Live Aquarium Clinics On Tff

[steelhealr]

There has been some discussion about trying a schedule of live aquarium clinics in the Live Chat area. There are many pro's and con's to doing so. Here is an opportunity to voice your opinion. SH

I would certainly be interested

Any time generally would suit (me personally), but weekends might be best overall.

Live chat might be fine - it seems to work fine for me on java but I have problems on MIRC.

i think it's an excellent idea. my one issue would be the timing and the cross over of countries with regard to the products and general styles of fishkeeping. but i'm sure that's already been taken care of!

i've gotta say i've been on livechat once so i put not sure

That would be cool, Everyone could learn more through having clinics and many would like to (I know I would!), Saturdays or weekday afternoons work best for me, Sundays are Okay too

If this poll has overall good input, the next step would be to generate a topic list and see if this could be done with mods and members from both sides of the pond. SH

For me, weekends are the best time, simply because by the time i get home from work, most of the UK people have already gone to bed.

jus to clear it up incase someone (*looks other way*) doesnt understand.


what do you mean?

 

[blitztidus]

This is sounding pretty cool already

I think this would be a great utilization of chat, my biggest concern would be the differences in time globally. I'm one of the people who would wake up at 3 am to participate for a couple of hours, sleep from 5 until 7, then wake up & go to work. I'm sure that there are many people who aren't willing to do this, I was wondering if there could be a continuation/alternate session, or summary posted on the boards.

You would have to find people from American, European and Asian time zones that are willing to participate, if you could do that then I think it would work great.

SamUK...what we are talking about is doing some topics 'live'...in the live chat room with experienced mods/members. Most people don't realize that many of our members have written textbooks (one recently published a text on brackish fish); one has extensive experience in breeding angels; some have more tanks that we have fingers on two hands; some have focused their time on Emergencies; etc.

As mentioned above, I would be willing to join on both sides if that meant setting the alarm clock, or something. However, first is to check interest, which seems mostly positive. Next would be to develop a 'protocol' for using the chat room. Then, we could poll or vote on topics..then just pick a date. Hopefully we'll get more input on this thread before committing and giving it a whirl.

I think it is an interesting method to explore to keep things new and interesting here. SH

Next poll coming. SH
