I thought that there was an desire by people to chat and that is what the Exploroz
forum had attracted. I have set up a Yahoo Group called Recreation4wd and you can join it and on the left there is a chat option.
I am the only member at the moment and I am sitting there talking to myself.. hahaha
Don't expect anything serious but just a chat..

I don't know about anyone else but i'll be here for long time yet, reguardless of how many other chats forums and so on are on the web, i found this site to be the most informative, fun and social site on the web. I did not know much about puters let alone forums and chat sites and found this very easy to use, in fact after joining as a visitor that was when i found out about other forums, so i tried them and well that was when i decided to join EO as a member, i am still a member of these other forums and go to them now and then but none of them come even close to EO. This is just my opinion not intended to offend members of other forums.

After using the chat thing last night I am not sure I like it
three reasons:
1) you need to be able to type really quick
2) especially if there are a few chatters the conversation gets very hard to follow
3) You have to be there at the time
EO's system provides a permanent record of converstaions that can be browsed and searched at any time. you can be away for a week and then come back and catch up.
Chat has it's place if two or members want to discuss something or dribble at each other but I must say I prefer the EO format and will be sticking with it.
Thanks Andrew for opening the eyes on how chat works. always knew it was there but never actually had a go at it. Interesting!
Come back Wolfie - we all love you!!!!!

It's been a pretty ordinary 24 hours.
Insults, precocious behaviour, slander and censorship.
It's very sad that Wolfie's gone. But I won't be. I'll continue to enjoy the company and exchange of information. Might even try to have some fun, if permitted.

i dont think any of you people get the idea behind what andrew did.
david and michelle dont like the private chats that commonly happen through a post.fair enough.
all andrew is doing is giving people a chance to talk amongst themselves with out having a post that starts of about the roads to timbucktwo and then half way through the post you will find 2-3 peopple just chatting between themselves about nothing to do with the original post.
andrews chat room is not going to stop people asking questions or responding on exploroz nothing will.
so if you wanna talk a little crap go to the chat room saves all the banter on the
forum wich i think is the main problem.
stick with it andrew.

Thanks for sticking up for my man!! He only did what he thought may help the situation.......obviously there a few who don't agree. I think you are spot on with what you are saying.
