    Per the "Check If Already Posted" button, Yankee6 appears to have been the most recent person to make this suggestion. However, it didn't seem to go anywhere, and that was 4 years ago. Perhaps opinions have changed.

    I'd love a chat room during games. The problem with game threads is that you must:
    • Go through a laborious posting process for the short comments which dominate on game day ("4th down!").
    • Manually refresh.
    • Manually scroll. It's not surprising to see only 2 comments at a time on the screen.

    A chat room wouldn't have these problems. And I suspect that a Java one, for example, would be relatively simple and cheap to add.

    Cheers,

    PS - For those who wonder why one might want to be online during a game, the answer is for the community; especially for those who live outside NY. To some extent, the phenomenon is generational.

    Thanks for replying, Petrozza.

    If you've got the time, could you explain why? (Or point to a previous post which does so.) My professional curiosity - videogames, Silicon Valley - is piqued. Implementation & maintenance costs seem relatively modest. And Gang Green posters seem less archaic than the fellow who'd wondered how anybody would actually want to be online at all during a game.

    I'm curious where I'm wrong.

    Cheers,
