Who's up for instant messaging?

*raises hand*

Me!!

I think it would really clear up the forum. Look at all the threads about people just wanting to say hello or ask a question to 1 person!

I would be a happy trooper if all those threads you mentioned would disappear, so I think it's a good idea

I prefer instant massaging though

What would be cool, if possible, would be to put like Instant Messaging icons near the screennames--whether for AOL or MSN or both--that highlight when the aforementioned individuals are actually in the forum posting.

I think it would a really cool idea.

Good Idea

Maybe there could be an option where people can choose whether or not they're available to IM.

Cool idea, Dr Teeth!

Ahhh...

Since there are all sorts of IM programs/networks... I think IMs dont entirely meet the demand of 'chat' threads. This is why I originally created 'U2 Chat' (linked to from the top right of every forum page), it's simple, universal, works for everyone, and has private messaging.
