I just thought that a chatroom buried amongst all the Avsim forums would be awesome :)We could all blah blah blah on our days off and talk FS9 till we fall over Do you all think its a good idea?

What an Idea, very original... ;-)Here you go:http://www.avsim.com/irc/Don't worry, there are things I discover around here I didn't know existed before too.Regards,JoeGrab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

Oh Im sorry I should have been clearer! I meant a "shoutbox" like on the iFDG forum:http://www.ifdg.net/forum/index.php?act=idxThats what I meant by buried hee hee :)

Well, that's a function of their forum software over there.And I don't think Avsim is interested in changing something that works as well as this place does. :-)Grab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

---------------------------------------------------------------I don't think Avsim is interested in changing something that works as well as this place does---------------------------------------------------------------Thats very true I have to say! :)I still havent figured out the IRC stuff lol, I need to get on it. Have you guys used it often? Are there lots of Avsimmers online chatting away?:)

The vast majority is sadly like you, and "still haven't figured it out" or are waiting untl "lots of people chat away" with the result that it's often rather quiet.Of the people that do show up, sadly a number only seem to want to ruin the place for the rest of us by swearing and otherwise misbehaving.But overall it's a nice and friendly place to hang out.

There used to be a couple of Flight Sim chatrooms on Yahoo, but Yahoo just pulled the plug on all their chatrooms because of pedophiles using them to troll for kids.Richard

Actually that is incorrect.They closed user created chat rooms. Chat Rooms created by Yahoo themselves still work, so it wasn't all Yahoo Chat Rooms.Grab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]
