Is there any bamboo websites that have chat rooms that a bunch of bambooholics could talk about bamboo in?

I thought this was it. But I must admit it is not as lively as it could be. Let me know if youy find another one.

there is a big difference between a chat room and a discussion forum.

I dont think there are any bamboo forums out there that are "active". the only other ones I know of, Gardenweb and bamboocraft, are both essentially dead.

There is a chat mod for the new forum software. An example is at: http://startrekguide.com/community/chat.php

One thing about chat posts is that they do not last so you can really only communicate with someone that is logged in at the same time.

Chats also almost always wander away from the point of the topic, and are pretty boring unless you have a buch of people online at the same time.

The reason i asked is on beesource ( a beekeeping forum website that i am on) has a chat room link and there are usually around 7 people on it every night.

I think you should definatley look into adding one to this site bambooweb. It would be a great addition to talk about bamboo and to get to know the members on here a little better.

Here is the one that i like on beesource:
http://www.beesource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208464 and when you click on this it goes to this:
http://www.beesource.com/bee-l/beesourcechat.htm

The only thing is you have to make a new account and password to be able to log in to this chat room, which everyone on this website just uses there same account as on the forum, it helps people to know who you are on both sites like if my name is jordanM on this site and i change it to timS in the chat forum people would not know who i am.

Sorry im just rambling on, but i ould look into it bambooweb.
