COPD Chat Cafe

at        COPD Canada Patient Network's Message Board

We've tested it out and we found that going with "pre scheduled monitored Chat" did not work as well as we hoped due to the different time zones of participants.

But; the COPD Chat Cafe will be remaining open and available 24/7 but unmonitored. This will allow registered members of the message board to interact with other members in "real time" whenever they choose.  Or; to hold special meetings.

 

                ( However; please read the info below first)

 

 

What You Should Know:

 

 

Please note: Although it's there, you will NOT "see" any Chat information or have access to Chat unless you are registered at the Message Board/Forum even if you are a member of COPD Canada Patient Network. 

 

Although registration isn't necessary to participate on the Message Board, it is however if you want to be able to meet with friends and use the Chat Cafe. (This has been done to reduce the possibility of someone coming in with the sole purpose of being "disruptive" and "upsetting.)
