Don't worry about it Stone.
They (we) chat everywhere these days.
I guess mentallity changed. (Not only on this Forum.)
That's why "old members" who come back say that the forum changed a lot.
But useally we can get ppl back on topic by ignoring the chat or posting a helpfull post or making the chat to rediculous.
Your idea is still good though. Just like the off topic in the german part. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Just give people time to get used to it. And use it properly.
Like the post of me that you quoted. It's all about illusions. Don't move posts to fast.
