous messages" tab so it'll all be available to anyone that clicks the link at a later date! Another option would be 1 on 1 conversation through omegle. You could put "lindaland" in the interests box and then join whomever else has "lindaland" as their interest. It's not obviously open to anyone though and anyone could impersonate another easily. I don't think it's the best option. Maybe a moderator could open a neatchat since the person that creates the link would have administrative control of the window and it could be lindaland's own chat interface! IP: Logged |

Good idea. I'd love to get to talk to you guys about all kinds of topics. The neatchat would be good!  I'm in.Some of the offtopic talks have gotten pretty far and it did get on some people's nerves. Obviously you can scroll - I do it - but they had a point. I get what Hanna's saying, not being comfortable with people knowing her personal details. There's people out there who love doing something with your personal e-mail, if they're not going to look you up, etc. IP: Logged |

I think we'll just have to get this thread more notice to see if others are interested. I don't think many people come by this part of the forum haha. Not nearly the amount in Lindaland Central 2.0 and Astrology 2.0.IP: Logged |

Yeah, I was accused of that, all because of who I am friends with. But there are a lot of good people on Facebook. You shouldn't avoid them on there, all because of that.

You can make some nice friends, so sure I communicate with LL people. I have talked to some on the phone, at least 2, maybe more. There are some great people here, so go forward. If some things turn badly, you have to learn from them and move on. If you don't reach out and try things, you will never learn, not that I do it enough but I know it is true  ------------------

LOL at all of the people just entering and leaving that chat room.  At least with this, people can see the history of the chat, so people can't say that you said something, if you didn't.IP: Logged |

I would agree that this would be really fun. I am just so paranoid about my privacy that I wouldn't want to use my personal fb or email.It would be cool if there was an option on this site to pm people. I understand why we don't since stuff that I have no idea about went down. Maybe like a weekly chat or something for the whole community. Or if enough people are interested, just do a chat app once in a while. Or maybe less restricted email exchange? Doux, do you have any particular ideas on this? IP: Logged |

Honestly I see nothing wrong with a private chat room, just like the link MsPrism posted.I don't have any other suggestions, because I don't have apps on my phone or anything like that, and I think I'm not the only one. But it seems that few people are aware of this idea. Perhaps it'd be more visible in LLC2. Actually, a weekly chat for the whole community sounds pretty nice. But restricting it to one day only may not be the best of ideas (we all have different schedules, and what if I want to talk more often than once a week? hah). That's all I got... IP: Logged |
