I like that we have a chat but I do miss the old one. With the new chat it's going to be hard to get to know a few of the newbies and we'll probably going to end up with a bunch of ppl. trying to add us just because they need a question asked.

I agree that there are pros and cons for each chat type. I think for now anyway I'd like to see how this one works out. I may have the old one up on certain days/times, I haven't really decided yet.

That's a good point. What about some sort of "designated Q&A night" or something, maybe with some experienced volunteers willing to be present to answer general questions/provide help to newer hobbyists? Just an idea.

With this new chat program, members have the ability to instant message chat with members they choose to have on the GF Friends List, and they also have the ability to create their own chatrooms.

One thing that I want to be clear on right off the bat, is that this new chat program will not be moderated the same way as the old chat room was. Since you are each responsible for building your own personal friend list, it will be up to you to moderate yourselves. If there is someone that you do not want to contact you, I would advise removing them from your friend list.!

as kelli said this is is an unmoderated chat. YOU have to moderate your own chat. you are going to have to make choices, some easy some hard. if there is someone who wants to ask a question, it can be asked on the forums. if you guys are chatting when it is asked. check the forums and try to answer it there. this is a PERSONAL chat not a public one. you guys have to control what goes on in there.

I'm most likely going to implement something like this in the near future.

Exactly right.
