Hey all I have no idea how to contact members of staff here and I would think it would be a good idea to have a IRC network within which this community can talk instantly and live, personally it would be good to get to no the staff here and its members what do you guys think ?

It's been discussed before. Never going to happen, sorry

Words on pages get traffic from search engine, the life blood of any website.

Chat stops people posting, seen it on so many boards.

O right I understand hybrid, how come there is no send a message option like site wise, btw i donated and my status has not changed.

You need to donate the amount shown on the donate page to get account upgraded, then use the contact us form to tell us. It's all in the instructions.

You can send both Private Messages (PM's) and public messages, depending on the particular users settings, ie. you can disable other members from being able to PM you.

However if you click on my name or Hybr!d's name for example, you will be taken to our respective profile and can post either a public message on the visitor board there, or a private message.

I've also seen chat boards nearly tear a few very good forums apart so I've always been against them. We can moderate the forums but chat rooms can spin out of control faster than you can manage them.

'New Member Group' cannot send PMs because of spammers.

Ah sorry, didn't realise that.

He's Donor Group now anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem?

Or do you keep the "New" attribute even when you donate?

He's ok now. Donor bypasses it yes.
