The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Ali has that competition as to how to improve the site... here's the answer. I have just found that me and fantasymeister are both online now, and are putting posts ontop of each other. However, we cannot comunicate directly. We can't even exchange email addresses or MSN messanger screen names, in case other people on the site read the message we post it under. So how about a very simple posting system whereby u can post notes to other people. This would work by having a topic for each person. The anyone can write a message and post it in this topic, but only the owner of the topic could read it. Therefore, we already have the technology to get this idea up and running, it just needs to be set up.

This site can;t be a chat room otherwise it would be less secured like this one.
Much like a mail server then...?
Humm. It could work. Basically, it's just private topics.
But would we use it?

It's not a chat program! You simply have a new board called "members". Each member has a topic. You can write a message into any topic, but only read messages in your own topic. It's a simple read-write tweak needed, and a new board has to be set up. The latter of these is easy enough, and I'm sure the write/read options can be set up?

That's not a 'little' tweak though. Chatroom software doesn't come cheap. And anyway, I deleted MSN Chat 3.5 the other day as it was causing too many conflicts with my other software and crashing my browser every 5 minutes. It doesn't work very well with Setiathome software either. So now I use retro speak.
