Thanks for that feedback, wasn't aware of that. That would be a concern although I wonder how many new members are gained by having an open system. Would they more than offset the current users that can't access the site?

If the chat box is enabled for everybody some now may be blocked at work but many have cellphones and they can access the forum when not at work.

Wish I had more data to make the call, guess it would be trial and error.

How do you make it an "opt-in" system? is there a page where people can click on something to "opt in"? Or do you use another method?

Appreciate your feedback.
