How can we get this place active again?

Bit of a random thought but it seems like certain sub-forums have atleast 10-15 regularish posters that know eachother maybe a way to keep the forum alive could be a kind of live chat widget you can opt to join and chat at a quicker speed just for when bored.
I've seen similar mini chat things on other forums of different topics but I don't know if the illegality/drug nature of this forum would stop that from ever working as anyone could just spam info against the sites rules. Just an idea as chatting to people via posting every time can be annoying if you want to just have a small proper chat on here with someone.

not a bad idea, wud need mod i think with it being a drug forum chat , im not sure though, BLUA guidelines and all that ;)
 
I haven't been active on BL easily for over a month now, I've let you all down.
 
Without naming other sites when threads are overloaded people could suggest taking it to a group chat website idk with say 2 or 3 people just to talk about random shit at a quicker pace. Or would linking people on forum posts to an external chat room site be against forum rules? Just feel like you can't properly chat with people on here with the forum format of posting/knowing when people reply.
 
Hey guys, I'm one of those lurkers that has finally decided to join! Love this place and looking forward to chatting to you all.
Yay, we got a new one! Grab a cuppa and dive right in.. it might take a while to find your feet but it'll be worth it. Plus you can actually punctuate, which is always a plus point. :)

I'd definitely be up for that as it's a lot easier to get to know people in chat situations than in slower forum stylee, though I guess the problem from BL's point of view is that it could well end up being full of sellers/scammers/police/etc and no-one would want to moderate it in real-time.
 
Think the only way is by being on an external chat-room style site, maybe if at a busy time there are a few people posting regularly we could all join a room. Gives me someone to ramble to when I'm buzzing my nut off alone sometimes too haha!
 
A forum i used for a while before this one did that, a bunch of the regulars would say 'see you in XYZ Chat room in a minute'. Way to completely alieanate and ostracise the newbies, and make things feel even more cliquey, if only a small handfull of close knit friends do that. Of course there is nothing to stop anyone doing this, but it would make EADD less active by taking traffic away, or am i missing something :?

Sometimes the gibberings conversations flow in real time, other times you have to wait 2 days for a reply, if you get one at all.
 
There did used to be a room hosted on tinychat somewhere, it was stressed that it wasnt affiliated with BL/EADD for reasons mentioned above. It didnt get used a great deal to be honest and there was a bit of a problem with people impersonating other users.

I sat up chatting to knock on there for 6 hours absolutely off my dial on meph while he was podgering dissociatives once (no webcam) :sus:
 
haha yeah I know of tinychat but that opens up more possibilities of spam and yeah people would all show their drugs which wouldn't be good. A site with just chat would probably be better and the room URL was just given out during a thread conversation when a lot of people are about.
 
Why not an IRC channel? I doubt it would get the site more active but it would keep the core users together, at least those who join the irc.
Wasn't there a BL channel before already?
 
Moving off the site will make the forum worse and harder for new users to participate or start chatting.
 
Thus why they should introduce a built in site chat widget! Hint Hint admins?;)
I see a lot of forums with things similar it can't be too hard, I think you can have admins monitoring those kind of chat boxes too for spam and people breaking rules.
 
Then it would get people away from threads, we need more fat threads :)
 
Chat room = popularity of site = greater quality & quantity posting pool for the forum ?

Sorry for any IT ignorance.
 
Pros and Cons to a chat room, I just thought sometimes you feel limited on here when you want to talk to people in more detail, refreshing threads and forum pages is a lot more hassle than simply joining a room, would be even better if the chatroom was divided up like a chat room just for EADD e.g.
 
Also any advice is lost in a chat room - if its down in a thead somebody with a similar problem can find some help?
 
I see your point Bearlove.

Nevertheless, it is also true that time may be lost searching threads for help in an emergency situation?
