[VFB] Chat Volunteers

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Byard, & The List,

About a week ago, you, me and several others were in the chat room discussing how to get more members to man the "chat sessions". Several ideas were kicked around, but nothing ever came of it.

I have a suggestion. Instead of asking members to host a 2 hour session, why not ask them to host a 1 hour session. Two hours is a long time to tie yourself up when you have family, flies that need tying and other stuff to do. I'm sure that several of us would volunteer to host a 1 hour session. I'll be glad to do that, and will begin by hosting from 10-11 p.m CST tomorrow night.

As you know, once a session starts, people come and go. The chat can continue even though the 1 hour host has to depart. The host can simply say, "guys, I need to get some stuff done", or he/she can stay on if they're not going to be busy.

I remember a couple of times when I was hosting the late, late 2 hour session, that most people had left way before the ending time, but I hung around because I was the host and didn't want an empty chat room to show during my time slot.

Just a suggestion.

JIMMY
