	True, I almost never see more than 2 or three people logged on at once. However, I have often gone over theory with others at ICC using the examination mode option. So all that has to be done is establish a free playing site for chesspublishing.com.

	I am one of those who didn't think there was any need for a live chat feature. The main point I would make is that there are never enough of us on the site at any one time to make it worthwhile. I suppose there is an argument that if there were live chat, more people might stay logged on longer, in the hope of striking up a theoretically valuable or otherwise interesting discussion but, personally, I doubt it.

	If sometimes we fly too close to the sun, at least this shows we are spreading our wings.

	Given how well this site is run (Kudos to yaltmax), my guess would be that the reason that this feature wasn't added was due to a problem that the Spanish like to call "Poco Dinero". If not that, it was was probably "Poco Tiempo".

	Was it decided that this wouldn't be used? The votes seemed to indicate that people wanted to try it.

	I was just wondering if our ChessPublishing community needs a real-time live chat feature added to this forum? It would be another menu item on top that you can click and the new window will pop-up with chat in it. You would be able to talk live to people currently online in this forum. Only after a week after grand opening of this forum, I already saw many members simultaneously browsing this forum. Plus, we might be really lucky and have some kind of special nights with Masters giving the interview in that chat or something Well, what do you think? Vote and tell.
