Think this has been discussed perhaps but I think a chat function would be beneficial to the RX

As in real time chat that's open to all members. Just a drop down function?

Why? I've seen it used before and it was very successful.

Let me guess, because guys won't post then? I say there'd be a good balance.

That would probably be the reason that I could come up with.

there are plenty of guys that I have talked to here by way of PM that have Never posted a single thing in years.
One guy has been a member here since 2004 and never made a post. He told me that all he does is read the forum and when he has a question, he just PM's the person.

Live chat would lower the Posts IMHO

I think it would lower post numbers considerably.

I would ask you then why does that matter? As in, if you have a function that may bring in a few more posters to engage with others, why does it matter if you have higher/lower post counts?

Viable reason! People will no longer post in forums or posts will be lessened because of the chat function. And fewer posts means less traffic.

Why would traffic lessen because of having a chat function? Traffic may go up.

honestly, i think YOU are right,, i remember that streaming chat was the SHITTTTT,, i learned more in that year before they deleted it, than,, geesh, ever,, it catapulted me into value search and vig reduction,,, blah blah,,,

but hey,,, any suggestion we make will be told it wont work,, or its ineffecient,,,

noone will do shit,,, noone wants to change anything,,, noone wants to invest a penny,,
i get it,, just a shame,,

lol,, ^^^^

look,, you guys want to get real,,, the RX is great,,, everyone finds a home for 1 reason or another,,, i will NEVER post over at Cov***. because their posting site is bonkers,, but the fact is,, that is is the best site (overall) for sports value/information,, personally i think S** is 2nd best for value,, and ours is 3rd,,,, and all others are barely mentions,,

it was mentioned in here a few days ago that just this week,, the NHL,, joined a collusion/fraud monitering site? NBA, NFL and MLB had already joined it this year,,, something is coming,,, and all the pro sites are preparing for it,,

all the sites except for the RX,,, who i love,,, but will do nothing,,, and will coast into 3rd place to take the BRONZE,, i love you RX,,, but dam,,, I wish you cared as much as the posters did,,

Imma come up in your place of business and install a Discount Hair Care products section, sell Shampoo, Conditioner & Hot Oil Treatment at Bargain Basement Prices, put it right in the center of your space there so that its, like, right in the middle. I see an island-like set-up here, massive disruption complete destruction of Your Business Model the goal, don't care about making money on the shampoo etc even I am willing to take a loss on that cuz a few people said that they want, need cheap shampoo.

You down? I can have the Demo Guys over Saturday. Of Course this is a good idea.

that is completely IDIOTIC dog,, your example is only centered around the live chatroom,,, both of my bigger messages to the RX over the last several months was to INCREASE VALUE to the consumer before its too late, look at my latest post,, just above #14 is more to the point,, again the live chat option that enfuego wants was just an idea,,,

1 of many ideas that (as mentioned above) will be discarded, and nothing will be done,, because noone wants to invest the money here,,

I want this site to thrive,,, i dont want it to fade away,, but the site needs to add value, similar to that of S** and C*****. yuou cannot disagree,, ive suggested this several times,,



I dont sell any products by the way, only my color techniques,, my art,, and that cant be duplicated,, lol

Yeah, it was fairly Idiotic, it needed to be to draw comparison you could easily relate to of Having a Business Model that would become totally derailed by an add-on. RX has been this from the start and in the opinion of many the simplicity, true-to-itself Oldskool if you will groove of that forum setup is appealing.

I don't disagree though that Brainstorming ways to get as well-positioned as possible for the coming Storm that will be legalization of gambling within USA would be a great thing for RX to do, maybe some form of "chat" is a viable consideration just I am not far-sighted enough to see that.

I think such discussions are good though, ideas cuz RX being the Original & First Sports Discussion Forum it'd be a criminal shame if our place at The Table was not at the HEAD of that table.....come the Levee Breaking. You know entities are gonna pop-up and try to OWN the Sports Discussion posting site whatever space.

"I dont sell any products by the way, only my color techniques,, my art,, and that cant be duplicated,, lol"

THAT, I LOVE.

Same as RX's Philosophy, "possibly"....you carved a space to exist as you see it should best exist. I seriously can't recall being in a Salon ever that did not have some Retail Space hawking high-end shampoo.

Your Deal is seriously On-Point. Artistic-wise, staying true to the demands of The Muse. Seriously Impressive.
