Any chance OH could add a "Live Game Chat" section to the board? It would be an interesting way for O's fans to discuss the events of the game live during the game, rather than having to read through and post in the Game Threads section.

Some of my best threads were talking about american idol while watching the o's games. Oh Haley where have you gone? At least this season we might have a bikini girl. Oh right baseball. go O's.

We definitely appreciate the feedback, but the live game chat had a very small contingent of participants and moderating it and the message board were a headache. Not to mention problems with the chat utility putting everyone in the proverbial dark with discussing the game.
Trust me...there have been some CLASSIC game threads. You might wear out your F5 button, but it's really can be a fun way to chat about the game.

What about the possibility of setting up a RSS feed? This would give the Game Thread more of a "live chat" feel while still keeping it on the message board itself.

There's a Firefox add-on that lets you tell it to reload the page every so often.
Doesn't change the page for you, and it gets interrupted when you post or change pages, but it can save the paint on your F5 key.

Haha, I was just going to say "hey we have a OH Chat at the top right" and then I looked and it wasn't there. How long has it been gone?
But as you said, I used to go into the chat during the games and I was usually alone and/or nothing was going on.
The Game Threads are probably the best part of this message board, especially when the team is doing awful.
