• Instant Messaging
Meeting Room is about community and communication. And there are
plenty of ways to communicate: Posting on the Boards, Instant
Messaging, E-mail, ICQ, AIM and YIM. Of course, all methods of
communication are only available to members. An exception is when
the Meeting Room Forum Staff decides to allow guests to post on the
Boards: in this case all unregistered users are allowed to post,
but, what they are NOT allowed to do is viewing the Member List and
sending Personal Messages to members.
Instant Messaging
While e-mail is a good way to correspond privately with members, it
has several drawbacks: You must open your e-mail application to
write and send the message; the recipient must open his/her e-mail
application; check his/her mail and your message will be mixed in
with all the other mail and it can take sometimes several minutes to
an hour for mail to reach the recipient.
As an alternative to e-mail, Meeting Room offers a faster, more
private method. Instant Messaging on the boards provides
instantaneous delivery to the recipient's Private Mailbox. The mail
is sent and received entirely through Meeting Room, so neither you
nor the recipient have to open another program or leave Meeting
Room. Instant Messaging also gives both the sender and recipient
greater privacy: No one's real e-mail address is revealed. Instant
Messages show only the handle and name of both parties.
If a recipient isn't online, Instant Messages wait in the member's IM
box until the next time s/he logs in and manually reads and/or
deletes them. Meeting Room Instant Messages is a self-contained,
highly private e-mail system.
