Why do we call this place "chat"?

[qibla]

when it a forum and people come on later to post.
Why dont we have a real chat place like a social chat for xara .. that way some of the small nigglies can be sorted immediately rather than waiting.
Time is becoming real money for designers and xara is wonderful and light for everything.
Thanks

For the most part it works well as it is.

I think the responses here are quite fast and wouldn't be better via chat.

I already waste enough time on forums without also taking part in real-time chat sessions.

Others may think differently.

There are no paid persons in this forum. Everybody, including the moderators, come here to help on a volunteer basis.

So if you opted for chat, it might be some time before a member or volunteer responded to your question and by the time someone did, you would be long gone.

It works the way it works which as Paul points out is usually pretty good.

Talk Graphics members cover the globe, so often the person who can answer your question is asleep while you are awake and vice versa.
