Hey all!! Welcome to S.A. Forums!!

[stelaras]

thanks Howie


its a great site full of information on local developments...Its a great stop over point for South Australians living interstate/overseas that want to check in and see how the city is changing! I find myself more informed on the latest building approvals and changes than my family and friends that live in Adelaide!!

keep up the great work

Ditto - I also find I know far more than ALL my friends and family in Adelaide - put together!! Top info and always well ahead of the actual happenings. They often find it annoying I am so far ahead in my info about 'their' city - but are still grateful gor the insights.


ADELAIDE - TOWARDS ARE GREATER CITY SKYLINE

I have a pationate love affair with this grandeous dame called Adelaide.

[ghs]

I have a suggestion.

How about setting up a Development Ideas section where people can put together
ideas on what would be good future developments for Adelaide.

For example I have an idea which involves further expanding the Zoo. I have put
this idea under the Adelaide Zoo thread in The Pub section.

I noticed other people have come up with development ideas and have posted them
in different sections of the site. E.g. One person came up with the idea of re-developing
Adelaide oval before Mike Rann announced his re-development plan.

If a Development Ideas section was created then all the idea would be in one place rather
than scattered throughout the site.

Post your ideas here:

How about this idea..... Setting up an interactive chat facility which people
can only access at a certain time.

E.g. We could make the time 9pm on Friday nights. People can log on chat
to each other about developments in Adelaide.

Restricting the facility to Friday night would ensure that people would
still use the forums in the regular way.

If the chat facility was available 24/7 then people might not use the forums so
much.

It would allow users to get to know each other better and could lead to more social
activities / meetings during the year.

Someone want to run a SA irc channel? I'm totally okay with it, but my previous experience with irc chat is that it generally isn't all that popular.

[ghs]

I am suggesting that there should be a chat facility on this website....

[Omicron]

Chat has occurred over drinks in the past.

[ghs]

Well if a chat facility was setup then people would know each
other better and there would be more social activities as a result

[Howie]

I am suggesting that there should be a chat facility on this website....

And i'm suggesting, that anyone here can set one up.. and we'll include a link to it. And the easiest way to do that is through Internet Relay Chat (IRC)... so whoever sets it up can moderate it.

[ghs]

I don't think a link to an irc channel would work that well... since
other people outside of this site would log in and possibly talk about
other things besides development in SA.

My proposal is to have a dedicated page on this site which has a chat
facility. The chat session would start on Friday 9.30 pm and finish at
midnight. Users could log on and chat about developments in Adelaide
which have occured during the week.

[Norman]

What's wrong with using the forum to do that?

[Howie]

Stickam perhaps? You can make private chat rooms on there. And you can also do voice/video/text.

Tinychat might be another simpler option.
