Chat is for chatting

[Michael Sternbach]

Hi Eclectics,

This is about chat culture. I think it's still a bit confusing a topic for some of you people.

So just to clarify, once you click on "Chat Center", you are actually in chat. Yes, that's right! Just like so!

And if there are any others there, you may as well say something!

That's why it's called "chat room", and not "self-talk."

Let's make chat a fun place. Alrighty?

Your friendly Admin,

Michael

Hi
I have clicked on chat a few times and there is never anyone there!! Would love to have a conversation.

It works better if you have agreed with someone on a time by PM before.

Might be a good idea if we had a designated topic at a certain time.
Then people interested in that topic could join in.
The person who names the topic could act as a kind of host.

Kind of a virtual cocktail party.

Ooh we could have a daily 'happy hour'

I also wonder if people realise that when you are in the chat room, if you click "popup" the chat opens up in a separate pop up window so you can continue browsing through the forum whilst remaining live in the chat room in case anyone joins or replies.

I find it easier to flick between tabs so I usually have a separate tab open instead of having an extra window

When I get on this website I have to scroll past the chat room, while I'm doing that is it says that I am in the chart room but I am not.
