This would be great!
|

|
| Hello,
This has probaly been talked about before but is there anyway we could get a live chat going on here. That would be pretty neat.

| Yeah, perhaps an irc channel (dalnet or efnet) devoted to CCNA, where we could chat in real time about pressing issues that come about when we are studying. I like the idea myself. What's everyone else' take on this? | |
|
| I am all for it. I would very much like that because this way you get all your answers right away. No more waits. | |
|
| BTW, if something new comes about, it should in no way replace examnotes, because of all the forums I go to, examnotes is the most respected, and hence the best forum around. | |
|
| It would be cool if examnotes.com could intergrate some type of little java pop-up box that you could chat in. Examnotes is awesome I will probaly be around here for a couple of years cause I am just starting out.

| That would decrease the amount of undue chatter that we clobber this forum with. I agree, a chat room would benefit this forum.

|
| I agree. That is a great idea. Chat lines do that all the time. In the meantime, there is nothing stopping anyone from using ICQ for private chats.

| umm.. i disagree!!!!!!!!!!!!
kiddin',
to me this forum is sort of like a chat room, these few days, i get my questions answered fast, and simple. fast as in couple minutes. I agree, the chat room can't replace this forum/posting method. We don't all have the same time, and i visit the forum at night, that's probably 3 or 4 am in the middle of the night for you guys. But Vote yes to IRC/Cisco/chatroom! | |
|
| Sorry to be a stickler on this one, but I'm not sure I agree. This forum is great as it is: from what I've seen, kicks butt over many forums on examnotes.net. Maybe an IRC like chat page would work, but there actually IS an IRC chat page for Cisco on efnet (I think) called: #ciscohelp. I checked it out, and it didn't look particularly crash, although I can't say I stayed for too long, so maybe I'm being judgmental. I'm not saying a chat page would necessarily be a bad thing, but I think you have to take precautions. How goes the saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Just thought I'd express my concerns.
Cheers,

| No use..for us poor souls living in asia..I live in a different time zone...so whenever i come alive,you guys are all dead (exept maybe deets!!!!) | |
|
| Good Point Deets. BTW, good luck in your job hunt. We are all silently rooting for you. You are a very smart person....someone to look up to. Keep your head up  | |
|
| The proposed chat room will draw people away from this room. | |
|
| To Confewshz: Thanks for your support  It's nice to know people are thinking of me!! Tell you, I'm really walking a tightrope here, but I aren't the sort of person to give in easily.
Cheers,

| I don't want the ccna forum to go way. I think it would be nice to have an option for a little java chat box. You can only access if you are in the ccna forum. That way no one loses. | |
|
| I agree that the forum is great as it is.
If there is a chat room then people would favor asking questions in the chat room instead of in the forum, which would in effect kill the forum.
What's great about the forum is that people can post here at their convenience and check up the next morning and all the replies and discusssion is still there. This is lost in real-time chat.

| I'd like to change my voting for a chat from yes to a definite no.
The reasons are as mentioned by a few others.
1) people are in completely different times zones. Trying to contact one person in particular can be very difficult.
2) When posting a question, the majority of times you get multiple responses back. If you do this through a chat line, chances are that the amount of responses back will be greatly reduced, or limited to that one person.
3) This forum is different from any that I have ever seen. There is a definite "comradery" amongst everyone. Although you do sometimes get people who are p**** off, the amount of flaming here is almost non-existant.
4) If someone wants to definitely have a real-time chat, there is ICQ where they can go to have a private chat. But this is an open forum, and they would be missing out on the input from other people. Isn't this what the forum was intended for?
5) As I mentioned previously, this forum is the best that I have ever seen. As Deets said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
That is my 4 cents (two from before and two now).
Tks

| I also change my vote to a "no", simply because I use this forum while studying. For example, if I am studying broadcast domains I will come into this forum and search for broadcast domains and see what type of problems people are having with broadcast domains, to familiarize myself with the hot spots. Then I read again on the subject to get a more in depth understanding of whats going on. The reasons that I do this, is because I am new to networking and Cisco products, so I do not know how to distinguish the important things to learn....what details to know, etc. I hope this works for me. Ill let ya know if it does, after I take the CCNA test for the first time in the next month or so. Cheers everyone.
