Answer the poll question "Should we get a chat on superiorinvestor.net""
fireopal said: "crash - b/f i answer > do you know if the chat on the other forum is just for members or does it pull in others that may register just to use the chat board, and what do you think the value would be?"
Grifter said: "A chat would be a great idea, I think the chat should be limited to people with atleast 10 posts just so we dont get that many spammers and pumpers."
TheCreator said: "yeah i like this option on the other boards i visit."
Harry said: "I voted no basically because I like to talk fundmentals...I like details.
What advantage could a chat room that this forum couldn't in regards things like sudden price drops to look at???"
crashtheline said: "Fire -> the chat room in my opinion would add an instant communication service for investors. Boards are slow to report on things and when you want to get advice quickly a chat is awesome.
Grifter -> Great idea on limiting the posts. The other boards don't do this but from what i have seen there is 0 spamming, it's too much effort.
Harry -> you can talk about anything stock related in the chat. You could talk about fundamentals with people in the room and discuss stocks that are just sterting to run or looking to fall.
Thanks guys for your votes keep em coming."

Yeah but it's live and limited. A good tip to research can sneek by you in a chatroom forum. On a bulletin board it's "right there".
A bulletin board can act like a chatroom in regards to topic and flow of information, but a chatroom can not act like a bulletin board. You can't pause your attention...you can't search a stock or buzzword like oil.
I bit on a tip here for CWPC. I've done well with it...I appreciate it. I would never have known it existed in a chatroom."
crashtheline said: "HEHE the tip of CWPC.OB was from me...so your welcome. Next tip: Chat room. lol.
Anyone interested in what it would be like can check out marketmillionaire.com or hotstockmarket.com Chatrooms. Most active tiis during trading our. Afterhours is more general talk and advice.
One thing they do at market millionaire is trading school classes on the chat room at a certain time on the weekend. I'm sure we have smart enough people here to do the same."
crashtheline said: "80% say yes and 0% say no."
fireopal said: "crash - how did you do that poll thing b/c maybe i should do one for a school section?"
chahinemm said: "chat would be an unecessary feature at this point in time for the simple reason that we dont have a large enough community member and has limited flow during the trading times averaging at around 20 to 30 people and taking an average of 10% chatting would be 2 to 3 people chatting at a time therefore would not be worth wasting bandwidth on it. Also as mentioned before its preferable to discuss this way as ideas are concrete and can be brought back on the table if necessary and can be also a log for people who are new to superiorinvestor and they can learn from past conversations.
However the final decision on this issue will be dealt by Ben and will be a full concensus by all moderators/enforcers.
