How awesome would it be if this site had a little something like facebook has? You could add friends and have instant ability to talk to them. It would work trades SO much easier! What do you guys think?

NO

1. instant messaging is retrogressive
2. it attracts younger folks
3. it can be used to go around the beckett system
4. which sets folks up for fraud

it's the same reason there arent chat rooms

this has been brought up before, and it will NOT happen

and thank god

I agree with Jacoby but i think it might work if the instant messaging was only on the trade screen

It would make it easier IF it worked!!!!
Beckett isn't the fastest when it comes to updating it's website...

But if they did and it worked the 1st go round...
I would like it better then haven't to check the trade page for notifications that sometimes doesn't open.

A simple "hey, sent you an offer" would save everyone time.

I dont see anything retrogressive about it.
How could it be anymore susceptible to going around the Beckett system than PM or Email?
It would be nothing more than a more efficient PM, IMO.


There are going to be pros and cons with almost anything in any aspect....I just see a lot more pros as opposed to cons on the instant message system.

it';s a moot point. beckett has already said no on this issue, and very clearly

and IM's are so last decade
