Yea, I know that's a good suggestion and even I was about to post this suggestion here. But then I thought, if we had that Chat area here, especially now when the forum is very new and hardly has enough posts, it would do more harm than good to the development of the forum. Because, everyone would be just spending more of their time in that chat section and few would take trouble posting good topics or answers.
No doubt, a chat area would be a very good option once the forum has picked up and has made its presence felt among the environmental communities over the internet. Now this was my thought about the chat area not being here right now. No idea what plans do envirocitizen admins and mods are having in store for us.
Later we can also an [B]Off Topic section[/B]. Let's hope for the best and the greenest.
