Why does everyone either ignore you in the Chat or just talks utter rubbish?

That happened to me at first, but you soon get to know people and their style of posting.

Occasionally, the conversation is sensible, but i guess people go into chat to unwind after a busy day and just have some fun. I know i do.

When there are a lot of people (12+), often another room is opened for people who actually want to talk about piano.

Actually that's right. Especially if you are a musician and very addicted and interested but maybe just coming from a day of teaching or practicing or writing tons of notes and being VERY exhausted.  :P

Yeah true, it can get crazy in there but it's all in good fun. If you want to talk about something serious it's usually better to post a topic on the forum.
