Chat room?

Quote:People don't appreciate talking to themselves only to learn everyone is apparently afk.

Perhaps the answer is simple: put a disclaimer.

"Do not be offended by the inactivity of LL chatroom members; they may be AFK."

Quote:And Kandrathe, it is always like that. And it just seems to drive away any potiental "newcomers".

I'm not sure that the LL actively seeks out "newcomers". Mostly they stumble their way in here(from other site's links, and if they fit, they stick around.

The chat room has a place, to avoid filling the forums with "chat", and to facilltate chatting between multiple people(PMs don't work so well with more than 2 people).

I can see how it can be frustrating though. I think that the chat room is best used when you know someone will be in there to chat with... not just looking for anyone to be there.

Of course, I don't use it myself, I could be off base....
