SWIM Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Being retired and working hard at what I do best (absolutely nothing) I find I spend quite a bit of time on the board reading, posting and replying. However, instead of hitting "view new posts" over and over like a crack head looking for a fix, I think it might be nice to chat with some of you once in a while live. I feel like I have made a few new friends here in the short while I have been here. Wish I had found this site before, I would have been here long before now. Anyway,: When I click the "live chat" link at the top, nobody is in there but me... Do you folks never use it, or do you have a particular time that you log on? If there is no such organization like this, perhaps we can setup a time everyday that is convient for most here. I think it would be fun to watch Antlerman and Alice go round with the hard headed BuddyFeriss on a live venue. Anyone else feel like this?
Japedo Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I used to use it on rare occasion, but hate sitting there waiting and waiting. I'm up and down from the keys and not always there if someone happens to slip in so don't really bother.

But since I posted this it was vacant most of the time.
perianwalsh Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I asked dave(webmaster)before and he says the chat room is functioning properly
Grandpa Harley Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I've used it... I got to speak to Dave the Web... That's why my leprosy cleared up and me leg grew back...

Man, I thought it was just me... I think we need a 12 step program. Seriously though, I'm on the West Coast so my times probably don't work for most people. I'm usually on in the afternoon around 1pm Pacific. Heather
fallenleaf Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 The java chat craps out on me a lot. So I don't use it. I do lurk in a couple IRC channels that were once associated with the forums. But that's no longer the case... so it's mostly old crusty regulars lurking on there and not talking. They do pick up on the weekend nights (Friday + Saturday) late... 9pm-2am ET. I do not know that most people here would even recognize most of the people who lurk there (as most people here don't even recognize me anymore). Oh well. Talking live with people is great at times. Especially when you really need to vent.
quicksand Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Boards ago, the chat rooms were used quite a bit. I've chatted to Clearview and many other back-in-the-day. What made them work was posting a meet-up time to chat to get as many members as possible to chat.
fallenleaf Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Old and crusty, eh? lol, it often slips my mind that some of the people who frequent there are much too fair a sight to be called old and crusty. But tall and gorgeous regulars isn't 100% accurate either. I'll be old and crusty... everyone else can be whatever they want.

LloydDobler Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Hehe, I'll take the old and crusty accusations Cv. Michael, the trick to chat rooms is to hang out there even when nobody is there. You have to have a seed person or people, because most everyone else won't go into an empty chat room. The more often someone is there, and the more reliably that happens, the more frequent chatting will be. Basically it's like the old saying: If you want a chat, be a chatter. Or something.

I must be the seed. Because I'm always there but I never get to talk to anyone. Everyone leaves before I notice or before I get back. Or maybe it's just me... do I smell?
Grandpa Harley Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 only vaguely of sandalwood and depravity dear one...

I have done this a few times. What happens is, if you spend enough time in there alone, it sort of invisibly logs you out. I was in the room alone for a long time when I started this thread. Poeticlicense came in, saw my icon in the room, but attempts to chat, or her icon/name did not appear in mine. So, after get a IM that I was not responding, I re-logged and there was the other person's icon! It seems sitting in there does no good. Maybe that explains why it stays dead all the time...
OldApostate Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 only vaguely of sandalwood and depravity dear one... Mmmm, that sounds delicious.
Grandpa Harley Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Somehow, I'd expect that from someone with a Louise Brooks avatar
OldApostate Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Somehow, I'd expect that from someone with a Louise Brooks avatar It's actually not Lulu, but Clara Bow. They're often mistaken. I do love Louise though. Pardon the derail, but there are some very lovely and surprisingly erotic photographs of her about.

SWIM Posted October 27, 2007 Author Posted October 27, 2007 Well, Im in the chatroom right now if anyone is interested. Been trying to seed it with my presence for a while, but it seems to be meaningless..
perianwalsh Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 last time i met you on chat-do you receive the reply on that day?
Everglaze Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I was in the Chat Room yesterday for the first time. It was pretty cool.
white_raven23 Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I cannot access any chat stuff while at work. They have them all blocked. Heck, I'm being naughty just making posts!
