Private Rooms obviously have the problem of keeping RPs private, which isn't good for community development, but the concept of creating open, public rooms in the chat space I think is a great concept. The Carpe DM and Ahoy Adventure rooms can be used for any setting in any place, but they have a rather distinct personal feel for whoever is in there first. The ability to create a public room with a title of, lets say 'Sharn Skybridge' or even 'House Sivis Message Station' (and I use Eberron related examples here simply because i'm dying for a room with that setting) gives an open public impression that anyone can just jump right in.Inevitably though there is down sides, most outstanding probably being moderation and implementation. I can't imagine it'd be any easier to do that and keep it well moderated as what a private room would be, and I imagine it'd involve quite a bit of tricky programming to pull off in flash chat.Another inevitable problem is that you (the player) are creating a mini setting that will inevitably have its own setting restrictions. Can't have a titan walk into a lightning rail coach. The Magi would then have to consider if they want to hand over power of creating setting restrictions for a persons own public rooms over to the users or not (which could, I believe, be done if guidelines are enforced). Ontop of this, somewhere down the line someone would manage to stuff it up for everyone by naming a public room 'My bedroom' - which obviously doesn't have a very public community contribution feel to it.In short, its a great idea and one I think would be a great feature to the ISRP community, but it would involve a lot of work, and probably a lot of new rules, coding and moderation problems that would indeed give the Magi a headache.</blockquote>
