I find, that the system, as it is, is far more useful to me. Unlike an IM box, or chat box, where I'm constantly involved, this pager system lets me disappear for a bit, and return the message when I want, without really hurting anyone's feelings. That's the true beauty of it.

Doc,
I have a small forum. It doesn't have very many people on it at the same time. People come to my board to engage in serious discussions that last, well sometimes YEARS. When we do see others online, it's nice to just page them and continue chatting with each other. We are all very close and know each other online and offline. However, it's a hassle to go to the flashchat and wait for someone to come and visit us because we could be waiting for hours.
Anyway, my users like chatting with the pager system vs. flashchat. They like one on one conversations, and they like the convenience of not having to open up a Flash based chat window to communicate.
