i would go in there alot and nobody would be in there,.. before the board crashed so hopefully people were having such a withdraw from the site theyll all rush to the chat.....hmmm its a thought

We should all agree on a specific meeting time in the chat room, so we'll get a bunch of people, then announce it. Of course, people's fencing schedules are crazy so we'd have to find a pretty good time for most people.

i agree with sabre. you guys dont see it but im in there all the time i might be afk alot but i can see the logs....we have had alot of people join today about 15 but no one has stayed so they miss each other...this is one thing, open the chat and leave it open, minimize it, check back every 15 20 30 45 mins whatever
but keep contributing to the conversation. hope this help...and yes sabre i agree we should make a time where we know everyone will be there. im guessing around 9-11pm eastern should work across all time zones, except maybe for zelda, but she stops by alot and i have tlaked to her a few times. guys who leave there comp on all the time just run it in the background.

heres the deal...i try and be there as much as i can but i cant be there all the time...people need to stick aorund on not just leave. what i see is from the logs is that poeple stay for 2 mins and leave. if people just idle and run it in the background it will start to gain popularity and more and mroe uses will be drawn and stay...its progressive and it takes some work to get a chatroom that operates itself but it will owrk if people keep coming back and staying. for instance. zelda, and kbay and mo they stop by when they can and stick around and end up having very interesting conversations, but others leave to quick to actually meat people.
