I will be sure to check into the old chat room from time to time. A quick idea is to user the Who's online feature of this board. One could send a private message to invite someone into the chat room. I thought the chat room was gone, thanks for posting the link!

eric, I no longer see the whos online feature... are you able to see that? Anyone know how to get that back?

When logged in, in the menu bar it is found under "quick links" mostly it is loaded with "guests" but you can find what registered guys are online.
