Picture the scene, a frenzy of keyboard clicks communicating for an interesting bunch of like minded fellows and lasses from differant time zones. Cameraderie at its best some flitted in and out, others stayed and chatted about all sorts from personal experiences, life styles, work and play, humour, you get the picture.
Trouble is as this links with the thread 'I'm in the Chat room', its hit and miss as we cannot have our OCB chat link displaying who happens to have drifted in there, or displaying a viewing number as we get on Basecamp for example? so what can be done?
Option is perhaps to set aside a ?day or 2 a week and a time now last night we had family from Canada, USA and us Brits it was late for us earlier for you guys appolgies if other Europeans have been left out Holland, France but they are a similar time to us on GMT.
When I chatted to Slith in Canada he was 5 hours behind me, Lucid US 6 hours behind, so going on that premise if we tried to meet up every Wednesday evening and Saturday evening to touch base and have a virtual beer at 11 pm for us Brits/Euros, 5pm for the US and 6 pm for the Canadians, but then we have multiple zones to consider so is this feasible? Cos its good to talk realtime!
This is but a suggestion could be once a week or later earlier time, but it really is worth the effort to meet other OCB~ers, any thoughts or am I concockting up a pipedream?? Thank you all for a good natter last night by the way and lookin forward to the next one!
