I have to admit that I highly doubt I would ever participate if a revived chat were installed Larry Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 05:08:38 AM
Just providing a place to have a Chat isn't going to bring back all the old wotmania Chat regulars though.


I disagree with that. If one were provided, people would flood it in droves. For the first few months, there would probably be too many people.


I'm not the person at 36 that I was at 26-29 when I would participate regularly. Plus I only would want to chat with a handful of people...people I rarely chat with on MSN these days, alas.

I've already had several days like that. Yet people keep insisting RAFO is better without chat. *NM* Aeryn - 10/10/2010 05:29:46 PM 390 Views
it depends which chat we get. LadyLorraine - 10/10/2010 05:44:58 PM 677 Views
You're in the Skype Chat now, btw. Joel - 10/10/2010 10:59:24 PM 615 Views
When chat used to be down for long stretches, everyone would just pile into AIM chat. TaskmasterJack - 10/10/2010 06:54:33 PM 754 Views
Which they could easily do with Skype and get voice, yet no one does. Joel - 10/10/2010 10:56:55 PM 772 Views
The idea of voice chat creeps me out on so many levels *NM* Camilla - 11/10/2010 12:34:22 AM 724 Views
So don't do voice; we rarely do. Joel - 11/10/2010 07:35:33 AM 722 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 11/10/2010 09:40:29 AM 301 Views
Is that why the Edinburgh gathering pics are always nothing but sign language and dirty gestures? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/10/2010 10:36:00 PM 388 Views
Come and find out *NM* Camilla - 11/10/2010 10:48:56 PM 280 Views
The group that is popularized as being a part of that is not enticing to long standing wotmaniacs. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 11/10/2010 03:29:57 AM 403 Views
This. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/10/2010 04:43:52 AM 257 Views
Then that, again, seems a problem that coding can't solve. Joel - 11/10/2010 07:33:32 AM 756 Views
I don't think most want to download another program when they had it so easy before. TaskmasterJack - 11/10/2010 10:39:55 PM 777 Views
Honestly, I think the "one time event" is the biggest problem. Joel - 12/10/2010 04:20:04 AM 789 Views
I disagree. I don't think enough people think it worth the effort to deal with Skype. Ghavrel - 12/10/2010 04:28:21 AM 684 Views
What effort? Joel - 12/10/2010 04:38:42 AM 675 Views
The effort beyond clicking two buttons. Ghavrel - 13/10/2010 04:25:57 AM 558 Views
Install, make a SN and search for people you email. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:43:09 AM 723 Views
Re: TaskmasterJack - 12/10/2010 11:00:56 PM 557 Views
Then where are they? Joel - 13/10/2010 04:00:46 AM 626 Views
You have a faulty memory. Chat was incredibly active as late as 2007. Ghavrel - 13/10/2010 04:24:25 AM 702 Views
Again, that's people, and not/having Chat won't change that. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:45:40 AM 698 Views
Incorrect John - 13/10/2010 04:58:30 AM 720 Views
Initially only the person who started it can boot. Joel - 13/10/2010 05:12:27 AM 783 Views
Re: Initially only the person who started it can boot. BlackAdder - 13/10/2010 02:45:50 PM 646 Views
And me! Kronin al'Sulc - 13/10/2010 03:27:15 PM 645 Views
oops, sorry about that. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2010 03:42:33 PM 598 Views
Sounds right; don't really know much about The Tavern except that's all in character. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:06 AM 706 Views
What do you mean where are they? There isn't a chat linked to the site. TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 10:44:10 PM 744 Views
So? Joel - 14/10/2010 04:52:37 AM 716 Views
Are you deliberately trying to not understand? John - 14/10/2010 05:54:16 AM 837 Views
Not deliberately. Joel - 14/10/2010 06:21:09 AM 725 Views
I have to admit that I highly doubt I would ever participate if a revived chat were installed Larry - 13/10/2010 05:08:38 AM 698 Views
I doubt that as well, frankly. *NM* Legolas - 13/10/2010 03:32:33 PM 310 Views
Things aren't what they used to be... TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 10:46:04 PM 646 Views
No John - 13/10/2010 04:45:29 AM 624 Views
"Unmoderated" would be going too far. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:53:19 AM 771 Views
Most of the group consists of long-standing Wotmaniacs, so. *NM* Dan - 12/10/2010 05:25:39 AM 377 Views
I probably didn't phrase that right. Maybe an -er after long and an "in good" before standing. TaskmasterJack - 12/10/2010 11:02:30 PM 733 Views
Plenty of people who've been around as long as you, and plenty in good standing. *NM* Dan - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 380 Views
I see that my comments are being interpeted as a blanket insult to all parties involved... TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:09:09 PM 714 Views
Also "as long as me" doesn't really factor, because I wasn't using myself to set the bar. TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:26:29 PM 781 Views
Also, what qualifies as "good standing"? Who's the judge? *NM* Dan - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 417 Views
The one who wants to chat, of course? *NM* jh - 13/10/2010 07:23:15 AM 376 Views
Jonte is right. The judges are numerous. Each with their own motivations and interests. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:10:04 PM 350 Views
I'd fuck myself to death with a spike of frozen cat piss before I'd chat with that skype crowd. LiterateDog - 13/10/2010 11:42:16 PM 743 Views
Colorful. You big, gay elitist. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/10/2010 12:06:14 AM 381 Views
See Kit - 14/10/2010 05:42:21 AM 632 Views
we are Rafonauts now. Yunalesca - 13/10/2010 03:16:32 PM 589 Views
Yeah, I know, I came up with the term. Many still consider the "old gang" as "wotmaniacs" though. TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:01:58 PM 768 Views
I sure hope you're right. Joel - 14/10/2010 05:04:26 AM 810 Views
I am RAFOlk. Joel - 14/10/2010 06:22:25 AM 615 Views
When I got facebook I stopped logging in to aim. Avendesora - 11/10/2010 01:24:26 AM 635 Views
There's a Chat if you want one. Joel - 10/10/2010 11:01:57 PM 749 Views
i wouldn't say mutely Yunalesca - 10/10/2010 11:40:13 PM 715 Views
Ditto. Stephen - 10/10/2010 11:53:32 PM 652 Views
Well, like I said, talk about something else. Joel - 11/10/2010 01:32:15 AM 665 Views
do you know how hard it is stopping sports fanatics talking about sports? Yunalesca - 11/10/2010 09:59:56 AM 758 Views
I'll usually shut up if someone carries another topic. Joel - 12/10/2010 04:25:19 AM 695 Views
I'd deign to chat with you, m'friend. *NM* LiterateDog - 13/10/2010 11:43:13 PM 337 Views
