The chat used to be so busy they had to add multiple rooms to slow it down.
But it isn’t that chat sucks or anything. There just has to be a “seed”. People go in and it is empty and then they leave right away. But if you have a person or two in there all day where if someone logs in and you ask them about their day it snowballs.
My chat has sometimes five people active and there are only 12 registered accounts.
