Alex,
I can totally understand that you are afraid of an off-topic section here in the OCC board and your arguments are fine with me. So my question rather points in a direction Wetmac was going with his posting. How would you feel about a chatroom in which the OCC people could meet themselves? Because I for sure would like to chat with some of the fellow posters here. It could even be separated from the forum or the sites if somebody would create a room on one of the
mirc-servers for example. At least I hope someone knows how to do that. I only know how to join and chat with this program.
Like I said I really understand your concerns but I also think that this could strengthen the community feeling which makes this place so great. See, I'm only looking for a possible solution here and would be curious what you think about this idea. Doesn't matter if the answer would be negative. In the end this is your baby here and I respect every decission you will make.
Thanks for reading,
Bernie
