    Think about it, we can all discuss our needs without ever overspamming a thread, there would have to be admins though, so that's where Zincous, etc. comes in and swoops teh spammers away!

    You see what I mean?

    I think a chat room would be fun.

    I think it's fine the way it is, a forum built upon (for the most part) great posts. That kinda falls apart when "lolz" can be sent easily again and again. Besides, who'd visit the actual forum?

    It'd be a cool idea..would probably get outta hand fairly quick.

    With a decent amount of chat-moderators there, it would be helpful for everyone.

    Thanks Mr Crazy, but I don't think everyone has a twitter or a facebook xP... A group would be nice too, and at times, yes it will get out of hand, but if we could just have different chat rooms and some admins, i think this would be a great idea.

    You don't need to sign into twitter or facebook to use it. The group could be used to schedule a time to use tinychat.

    I don't know why do people suggest sites like Tinychat. In my opinion, it's much faster to create a chatroom on some bigger IRC network, which you can reach from your iDevice too.

    I would guess most people here do not use IRC. You need an IRC client.

    There are web-based IRC clients like Mibbit, which aren't harder to use than, let's say Tinychat.

    Umm, yes, I was talking about that. Why did you link it?

    To see if people would rather use it.

    I think, that selecting a server and a chatroom at the start isn't a big sacrifice for a chat that people can reach from everywhere and is much easier to moderate.
