beepinpete_WA Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi AzIts more about a live asap chat sesion mate, unlike waiting for members to return their thoughts hrs later as most could beon differant time zones.I dig what your sayin man, but imagine if we could coverse in a box with no delay Also on a given night like a friday night it sorta works out like a Prospectors Bar, that we can can have a beer together and share areasand settings, gear etc and have a good laugh between us blokes.

AZNuggetBob Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 PeteThanks for the invitation, If you ever make it over here to the U.S. I will take you out and show you some great gold spots.But I should tell you that we have a little known law here that says visitors can take no more than12 oz's of gold home with them, the rest must go to the guide. and while your here If we cant find any goldI'll also take you out show you some of our wildlife.most are not hard to look at and some of them have even had their shots.

Grubstake1 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I respect all on the forums, but have been bashed a few times by people who are no longer able to post. But I'm still here. opions are good, and everyone has a different one, but it doe's get out of hand. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Pete, you and I have had some fantastic chats on another website.I think it would be a lot of fun, but the site we talked on was a lot less contentious than the ones here in the states. We will all just have to mind our manners a bit.I love the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted August 10, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hello Guys, I can easily add a chat room to this forum. That being said, I have visited other Invision Board forums over the years and most of the chat rooms are dead. You hardly ever find anyone in them, if so, it's someone just sitting idle waiting for another member to join to talk with. I haven't ruled out the idea, but haven't seen a huge demand for it either. Lets see what others have to say about it. Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not going to work for me because well... I type with one finger at a snails pace. If I joined in everyone would have moved on to another topic while I was typing my first sentence.But have at it if it pleases you. I can always watch.

Old Tom Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I use one finger to type and use the other hand to pick up sunflower seeds. It's a bad habit I know but it's hard to break. If you see any used hulls in the washes most likely I have been there before you. I hear that they help keep the rattleys away..............
