Chat Room Ideas
Date: Sun, 08/24/2008 - 19:28
I propose having chats on specific topics at different times during the week. Bearing in mind different timezones, I think that we as moderators should each take turns perhaps moderating each chat to make sure things don't go off the deep end, if you get my drift.
Some of the topics I thought about were:
Payday loans (can go a whole night on that!!)
debtors' anonymous--perhaps doing an online meeting?
credit--how to use responsibly?
budgeting tips
additional income ideas?
We also could have guest speakers, if Vikas and Jason are OK with that. Since we are facing an election of historic proportions, what about seeing if any candidates would come on to talk with us? We vote, right?
Being that I am also a kinda fun gal, I also want to have the room open for chats with friends--but I don't want anyone feeling uncomfortable there. So I propose that maybe we amend the TOS to talk about behavior in the chat room? We need to bear in mind that the goals of this site are to help people get out of debt, so if we can use the room towards this purpose, that would be great.
And finally, if we are OK with this, we need to PUBLICIZE these chats!!!!!!! WITH timezones!!!!
So what do you think?

Your suggestions are very pertinent. But first of all we need to see what is the rate of participation in the Community Chat room. Only then it will be fruitful for us to implement your ideas. But I must say, your ideas on chat room are really thought provoking.
If we see that there is considerable amount of participation by our members then we'll definitely give a though to implement your ideas.

I do agree with you on the fact that we should publisize Chat Room to make it more popular among the members so that its participation increases.
1. First of all I have planned to start a new thread on chat room in the Pub section.
2. Another thing we can do is: - Invite our friend members of our community to the chat-room and chat.
3. We can propagate the news of Chat-room reinstating in our site through a chain system among our friends in DebtCC community.
