Super 8 chat room started

[Scottness]

I thought a chat room for Super 8 might be an interesting idea - I have no experience with them but I've just set one up through bravenet as a trial - I don't know if they're a good provider - but it's free - so nothing to lose.

Anyway it's at:

if you want to give it a go - any advice or feedback is welcome

There might not be enough traffic to sustain it - but it's worth a go anyway I guess

Good luck,Scott,hope it picks up momentum.It's pretty quiet right now,but then I'm a catch as catch can guy so maybe I've just been there at the dead time.

I see two ways to make this work.

One is if someone is making a feature in super-8 and the feature is creating industry buzz. Perhaps a well known actor is in the Super-8 feature, or the budget is at least a couple hundred thousand dollars and the budget has been approved by a network or distributor. Many other filmmakers would love to get daily chat updates as to how the production is going.

The other way for a Super-8 chatroom to work would be if all the Super-8 forums on the net put a link button on their forums to the chat room. Whenever an arguement or discussion occurs that will is of interest to a very small group of people, the chat room would be a good place to continue the discussion.

The down side to a chatroom is I assume whatever information is generated during the chat room discussion is it disappears quite rapidly and the info is no longer accessible for others to benefit from.
