We need a real elite chat room

[Sailor_Girl]

Poink and I decided that we need an official elite chatroom on elitefitness.com rather than this msn crap that you have to scroll through the pages to look for the link and shit. Something that's easy access and only member can get into. Would this be costly to George? If not.....Go for it George.

Will it cost? Yes.

Will it be costly? Most likely.

Given the current costs of running EF night and day, I don't think spending another couple of grand for a hosted chat room would be the first thing on George's list.

There has to be another way.

Question: How will you stop the source posting and all that crap ? Did you ever go on IRC ? See how crazy it is.....

Could it come out of elite memberships? Or are not enough people signing up for that?

PS: Sailor_Girl, what a hot icon! Is that you? Yowsa! So what's the sailor for? Anime, or navy?

Having a chatroom would not be costly at all. If george ran an IRCD server and had a cool java applet that matches the scheme he has going on for elite, he could do it quite cheaply. He could run an IRCD server on the same machine he is running the web server on. It's not like he is going to be a hub for many other servers, just one.

I am looking into it. It would be a Platinum feature otherwise it would get way too costly.

I still think it'd be a good idea. It'd be a good draw for Platinum memberships and it would make the existing Platinum members feel like they're getting more for their money. Definitely worth checking out IMO.
