Hey Guys, RimRunner hit it the closest to what I am talking about. I dont know much about it my self so I will try and explain it the way I understand it. Basically an area on the forum that would allow users to interact in real time. As far as I understand the Net Meeting software by MS it allows you to have several users logged in to it together, as though you are all in a meeting sitting at one PC. All users would be seeing the same thing on each of their monitors sitting at home or in there office. Kind of like a net gamming session. As rimrunner said this is getting really essential in the big bucks corp world. All people looking at what the person that has control of the SHARED APPLICATION. So the person that has control over the session would be able to do a small demonstration of a command or a small tutoria or what ever. May be even have a special advanced gust per week. The software allows you to share applications, files, write notes, and I think Evan talk, all in real time. I think the Microsoft version called MS net meeting is a standard in all win OS from 98 to the current win 2000,NT,win me, ect.. if you look under programs / accessories / communications / net meeting. You can read a bit and you will get the idea. So with all that said ( I hope I have made sense ) would it be a possibility to offer it on the forums. I think it could expand the users resources and would really be of great benefit to all forum members. In fact in my opinion would make renderosity the # 1 web resource for 3-D artists ( not that it is not that already ) the forums are a lifesaver. The reason I think it would be a great thing is to cut out all the misunderstood questions when writing a post, when you need help with something. This could cut out the to often long drawn out process of getting to the real meat of a question. Could be set up on a weekly basis or on demand type of thing, like a chat in real time or virtual type of thing. Well Let me know what you guys think, I have mentioned this the Rhino forum and a lot of people think it sounds like a really good Idea. Thanks Bill B.
