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 385 Views
it depends which chat we get. LadyLorraine - 10/10/2010 05:44:58 PM 664 Views
You're in the Skype Chat now, btw. Joel - 10/10/2010 10:59:24 PM 603 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 741 Views
Which they could easily do with Skype and get voice, yet no one does. Joel - 10/10/2010 10:56:55 PM 759 Views
The idea of voice chat creeps me out on so many levels *NM* Camilla - 11/10/2010 12:34:22 AM 714 Views
So don't do voice; we rarely do. Joel - 11/10/2010 07:35:33 AM 711 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 11/10/2010 09:40:29 AM 293 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 382 Views
Come and find out *NM* Camilla - 11/10/2010 10:48:56 PM 276 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 398 Views
This. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/10/2010 04:43:52 AM 252 Views
Then that, again, seems a problem that coding can't solve. Joel - 11/10/2010 07:33:32 AM 742 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 761 Views
Honestly, I think the "one time event" is the biggest problem. Joel - 12/10/2010 04:20:04 AM 763 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 671 Views
What effort? Joel - 12/10/2010 04:38:42 AM 661 Views
The effort beyond clicking two buttons. Ghavrel - 13/10/2010 04:25:57 AM 537 Views
Install, make a SN and search for people you email. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:43:09 AM 709 Views
Re: TaskmasterJack - 12/10/2010 11:00:56 PM 546 Views
Then where are they? Joel - 13/10/2010 04:00:46 AM 613 Views
You have a faulty memory. Chat was incredibly active as late as 2007. Ghavrel - 13/10/2010 04:24:25 AM 691 Views
Again, that's people, and not/having Chat won't change that. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:45:40 AM 685 Views
Incorrect John - 13/10/2010 04:58:30 AM 706 Views
Initially only the person who started it can boot. Joel - 13/10/2010 05:12:27 AM 770 Views
Re: Initially only the person who started it can boot. BlackAdder - 13/10/2010 02:45:50 PM 634 Views
And me! Kronin al'Sulc - 13/10/2010 03:27:15 PM 633 Views
oops, sorry about that. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2010 03:42:33 PM 585 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 697 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 731 Views
So? Joel - 14/10/2010 04:52:37 AM 692 Views
Are you deliberately trying to not understand? John - 14/10/2010 05:54:16 AM 826 Views
Not deliberately. Joel - 14/10/2010 06:21:09 AM 705 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 687 Views
I doubt that as well, frankly. *NM* Legolas - 13/10/2010 03:32:33 PM 304 Views
Things aren't what they used to be... TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 10:46:04 PM 635 Views
No John - 13/10/2010 04:45:29 AM 612 Views
"Unmoderated" would be going too far. Joel - 13/10/2010 04:53:19 AM 756 Views
Most of the group consists of long-standing Wotmaniacs, so. *NM* Dan - 12/10/2010 05:25:39 AM 371 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 721 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 351 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 700 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 769 Views
Also, what qualifies as "good standing"? Who's the judge? *NM* Dan - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 411 Views
The one who wants to chat, of course? *NM* jh - 13/10/2010 07:23:15 AM 370 Views
Jonte is right. The judges are numerous. Each with their own motivations and interests. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/10/2010 11:10:04 PM 344 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 733 Views
Colorful. You big, gay elitist. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/10/2010 12:06:14 AM 376 Views
See Kit - 14/10/2010 05:42:21 AM 617 Views
we are Rafonauts now. Yunalesca - 13/10/2010 03:16:32 PM 580 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 758 Views
I sure hope you're right. Joel - 14/10/2010 05:04:26 AM 797 Views
I am RAFOlk. Joel - 14/10/2010 06:22:25 AM 602 Views
When I got facebook I stopped logging in to aim. Avendesora - 11/10/2010 01:24:26 AM 623 Views
There's a Chat if you want one. Joel - 10/10/2010 11:01:57 PM 737 Views
i wouldn't say mutely Yunalesca - 10/10/2010 11:40:13 PM 705 Views
Ditto. Stephen - 10/10/2010 11:53:32 PM 641 Views
Well, like I said, talk about something else. Joel - 11/10/2010 01:32:15 AM 651 Views
do you know how hard it is stopping sports fanatics talking about sports? Yunalesca - 11/10/2010 09:59:56 AM 743 Views
I'll usually shut up if someone carries another topic. Joel - 12/10/2010 04:25:19 AM 683 Views
I'd deign to chat with you, m'friend. *NM* LiterateDog - 13/10/2010 11:43:13 PM 333 Views
