Just wondering, do many people use it?
 If not, how come? :)

In January chat had quite a few members most of the day, but by April it kind of slowed down.  I hardly go in there because no one else is in there.  Makes sense, doesn't it?

best wishes,

Conversations could get a little thin in there.  Although it was nice to have it available to type to people live.  Sometimes teens would be in there swearing.  And it would occasionally be buggy.  I haven't been in for awhile.  I wouldn't mind seeing it back, but usually there would be one person in there when I thought about going in.

I was bored this evening and wondered if anyone I virtually knew would be in "chat", but it's gone.

Oh well. Someone PM me if it comes back.

If God really exists, then why haven't I got more fingers?

Oh my gosh!  Chat is gone!!   :o     :P
I think it got eliminated because nobody was using it and therefore it's gone.

Yeah.  About a month ago.  I guess people could chat with an IM program.

Sort of sucks that it's gone, but it never got used after it got taken down for fixing.

And it was full of people who didn't talk. And quite often the talk was flame, or generally non-existant.

That said, I met a fellow dancer in there, and I likely wouldn't have met him otherwise. Now I know him IRL. So it's not a complete waste.

I think it sort of died when the old crowd drifted away.

The chat room was removed because very few members were using it.
We have currently no plans for opening it up again.
