Thanks again, ZT, for all your hard work on this!

By way of a new feature ... I'd love to see "Chat Events".

Here's the idea:

1) A user wants to schedule a chat based on a given interest or topic (or for any reason).

2) They pick a name, date & time for this chatting "event".
(for example ... "Chevrolet Lovers Chat" ... March 1, 2005 ... 7pm pst)

3) Either they enter this event via a Chat Calendar or in an "Scheduled Chat" announcement forum.

4) Users can "sign up" for this event (limited number of "slots" for those who wish to participate if server crash and burn might be an issue).

Typical uses might be:
Members who want to discuss a particular interest, current event, cause, "club" meetings, chats with an "expert" ... etc.

This is a rough sketch of something I'm certain you & others can improve. 'Hope it's an idea you like and might consider.

Thanks!
