Then that, again, seems a problem that coding can't solve. Joel Send a noteboard - 11/10/2010 07:33:32 AM
I mean, it's fair enough, but all the complaining about the absence of a RAFO Chat ignores the fact that a perfectly good group chat exists for all of us, in several forms. If people don't want to use it 'cos of who's there, one of its plusses is creating your own chats for people you want to talk with, then deciding if you bring in others. So if it still falls short of what people want, well, it's not who's there doing what, it's who's not, and that's something RAFO can't really fix.

Once again, if people want a chat, there are plenty of ways to host one, and most of them are better than what wotmanias ten year old code could handle. If people want a Chat they'll make sure they get one, and if they don't, so why argue about it? So far that's all there's been is a wistful longing, so if people don't want to actually USE a chat and talk about what they want, so be it.

I've already had several days like that. Yet people keep insisting RAFO is better without chat. *NM* - 10/10/2010 05:29:46 PM 376 Views
it depends which chat we get. - 10/10/2010 05:44:58 PM 634 Views
You're in the Skype Chat now, btw. - 10/10/2010 10:59:24 PM 579 Views
When chat used to be down for long stretches, everyone would just pile into AIM chat. - 10/10/2010 06:54:33 PM 711 Views
Which they could easily do with Skype and get voice, yet no one does. - 10/10/2010 10:56:55 PM 731 Views
The idea of voice chat creeps me out on so many levels *NM* - 11/10/2010 12:34:22 AM 685 Views
So don't do voice; we rarely do. - 11/10/2010 07:35:33 AM 681 Views

Is that why the Edinburgh gathering pics are always nothing but sign language and dirty gestures? *NM* - 11/10/2010 10:36:00 PM 369 Views
Come and find out *NM* - 11/10/2010 10:48:56 PM 252 Views
The group that is popularized as being a part of that is not enticing to long standing wotmaniacs. *NM* - 11/10/2010 03:29:57 AM 386 Views
This. *NM* - 11/10/2010 04:43:52 AM 242 Views

I don't think most want to download another program when they had it so easy before. - 11/10/2010 10:39:55 PM 736 Views
Honestly, I think the "one time event" is the biggest problem. - 12/10/2010 04:20:04 AM 737 Views
I disagree. I don't think enough people think it worth the effort to deal with Skype. - 12/10/2010 04:28:21 AM 650 Views
What effort? - 12/10/2010 04:38:42 AM 627 Views
The effort beyond clicking two buttons. - 13/10/2010 04:25:57 AM 509 Views
Install, make a SN and search for people you email. - 13/10/2010 04:43:09 AM 682 Views

Then where are they? - 13/10/2010 04:00:46 AM 589 Views
You have a faulty memory. Chat was incredibly active as late as 2007. - 13/10/2010 04:24:25 AM 663 Views
Again, that's people, and not/having Chat won't change that. - 13/10/2010 04:45:40 AM 658 Views

And me! - 13/10/2010 03:27:15 PM 602 Views
oops, sorry about that. *NM* - 13/10/2010 03:42:33 PM 560 Views
What do you mean where are they? There isn't a chat linked to the site. - 13/10/2010 10:44:10 PM 706 Views
So? - 14/10/2010 04:52:37 AM 666 Views
Are you deliberately trying to not understand? - 14/10/2010 05:54:16 AM 794 Views
Not deliberately. - 14/10/2010 06:21:09 AM 683 Views
I doubt that as well, frankly. *NM* - 13/10/2010 03:32:33 PM 293 Views
Things aren't what they used to be... - 13/10/2010 10:46:04 PM 605 Views
No - 13/10/2010 04:45:29 AM 582 Views
"Unmoderated" would be going too far. - 13/10/2010 04:53:19 AM 729 Views
Most of the group consists of long-standing Wotmaniacs, so. *NM* - 12/10/2010 05:25:39 AM 359 Views
I probably didn't phrase that right. Maybe an -er after long and an "in good" before standing. - 12/10/2010 11:02:30 PM 692 Views
Also, what qualifies as "good standing"? Who's the judge? *NM* - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 400 Views
The one who wants to chat, of course? *NM* - 13/10/2010 07:23:15 AM 361 Views
Jonte is right. The judges are numerous. Each with their own motivations and interests. *NM* - 13/10/2010 11:10:04 PM 334 Views
I'd fuck myself to death with a spike of frozen cat piss before I'd chat with that skype crowd. - 13/10/2010 11:42:16 PM 712 Views

we are Rafonauts now. - 13/10/2010 03:16:32 PM 547 Views
Yeah, I know, I came up with the term. Many still consider the "old gang" as "wotmaniacs" though. - 13/10/2010 11:01:58 PM 730 Views
I sure hope you're right. - 14/10/2010 05:04:26 AM 757 Views

There's a Chat if you want one. - 10/10/2010 11:01:57 PM 709 Views

Ditto. - 10/10/2010 11:53:32 PM 614 Views
Well, like I said, talk about something else. - 11/10/2010 01:32:15 AM 620 Views
do you know how hard it is stopping sports fanatics talking about sports? - 11/10/2010 09:59:56 AM 713 Views
I'll usually shut up if someone carries another topic. - 12/10/2010 04:25:19 AM 656 Views
