Why you do not make a chat on your site instead of a forum?
Who finds that this proposition is interressante?

It is not a chat it is a forum. The chat it is the dialogue directly while the forum not.

Both Stardock Central and the WinCustomize Browser include integrated chat clients. By using these clients you are literally one-click away from being connected to a chat room. Set up is pretty much done for you. There is also a wonderful tutorial included, so no one needs to feel like a "newbie."
IMHO, this is a great feature that is under-utilized. You can not only get help if you need it, but it is a great way to feel a pert of the community.

Kona, we know you do not like it. This guy probably does.
The address of the IRC server is irc.stardock.com, port 6667. Go to the #WinCustomize or #Stardock channel. If you need help with Stardock products then go to the #Stardock channel.

BTW: You can download an IRC client from www.mirc.com and as far as I know there are versions in several languages. You sound like French. There is probably a French version too.

No. It is very easy to ban you as soon as I see you. The fun part is that there will be no discussion about it. See how easy it is?

There really isn't any moderation on the chats, we just police ourselves.If you start acting like a moron or start cussing then someone will kick you off with a warning, If you persist, then someone will ban you. Its that simple.

WOM is right. I just checked. In the last 315 days 5 people were banned. 4 for asking for warez. It doesn't occur often that the #WinCustomize channel needs "moderation".

I would estimate that hundreds of users asked questions, received answers or got help that they needed during that same time. All in a civil manner.
Kona, our chat rooms are great. No one is forcing you to use them, but they are pretty cool.
For me it is a thrill to hang out with skinners and developers and just listen to them trade secrets.

irc.stardock.com #WinCustomize is the "chat room", J.Nay
The messageboard is here so that people on all time zones can still communicate with each other.

If you have never used them, how do you know that the forum is better 
And *besides* the word is "besides", not "decides" >
!!!!
edit: that ">" should be the angry face- it doesn't work for admins anymore for some reason... I guess we can no longer have an angry face
