    Hi
    I have been in the chat room several times now without any company. Is it still operational?

    It's also needlessly complicated. An IRC channel would be much simpler. :D

    Anytime i've met up with anyone in the chat room, its been late at night, there all night owls! Perhaps it would be a good idea to arrange to meet at a certain time, eg. 9pm and see if anyone takes you up on the offer,

    Ps, i'm not great on computers, but found it easy to navigate around the chatroom.

    I would love to join the chat room on a regular basis with others to air things etc I think a set time might be a good idea and maybe the ''night'' ones are in other countries?? I too could go with IRC idea but I suspect using the site chat room would be easier for a lot to find who maybe aren't as techie?

    Maybe we should get together and suggest a 'Best time' for people to get on to the chat system?
    It should give us a far better chance of more people being there at the same time..

    What thinkest thou folks?

    When's best for you?

    Day / Time

    There always used to be (says he sounding like an old-timer, I only joined in March) fixed opening times and this seemed to work OK with a reasonable throughput. 8pm-10pm?

    :mrgreen: Howdy folks! Am always ready for a good chat. I must warn you I do go on and on and on and on- any takers. Hows about letting me know what sort of hobbies you have? I keep sayng I'm going to get into doing something "useful". As I'm going to stay with my daughter for a whole month thought I would help her to catch up with knitting some baby coats as a lot of her friends are having or just had babies. Used to love gardening but can't do that any more.

    Evenings is best for me as I am at work during the day. By the time I've cooked dinner best time for me would be around 20:00 hrs. Am I right it is just the one room? I'm rubbish at anything slightly complicated BTW lol
