Again, that's people, and not/having Chat won't change that.

That's when problems started emerging. But I distinctly remember fantastic conversations in 2006.
You're conflating "desire" with "desperate fanaticism." Also, Chat died for the simple reason that a bunch of people ruined it for everyone. Interest died because it stopped being an interesting place.

The only thing Skype changes is 1) you can boot the problems and they won't return and 2) you can do it faster with voice if you want, and do other crap at the same time instead of me having a flashing box beep at me where Adams waiting for me to read what he just typed. Who's there and isn't, and what they do/say, is independent of that, and that problem has to be fixed or putting in a Chat would be pointless.

I've already had several days like that. Yet people keep insisting RAFO is better without chat. *NM*

When chat used to be down for long stretches, everyone would just pile into AIM chat.

Which they could easily do with Skype and get voice, yet no one does.

The idea of voice chat creeps me out on so many levels *NM*

The group that is popularized as being a part of that is not enticing to long standing wotmaniacs. *NM*

Then that, again, seems a problem that coding can't solve.

I don't think most want to download another program when they had it so easy before.

Honestly, I think the "one time event" is the biggest problem.

I disagree. I don't think enough people think it worth the effort to deal with Skype.

You have a faulty memory. Chat was incredibly active as late as 2007.

Sounds right; don't really know much about The Tavern except that's all in character.

Most of the group consists of long-standing Wotmaniacs, so. *NM*

I probably didn't phrase that right. Maybe an -er after long and an "in good" before standing.

Plenty of people who've been around as long as you, and plenty in good standing. *NM*

Also "as long as me" doesn't really factor, because I wasn't using myself to set the bar.

Also, what qualifies as "good standing"? Who's the judge? *NM*

Jonte is right. The judges are numerous. Each with their own motivations and interests. *NM*

Yeah, I know, I came up with the term. Many still consider the "old gang" as "wotmaniacs" though.
