JT Moderator	Message Posted: Sep 16, 2005 12:17:35 PM Ignore JT Report Abuse We're considering adding a chat style forum for general chatting and "watercooler gossip". Should we create this forum? Yes, and call it "Watercooler Chat". Yes, and call it "GasBuddy Town". Yes, but I'd like to suggest a name. No, I like it the way it is. [Edited by: JT at 9/16/2005 12:18:20 PM EST]

cheapSF Rookie Author South Dakota Posts:34 Points:64,930 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Oct 2, 2008 1:23:15 PM Ignore cheapSF Report Abuse I would say No. I like this site because it is very easy to find the current information that I need. A 'chat room' or 'chat group' would be off topic, in my opinion.

Sentraholic Champion Author Maryland Posts:2,197 Points:520,235 Joined:Nov 2006	Message Posted: Jul 21, 2008 12:30:27 AM Ignore Sentraholic Report Abuse Aren't there enough friggin' chat rooms on the internet? I know you're trying to get people to spend more time on this site, but, geez, part of high gas prices, at least in a very indirect manner, is from people being so fat and lazy they can't get up. More time chatting is kinda counterproductive. But, hey, why go outside and make real friends? That requires social skills, a personality. Let's all go pimp out our MySpace pages and wait for the perverts to come get our kids with them! [Edited by: Sentraholic at 7/21/2008 12:31:33 AM EST]

Zee_08 Rookie Author Georgia Posts:1 Points:220 Joined:Jun 2008	Message Posted: Jun 16, 2008 3:10:41 PM Ignore Zee_08 Report Abuse I would like to suggest "Passing Gas" for the name. We would be passing information about all things fuelish. It is an attention getter, and it is not really vulgar even if it has another meaning in many circles. Besides it's 'Punny'. As a variation of that name you could call it "Friends Passing Gas" or some other variation. [Edited by: Zee_08 at 6/16/2008 3:12:47 PM EST]

1kittykat42 Rookie Author Toledo Posts:9 Points:365 Joined:May 2008	Message Posted: May 7, 2008 11:23:43 AM Ignore 1kittykat42 Report Abuse I think it would be a great idea to have a chat call Watercooler Chat. Because it use to be that all chat and gossip happened at the watercooler. This would allow a mixture of topics all in one chat area. Great Idea!
