Forum vs. Chat Room: Which do you like better?


Right now, I like the forum. Chat is okay, but I need to get adjusted to it...

forum easily ,ive been in the chat ,everyone was nice ,but by the time id typed an answer ,the text had scrolled out of sight ,far to fast for these

personally, i like them both equally. i've been using the chatroom for about 2 years now and the forums for a while also... i guess i've adjusted to them equally and dont have much of a difference anymore. there are just times where the forums get overwhelming to read all the posts and reply to them because when i see lots of words all at once i flip out mentally and cant focus...

I haven't tried the chat rooms yet. I really like the forums though.

ive been in the chat a few times now and felt ok in there everybody was very kind ,but then the other night there was someone on being ,well just mardy with everyone ,so i dont think ill bother again ,i like the forum
i have time to say what i want without rushing ,,so forum for me ,,
thanks crystal hope your ok ,,,hugs ken xxx

I have now tried the chat and found it to be very lonely...people all knew each other and had their chats going and I was an outsider. I like the forum better.

I like the forums better.

Think it is because if I feel that I have to make a reply to something right away, I am afraid of somehow saying the wrong thing.

I may still sometimes say the wrong things in the forum but at least I have given it a little thought before I put my foot into my mouth.

After trying it for a while, I think both can be pretty cool!

I tried the chat room for the first time earlier, wasn't sure what to make of it. I guess it's always helpful to have somewhere where you'll get a more instant response if you're having a tough day. Will probably keep going between both for the time being.
