IT sounds good on paper, but................... it's the safety aspect that concerns me the most , probably because I'm female 
It would be good if other members voiced their views ( or their concerns, if any)

Well it would only be running when we had some trusted people were running administration to make sure everyone behaves. All people would have to register so they can be traced if needs be. I've set a test one up if anyone would like to test it out just ask for a link. You will need to register with an email address or you can log in with Facebook or your Google account

Why would you need another site, you're communicating already so why another in effect chat roomI think I would rather stay in these forums
This thread (and its chat room suggestion) is well over ten years old. You're unlikely to get a reply.
Are you on Facebook?
There are lots of groups on diabetes where almost anything goes.

I find they are less constructive advice and more me me me!
So do I, most of the time, and there are exceptions even in Fb groups. But I reacted to someone who'd like a place to discuss 'topics and discussions, points of view not allowed here'.
I'm well aware of what is and isn't allowed here, and our forum ethos/rules are there for safety and to keep the forum welcome for all, and I largely agree with them. I also strongly believe this place is more constructive than most Fb groups because some things aren't allowed.

I couldn't agree more @Antje77 there is such nastiness elsewhere.
On here I worry about being smug and or pompous and try to point out anything i do is correct for me and me alone.
I avoid certain topics simply because i struggle to articulate myself!!
The world is just a great big onion.

I hope it doesn't make you cry
Sorry.
On a serious note I try to avoid sounding superior, I am after all only 8 weeks diagnosed, but people can take offence at anything if they're determined. I'm not sure the freedom of a chatroom is worth the almost inevitable descent into namecalling and worse, at least not for me.

There are plenty of diabetes groups on face book. This here is far more superior than any of them. It's safe and highly moderated so we all feel safe, why fix what isn't broken?

Someone has bought it to top of discussions. I didn't notice when it was posted.
