Not much at all really...almost everytime I go in there isn't anyone there.

I can't go in now, because I need to get ready for school...lets see, leaving in 15 minutes and not dressed or anything. There appears to be someone there though.

One (possibly) curious aspect of the chat room is when the front page of the forum announces that there is but one person therein, presumably "chatting" to him/herself alone; as best I understand it, it takes two to converse as well as to tango...

Best,

Also sometimes people accidentally leave themselves in there, and it is only when you get in there that you realise that there is actually no-one there.

I am in there right now...waiting...

It's quite the paradox, as some people will only go in if there's more than one person.

So you end up with a chatroom where someone is perpetually waiting, as whenever numebrs drop, no one wants to go it to break the cycle.

I went into the chat room to investigate with EMF and thermal detectors, a digital thermometer, EVP recorder, infrared camera, and still camera.  After setting up the equipment and later analyzing all the evidence, the findings were fairly conclusive.  I can reveal that the place definitely has paranormal activity going on in there, including a sighting of a full-body apparition of Carl Czerny playing his "School of Velocity".  Egad!  So if I had to make a pronouncement, yeah, I'd say it's haunted!  ;D

Well, It takes two to have a conversation and if less people are in the chat room than less people are going to drop in. I personally sometimes just stay waiting for people and it takes sometimes 3 or 4 hours. So If you want to talk go in, that's the only way you are likely to get anyone else in there. It doesn't always take that long often it's less than half an hour.

Yes, netzow, you are completely right.

Often I only go in there if someone is already there, but I ten to not go in if 3 or more people are already there. It feels too much like I am intruding on a conversation.

Sometimes, if someone is in a private room, although you cannot see them they are there. It shows up that there is one person chatting in there, even when there isn't.

I find the Chat has became very quiet since November 2007...shame, it was quite good. :'(
