Chat Room

Chat Room was created by fats
hi all,

just to let you all know the chat room at the moment is not working, I have no idea why and all we can do is wait for it to be sorted.

I'll keep you up to date with any news.

Freenode is having problems. It's out of our control.

Scott your not wrong, the activity in the chat room over the last 2-3 weeks have died down to such a degree that I'm considering the future of the room as a full time chat room, my thinking is to keep the chat room as a meeting space for organizing meetings but for all other times not use the room.

What are people's opinions on the subject?

I don't think it would be a good idea to reduce the chat room to the town hall meetings. While it's true that these meetings were the most active times for the chat room, the usual activity in the chat through it's core users shouldn't be so easily forgotten. There were a lot of fun conversations there (although a few not so fun ones were there too) that kept me going for much longer than I probably would have otherwise. And although it won't matter to me in the long run I'd prefer for the chat room to return to it's previous state instead of giving it up after a phase of decreased activity.

I'm very sorry for my decreased presence in the chat, but RL took a tool on me as of recent.

Anyway I don't think that closing the chat without providing a suitable alternative it's a good idea. While it isn't one of the site main features it's one pf the most unique.

I'd like to use the chat room as soon as I learn to type at a decent speed. As it is now, the person I would be communicating with would die of old age before I could tap out Hi..

There's no substitute to practice, so get in there and start typing. :P

There have been some ups and downs in terms of activity in the chat, but one thing stuck out in the recent past: One-minute-presences. There are several people who look into the chat, see that only one person is there (three guesses who that is) and then leave after a few seconds to two minutes. Sometimes I really wonder why these people come online in the first place - or whom they intent to find in the chat when they don't stay long enough to actually be noticed let alone say hi. The most hilarious example was two people pulling this of one after another, the first person gone even before the second person arrived - and both gone before I noticed it.

Just to make sure, I'm not asking for more activity here. After over two years in the chat I am more than aware that this won't happen during my time.

Guilty! But believe it or not I would have stayed much longer if the IOS app didnt constantly disconnect me or if my power didnt cut out! I'm gona try and come on later today though.

Actually I didn't mean you with this one as you mostly did try the chat when I was sleeping (so I couldn't know how long you were there). Then again this isn't the first time I hear about iOS being picky about it. My Android app (using Andchat) doesn't have that kind of problem as long as I have internet.
