Well, the good news is that it's real soon. We have finally chosen a chat platform that's friendly to Macs and to all the current browsers of any type, something that was actually hard to do. We looked and loaded over a dozen of them. We'll probably start on a small beta test within a week and launch shortly after that. Our plans are to have available 24/7 a few chat rooms for use, such as TheBuzz and Omni. The hope here is that some of the idle posts that occasion FlyerTalk are here, so as to keep the overall quality of FT on the high end. Also, on a monthly basis, we'll have two live chat sessions where I will host them. We will give away miles to those that attend these chats. We'll do two on the same night so that we can catch both coasts at a reasonal hour. In addition, we will have a private chat area for those that have acheived "member" status. We certainly are looking for ideas that work for the community, but this is what we have planned for now......get ready.
