What has happened to the chat rooms here?

They are as dead as a dead guy that came back as a Zombie and was killed again.

I think it left with Twitter. You can go there and do 160 characters.

I have no idea, but here is no more campfire here

Chat rooms? OOoooh! Those things, almost forgot about them.

I have a theory that the relaxing of question guidelines made them obsolete. Now anything that pops into anyone’s mind is chatted about on questions in the social section.

Just my thoughts. I do miss the lively banter.

@Dog Wow, you must be a scientist!

People simply stopped going. I gave up some weeks ago.

They seem to still be there.

I agree with @Dog. If you can basically have chats on a thread in Social, what’s the need for a chat room?

So it goes.

I go there sometimes,but I find people often walk out on me…

I’ve tried a few times, but with some of our main users leaving they are completely dead. We should just close them untill people start asking for them again.

@queenie It’s not that people walk out on you, it’s that sometimes people leave but it doesn’t show until someone else joins.

@XOIIO What would be the point of that? Why not just leave them there?

XOIIO's avatar

@bob_ You don’t know what you are missing out on till it’s gone

@queenie Maybe if you took a shower every now and then…

@SpatzieLover It’s 140, not 160 ;)

RareDenver's avatar

@chels who are you? The twitter police? Haha

SpatzieLover's avatar

@chels I do not tweet…that is obvious ;)

Dog's avatar

Well today proves it. Nobody uses chat at all anymore
Happy April Fools~

Yeah man everytime I go in there, it’s all dead and deserted. That sucks.

How can we create a campaign to entice jellies to the chat rooms? Sometimes I want to leave the questions aside and just ‘shoot the shit’ ‘talk crap’ ‘waffle on’ in the chat room with folks that happen to be about. C’mon creative types, how do we keep the rooms full of the jelly goodness?
