It's interesting how someone enters the chat room, and does a greeting. We usually greet in return. But, when someone initiates a conversation, like, "How are you?" and then that person leaves the chat room without much of a response. I am aware of the whims of the Internet so that folks have to leave the chat room, but still it would be a curtesy to reply a question and carry on some kind of a conversation than just open space. Even to acknowledge that person and answer a question. Here we are from all over the world and we can have that opportunity to chat. But, some of us may be having a bad day, and that's okay. Yet, try to have the common curtesy to say hello and just have a little chat or even a spat!

I have found this as well.
When i enter into chat, almost everyone leaves.

haha i know because of some issues awhile ago, a few certain people see my name and leave right away, i am asking these people to get over it, others have and i want to apologize for anything i may have done to upset you!
-
I think the names stay in the room for a few minutes after someone leaves. So if you see their name, they may have just left, and then system takes the name off in a minute or so.

I am getting to know the system, Bob, and thank you. I do want to acknowledge american_girl's behavior in the chat room. She has good chat room manners and is a good listener too. = )
-
Yeah there's a bit of a delay before the name actually is removed from the chat room and when you enter it seems to reset. Mm, the new name is a better choice imo.

Then maybe you need to get some cyber-roll-on; try it and see if it makes any difference...
Best,

So, let me see if I understand you correctly.
If someone enters the chat, we are *obligated* to have boring small-talk with that person, irregardless to our feelings about said member?
"Irregardless"? Qu'est-ce que c'est?...
Lol do not want.
Then quite simply you do not have to have - "lol"ling or otherwise - and I was not aware that there was anything resembling a compulsory duty to enter the chat room on this or indeed any other internet forum and contribute thereto while therein...
Best,
Alistair

Yeah you were but don't include GWK in this, he was just as annoying.

Why haven't you been banned yet?
Because -- as you can see from his signature -- he's identified himself as "john11inch," and I'm sure that the webmaster feels sorry for anyone who's as "height-challenged" as pokey seems to be.

Haha! You'll be surprised at the variety of people who use the internet. A lot of them are kids who just log on and off without notice. I used to say goodbye and the like but people are surprised by my courtesy. That was back in 2002. Now, I just log off whenever I like, unless I'm engaged in a very very interesting convo that lasted for more than an hour that logging off without notice would be very disrespectful. ;)

I'm finding out about the ones that come and go. And the ones that stay around for a nice meaningful chat. Yet, it has been enjoyable to meet some of the members since I've joined, :)
