Hi gamcare just an idea, what about a live chat box? So people on can chat via txt but in a live fashion to each other Im usually on quite late but sometimes having the human side and being able to just talk and distract yourself/others does alot in the way of helping keeping away from going to the online sites.alot of bbboards have these in other forums so cant see it being to difficult to impliment.an hour slot for a live talk kinda sucks with limited availability for an entire country.this is another option to consider.
Dear Markie_b
Thanks for your email. We don't have plans to make changes to services at present, but I will pass your idea forward to management. If you were wanting to talk to an adviser to help you when you have urges, remember the netline is available from 8pm to midnight each day, and you can reach us on www.gamcare.org.uk/netline
Best wishes

I have often thought how great it would be to be able to live text/chat with others at all hours.
I think that in particular some people come on here in emotional dire straights.
I was lucky that oddat and hopeful soul are night owls as in my time of need they were there.
I hope that the management will give this serious consideration.
If it is not possible I have thought about making a twitch so that it can offer that provision
