Can we set up a chat announcement thread?

I like the chatroom, and about half of us wonder why no one is ever in there. Well, why don’t we set it up so we can know when others are online?
Just follow this thread, and when you’re going into the chatroom, reply with the date and time. Then others who are following will see the response and can join you if they’re on about the same time.
Can this work? Who knows?!

Good idea. I’ll follow!
But I can’t talk tonight I have to go to bed.
Tues – 26 Nov 2013 – 11.32 PM Eastern time (4.32 AM England time, 6.32 PM Hawaii time)
Great idea! I’m following.
Do we really need the time, though? The permalink already tells us when something was posted, and I think figuring out all the different time zones would be too much hassle for me.
How about a cool catchphrase instead? ~
Hi, my name is AL & I will take a dare… childish giggling
Wow, will you look at the volume of traffic here, indicitive of the chatroom itself.
Ha! Well I’m in again. 27 November, 10:30 AMish EST, 3:30 @ucme time
Haha, @ucme time, loving it :)
It’s now 17:15 in my world & i’d join you there, but i’m about to sit down for my tea, maybe later.
Free form chatting? I want @ucme or @blondesjon to prepare a monologue then I’ll come…lol
No pressure there then ;-}
@ucme Hey, I know who makes me laugh, it’s rare, take it as a compliment! :)
@KNOWITALL Oh I do, I do, i’m positively beaming with pride over here :)
1.39 pm EST. At the laundry, should be here about a half hour. ^_^
^^Are there many people present? If so, I dare you to burst into song, “I’m gonna wash that man right outta my hair”
Report back here with the reaction you received, if any.
Anyone wanna chat? I’m stuck at a mall.
^ I’m back in, too. 3:47 PM
THree of us in there now, 8.13 PM EST
I never understood why you can’t access the chat room on the mobile site.
I think I maybe popped into the chatroom once in all my time here, your name hangs around after you’ve left giving the impression that you’re still in there, loitering with intent.
I’m going to jump in now & immediately leave to test out my theory…here goes…
Yep, still says i’m in there, but I can’t be because i’m here typing this shit for my own amusement & therefore, as we all know, or should do, you can’t be in two places at once…unless you shoot a home video of you & your kids playing & then watch it back…kinda.
May I suggest a strong belief in laziness?
You prolly wanna post the link to the chat when you’re there. Make it easier on people to dive in.
FLUNKERING HARDCORE!
Someone talk to me!
Thread revival! 10:15 PM EST!
Elongated yawn, mainly for dramatic effect.
If anything, this is a “Summon Seek” thread.
Let’s see how long this takes… 5:17 PM EST
Let’s try this again… 10:47 PM EST
Sorry hon, I actually had stuff to do today. Maybe tomorrow.
Third time’s the charm? 7:07 PM EST
I’m in the chat room! It’s 5:14pm east coast time.
:Anyone? I’m stuck somewhere again…this time I’m stuck in a lobby. :(
@Seek_Kolinahr You always seem to idle out while I’m in the room. Am I really that boring?
I apologise. This is a particularly crazy night. And my internet imploded for a while. I promise, you’re not that boring. I just suffer from extreme multitasking and a little bit of a lack of manners.
8:29 PM EST for real this time.
I have to get started with my day, but I might be on tonight.
I’m online! 7:41pm me-time!
I couldn’t post in chat! I guess I’ll try again some other time.
Still no luck. Must be my android phone. Shame, too. Looks like a good conversation. I’ll try later with the laptop.
10:16 AM EDT
Also, is it time to create a new thread?
Perhaps. Does Seek still Fluther?
here for 5 minutes on and off.
1:23 PDT lunch hour for me. :-)
