Me too. But guess the collective generally isn’t into chatting. I’ve seen people here saying they feel awkward inside the chatroom, or they already have the social section.
Not to mention some people feel that the chatroom makes this site too casual for a Q&A site.
Lots of different time zones for all us flutherers. I’m on the west coast, you have east coasters, and all sorts of out of the country peeps too.
I don’t go to chat because it is too fast paced and you get lost in the ramble.
There have been spurts in the rooms when some make concerted efforts to liven up the “funeral parlors”. But the conversations quickly dwindle and grow ever more inane. The last “revival” was notable for an apparent convention of vampires.
I waste enough time here as it is. I couldn’t see spending more time here. And the people I see in the chat room are not the people I would want to chat with.
Frankly, I don’t particularly want to know anyone here will enough to chat with. You are all ciphers – names on a screen. And that’s fine with me.
