Someone contacted me about adding new chat rooms and I think it's a great idea. I don't pop in very often, but when I do, I can see it may be a bit confusing, particularly for new visitors when there are a lot of folks chatting. We don't want to scare anyone off and I'd like to make chat as user friendly as possible. We probably don't need too many more rooms (one or two?); otherwise it may create even more confusion. And there's that door slamming thang when people leave...
Would it make sense to have a "test" room for newbies to get comfortable as they explore FlashChat? Or rooms for specific topics (e.g meds, MWO program, non-MWO topics)? If so, what should we call them? I think a good room descriptor will go a long way in helping make sense of the experience.
Also, perhaps a "Frequently Asked Questions" section would be helpful. I'd be happy to write something up if you can let me know what areas you feel are most important for those just starting out.
Thanks in advance for any input. Your help, as always, is invaluable.
