But I believe people would flood in initially if it were made available again. How well it did after the initial "Shiny!" wore off would then depend on who participated and how enjoyable the conversation was.
I fully acknowledge that apathy might set in over time and all the work coding the thing would be for naught after it eventually fell into disuse and abuse.

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*

Is that why the Edinburgh gathering pics are always nothing but sign language and dirty gestures? *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.

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

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

What do you mean where are they? There isn't a chat linked to the site.

I have to admit that I highly doubt I would ever participate if a revived chat were installed

I doubt that as well, frankly. *NM*

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*

I'd fuck myself to death with a spike of frozen cat piss before I'd chat with that skype crowd.

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