L00N3R Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316052 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think a chat room would be nice - as long as there are moderators to take care of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldhound Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316056 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am wondering how it would not bog down if open to the general membership. This is a very busy forum. Now if it was open to Honorary members and higher, that may help.A fact of life online is that the problem children rise to the fore. It could work as a "culling project" perhaps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest garybear Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316090 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hi! I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box, and I'm new to the forum but; from what I have observed, the majority of topics deal with malware and nasties, and that's the way it should be. That's what Malwarebytes is for. I have no knowledge of how to deal with these things, and so I'm limited to where I can post. I have posted new topics where I think they should go. I haven't gotten much response, but maybe no one thinks they are very interesting. I think I have some thing to give to the forum, but really don't know where to post them. Maybe if the forum had a special place for off topics, more people could get involved and ideas could be exchanged. There would have to be rules of course, but we could pick each others brains. It could be a less formal place to gather and talk computer talk!! PS I know I'm to windy and I don't keep my posts short and to the point. I'll try yo do better!Garybear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fast talker, for sure.. Unfortunately, along with my slow typing I'm also a slow thinker. So therein lies the fly in the ointment.

DarkSnakeKobra Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316116 Share Posted September 20, 2010 For everyone who is not familiar with IRC: a chat channel isn't the same thing as a forum; its more about socializing and less about problem solving. Usually people who ask for help in a forum related IRC channel are referred to the appropriate cleaning guide, forum, and so on.It is just a personal preference; some like it, others don't. Basically an instant messenger where you can chat with multiple people in real-time without their email address, username or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest garybear Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316151 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ok! But it seems to get cluttered up with topics not related to computers. I haven't seen much interest there.If we had a place for just computer talk, was what I was suggesting. General chat covers a lot of territory. I would like a place just for computer talk. Just my thoughts. Thanks for your post HaiderHello garybear:General Chat is for this purpose! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest garybear Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316165 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hello ShyWriter. I'll check PC Help out. Thank you!! I posted this topic, but got no responses. I know you all know how important a back up of your OS is, but does every one. If you don't have back up, lots of luck when your drive dies. Sorry I'm off topic. Back on topic; just look at how much attention this topic created. People are hungry to talk about some thing besides Malware That's MHO! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaintree16 Posted September 20, 2010 ID:316180 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I posted this topic, but got no responses.Well, you've just posted your question today, so bear in mind that you're not always going to get a reply right away. There are lots of volunteers and staff members on the forum as well, so in all likelihood someone will be able to answer your question, although it could take some time.

Guest garybear Posted September 21, 2010 ID:316251 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hello! I understand what everyone is saying, and I agree that I did not have a question, and so no response was necessary. I guess I'm so dedicated to wanting people not only to be well protected while surfing the net, but also to be ready when some thing unexpected happens and a fast recovery is desired. I was trying to tie all this together but I have gotten off topic. I'm sorry and will get down off my stump. Back ups is my specialty. This is a Malware forum and I need to realize that! Thanks for all your responses. I understand, and I know I'm off topic , but felt the need to respond to those that took time to respond to me. Thank you!Garybear!

IDKWatMNShouldBe Posted September 21, 2010 Author ID:316609 Share Posted September 21, 2010 ok everyone, if they really do make a chat room and there seems to be alot of people in it, 2 or 3 mods cant always be there to watch the chat room the whole time. the other ranks should also have some control since they have been on the forum for a while now and are trusted. so if people do start being racist, swearing, and all those other things, theres always gonna be some trusted members of MBAM to get rid of them. And I don't think that it should be only a simple chat room, there should be different parts, to ask questions, random, and malware discussion.And the general chat thing already on the forum isn't really a "chat room"And the reason i get board is that some times it kinda gets boring how there isn't much members online, usually around 30? and it isn't real time talk, I don't wanna wait for 30 minutes or a couple of hours just for a reply on a simple question.And how come this topic got soo many replies so fast and still the MBAM staff didn't look at it?
