There have been times when I've been sitting here, clicking the refresh button, waiting on a reply from someone or waiting for the next post in a thread.
So that got me thinking about the possibility of an SBG Chat. I'm not familiar with the services that Proboards offers, but does anyone know if proboards could handle something like that?
And if not, are there any other web based chat clients that we could use? (Web based as in no need to download a program like AIM or MSN IM)
I'll go do some googling real quick before I have to run, and if I find anything, I'll edit it back in.

The only web based chat I know of is Meebo.com, which allows you to sign into their messenger (you just have to register an account like any messenger) and you can use your YIM, AIM, Facebook, or WLM and the account with Meebo will allow you to sign into all of them simultaneously and keep track of them all on one page.

I've actually done that myself. I know websites that have an on-forum chat, like iknife collector for instance. I don't like the fact that I refresh the page for a reply, and the numbers of views goes up (Should count unique views, IMO). Having an on-forum chat would be pretty convenient.

Oooh, sounds like a good idea! Although... I really doubt proboards has that sort of thing. I agree on the # of views thing too. It's like... a trap!

I'd consider setting something up for us if folks would actually use it. I'll poke around and see what's available and see about getting something going. Let's see how many people would be interested in it. I'll make a Poll and see how many folks would be.

You could create an IRC.

I suggested IRC last time. I already idle in a few channels as it is, but it seems IRC was even less popular than Twitter.
