The problem with an independant chat room program is that is disconnects us from our Team Speed affiliation. Any chat room option would need to be generated from within the site that would allow the site to reflect the traffic.

I am moving away from the chat room option. I like have the thread for late comers to read and enjoy. A chat room would not allow us to log the info for posterity.

Keep the votes and suggestions coming!

I was left out from #5.

I chose #1 though.

Is it bad during F1 season I re-arrange my sleeping pattern?

I like the two thread option so it is easier to follow along (less pages to sift through), just make sure to close the p/q one as soon as the race begins.

The concensus seems to be that we keep this a single thread for now.

Thanks for the input!

I would like to switch my vote to a new yet to be created option..."no voting"...because we need some executive (aka Lewis lover) decision making.

I voted for option 1.

Dana, what if you start the thread like usual, then 1hr (or whatever cut-off time you/we choose) before the Speed coverage starts you split the thread?
