During the recent past the "attendance" at the Chat Room (Tuesday evenings 9PM Eastern, 7PM Mountain, etc) has been small. The same five or ten folks every week -- but that's it. Why don't you visit and join in the sessions? We're trying to find out so maybe we can have more folks use and enjoy it.
Sumner made a post about the Room this morning on the Chat Room thread - but I'll reproduce it here.
"I'm wondering would more of you attend chat if it started with a specific subject matter with a moderator for that subject. For instance say one night it is Glen and he answers questions about timing, or a specific car owner that answers questions about his car, or say someone from a place selling carbs and they answer questions, etc. Then when the question period peters out it goes into a general chat?
With this format some could just lurk and not feel that they have to type and say anything, just be there and then enter in if you felt like it.
How about other ideas to make chat popular? Are the Java problems in getting it to work and the security warnings using it turning you away?
Also the chat room works 24-7 so is anyone interested in using it spur of the moment if they see others are on during the day?
Sum"
The Chat Room is open and free and available to one and all. I'd appreciate hearing why you don't visit - so maybe we can make it so you do. Let's hear from you, hey?
