I think head-fi should have one! Often times i want to ask questions and get an immediate response or give responses to people right when they ask to save them time. I think it woudl be cool or even just an irc channel.


PS: If there is already one i'm sorry ahha. I looked around the site and couldn't find one.

There's no longer an official one I believe, but there are a few fan-made channels. Apparently there was too much uh... foul-mouthiness.

Don't know, you can do a search in the lounge. Not sure if they're still active or not.

darn, why did they remove an official one? They could just add an on-site irc applet to make things easier.

That could create a lot of load and traffic to the server. I have seen forum went down because too many posts were made too fast on that kind of on-site channel.

Hmm i didn't think about that, but wouldn't it be the same even if it wasn't an applet and the irc server was still the same server as the web site?

It seemed headphone fanatics weren't exactly the best conversationalists.

It's easier to maintain order in the forums. Although this spesific subforum is an exception to the rule.

Not a good idea. I participate in other headphone chat rooms and all it takes is more than 5-6 people in one room, with one idiot in the mix, and it's garbage. Add 10+ folks, even with no idiots, and it's still chaos, with multiple conversations and mucho nonsense. With the membership numbers on this site, I could only predict a waste of time.

*sigh* just thought it would be a faster way to get in and get out with answers and buy/sell inquiries. Oh well.

I have read many of your (recent) posts and my signature seems to apply to you. Your comments may be right, insightful, and even useful, but they are no phun.

I am with 'boomana'.
This forum have 73,500 members. Even if just a small percentage of the members became active in the chat room it will be a crowded place. With multiple ongoing discussions, leading to a mess.

In my opinion we are much better off using the forum, with its dedicated sub-forums and threads.
