Not everyone will be. The Game Day thread will still be available for those that can't or don't want to use the chat.
Quote:1. I don't like excluding anyone from being able to talk about the game in progress and could easily see it putting newbies off the boards. Especially fans of the other team here to talk smack/offer their opinions on the game.
It's not they we're trying to exclude anyone. By requiring a minimum post count, we eliminate the possibility of people signing up just to troll the chat, and also ensure that those who use the chat have contributed to the board with at least some posting.
Quote:2. As a Brit, I won't be staying up until 4am on a Tuesday morning to watch a preseason game and unless the chat box gets a full log posted there will be no way to read everyone's thoughts the next day.
I'm glad you brought this up. Once the live chat is closed at midnight, I will leave the box up thru Tuesday evening, so everyone has a chance to read thru the archives.
Quote:3. Last week, the chat box was doing weird things on my tablet where it repeated comments over and over instead of scrolling backwards properly. This made it impossible to see anything other than the last minute's comments.
I asked for feedback last week during the chat...and it seemed to be working well on iPhone and Android devices. We'll try to get a better feel for that this week and see if anyone is having issues...and if so, what types.
Quote:4. I don't have 25 posts anyway.
There's only one solution to that!
