Use Of Chat room
 

I was just wondering why any of the members who post their thoughts, don't use the chat room that is available for real time discussions. It seemd to me that if other members were to come together in the chat room, we could exchange ideas and thoughts in real time and spark new ideas and have info more available by discussing it as a group, rather then posting our thoughts and having them read either hurs or even days later. Just a thought. Peace to all and hope your all having a pain free day. mellowguy.

Great idea Mellowguy! Count me in!

Chat room
 

I have tried this before, The thing is you have to set up a time or else no one will be there the same time. I would like to do it say one or 2 nites a week,...What do you think?

I think it's a geat idea. Now we need more people.

Chat sessions are a great idea, but may I suggest you set a day and time? For example.... Tuesday and/or Thursday at (say) 7pm Central Time!

That's just a suggestion! You might prefer 11am or 4pm on a different day!

A set time and a particular day of the week, would be the way to go because people tend to get bored with sitting in the chat room hoping for some-one to drop by, and they leave when no-one does.

If you have a set day and time you'd be more likely to get others prepared to join in as they'd know what time to check in.

Remember also that weekends and Friday evenings are traditionally quiet around the forums, as most people spend time with family and friends on these days.

Because NT encompasses every state in the USA and several other countries, the time factor is important, so if you do want members from all states and countries to join in....you might want to look at their time zones when setting your chat times.

Pick a time, and a day, and post them here in the forum.

Good luck.... I hope your chat sessions are very successful.

I think that is a great idea. I would love to chat with everyone in real time. Anytime in the evening works for me. =) I look forward chatting with everyone.

MellowGuy, I tried to set this up a couple months ago also. However the whole thing kind of did not work. Everyone is right you do have to set up a date and a time for everyone to meet there. Or you are just in there by yourself. I really hope that it does work this time! You can count me in also. Take Care-Breezy55 :grouphug: Please keep us updated to when this is going to start!

to all of you kind people who responded to my thought of getting together for a real time chat have given me some hope that this could work. As far as for me,,,,any night or day and anytime is fine with me. Being on ssi I don't have a lot of places to be. I understand that not everyone has a schedule like me so, I can work around anyone's time. To start, why don't we shoot for any weekday between the hours of 9:00 a.m untill 3:00 p.m EST. (I'm on the east coast) I understand that weekends are a tough time because of family issues, Most people work on weekdays or have children in school. At least this is a start. I hope you all have a pain free day and be safe.

thats fine for me. I hope we can get others to agree. have a safe and pain free day & night.

We could do most anytimes,
but on other boards,
I found Sunday evenings, to be the easiest.
Around late dinner time, say, 7.00-10.00 EST, and then take it from there.
But, I'm NOT running the show....
So,
just let me know when....
I'll do my best to be there!!!!

(I'd bet everyone else would too)!


PS

I notice that this forum slows down on weekends.
Are we football watchers on Sundays, or, do we stay by our spouses?
We could be spending time here, while they watch FB.
(I'm obviously not a Huge sports guy).

Like I said, whatever works out.....

Sometimes, you just gotta park yer tail in the "forum"
and wait!

Sounds good to me. My only life (besides the drama of teenagers!) is P.T. Name your time...look forward to it! Thanks for the great idea!

:idea: Seems that everyone is waiting for some-one to make a day and time, so......

What about Wednesday night..... 7pm Central time, until whenever?

chat room use
 

okie dokie..looks like Pete has it right. someone needs to start the time so,,here it is...I'll check in the room (lounge) at 11:00 a.m (est) and other times during the day. Hope you all are doing well today and are not in any pain. Be safe.

Unfortunately, I can't make it but I hope you have a wonderful time. Typing has become quite the challenge for me; it hurts to type. The quickness of chat is too demanding on my hands and arms and way too stressful for me. I have only chatted to 1 person for a very short time in the past year and although the chat session itself was pleasant and went well, I felt it in my arms and hands quite badly. So that's why I just don't bother anymore. It won't stop me from trying once in a while, though, I'm not a quitter, but right now --due to how the last chat session went-- it's out of the question.

Count me in ... Look forward to chatting with everyone!

Wednesday nites works good for me!

Great idea
 

PLease set day and time and I will be there. cz

Hoping for set hour inthe evening
 

Hi I was hoping it would be as suggested, Tuesdays and thursday at 7pm. and then perhaps it would be open til 9pm. I feel that broad a time , 9am to 3pm, will be hit and miss for everyone again. Also i think during the day is tough. I hope the evening hours will be considered or perhaps both could be available.? Thanks

yes, it really is best to set a finite time to meet

why not just have all interested post here when the best time for them is and then pick the time when most will be available

I think you will find evenings usually work best for most

I meant to add that we can also designate an open RSD room in chat if members would like that, or you are welcome to meet in the Lounge if preferred

Chat
 

I agree that an evening time would be better- some of us still work but would like to chat- I think any nite 7-10pm would be good

Thanks

Let's Chat
 

well,,,copying David Bowie's tune (sorta),Lets Chat..put on your red shoes.
Everyone has had some great imput on the idea. I respect all the suggestions.
I myself can't set a specific date and time due to the fact I never know how I will feel, physically. If some people can set times and days..that's great. I have to leave it as an open door policy where you just walk in at any time of day. But, that's me. As for an instance, I was in the Lounge in the afternoon just waiting to see who would pop in. Out of the blue, someone did. We had a great conversation and exchanged our thoughts on some remedies that work for each of us to help escape the pain. Just chatting in real time offered a feeling of relief, even for a short time. It was nice to have someone listen and respond quickly. I'm sure anyone who meets at their time and day will find the same comfort we did. I hope everyone can make this work. Do whats good for you without worrying if it can work or not. We can accomplish anything if we try. I'll be popping in at all times of day and time. Thankyou everyone for your thoughts. That was a great start.

mellowguy, I have merged the 3 threads you had related to chat to make it easier for members to keep up as it gets confusing to have it spread over 3 threads

often when one goes into chat and just waits a while, someone else from NeuroTalk may pop in

if other members would like to set a specific time for an RSD/CRPS specific chat time, just post it here so that all can see when to meet.

thank you for your reply and action. I'm sorry if I made it difficult for others to concentrate on the conversation. I'm new to this and did not realize that my actions caused problems for others. I had no intentions in anyway to cause a problem since everyone has more problems then they need.
Again, I apologize and will not repeat the mistake.

you didnt do anything wrong :)

having this one thread just makes it easier for everyone
