Why Our Chatroom is A Failure...
 

Post your thoughts.

Because of my absence in said chatroom?

Been too busy watching curling.

Because I can't stand you guys for longer than it takes to make a post.

I think it started to fail the moment I poked my head in to see if anyone was there. At least #ags is on the same server.

Because, you changed your name, and we miss Ron Jeremy?

Mike

Because for some bizarre reason people go there and don't chat. Am I missing what the primary function of a chatroom is?

Yes, you're missing it completely. It's not coincidence that the letters of 'irc chatroom' can be rearranged to read 'rich coma rot'.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Ron Jeremy = Saksquash? I mean, look at how hairy the dude is.

And the guy does squash his ballsack for a living.

I blame Glottis

This is correct. People just hang about then post "goodbye". Hell, when I first went there and berated people for not talking Aga accused me of ADD! :P

If it weren't for Glottis no-one would have anything to do right now!

Because we've got the forums to fill our chatty needs.

What Glottis?

Yeah.

Well theres never more than 10 people in the chatroom....maybe if more joined then it would be more chatty.

Nah, number has nothing to do with it. My roleplaying group's channel only ever has 4 people in it (and occasionally 1 or 2 guests) , yet we manage to chat up a veritable storm. Ask Pink. ;)

I'm always willing to reply to any conversation that looks like I can add to it, but whenever I go in nobody's talking. So I wait around until somebody says something I can respond to... which tends to take a while. But anyhoo.

As for "ADD"... I have to admit a complaint... there's a few people who have this IMHO kind of annoying tendency to

type a few words per line
instead of putting it all on one line
which makes it incredibly hard
to keep up with the conversation
you see

:P

Peace & Luv, Liz

I suspect a lot of the people who show as "logged on" have more bandwidth to spare than I do, and aren't actually paying any attention to the chatroom.

I have my reasons for doing that (normally when I need to post a reply before someone else in order to make them realise that I'm still typing), but, I agree, it's a bad habit.

Because Glottis glomps people a lot.

And because Glottis called me "SJH's tasty wench".
