Thank you for the suggestion. As far as the 800 number, I have no plans in implementing that anytime soon. I feel if people want to talk to each other, they can exchange numbers...if I were someone interested in speaking with someone, calling a 800 number is a little far fetched.
In regards the Instant Messenger, I have some plans under way to implement that, but as of now...the chat box is in place. However, you're right...an Instant Messenger is much more complex to add than a regular chatbox. It involves a lot of memory, which of course, costs money. Having an Instant Messenger is like a having hundreds of little chatboxes and really chews memory on the server which will in turn slow down the site. Currently, I have other things that I am trying to do...so the IM is not high on the list now. I appreciate the suggestion.
Thanks,
Zay
