Does anyone use the chat room?

I do open the chat room from time to time, but almost never see anyone there.

I guess I should have posted here, rather than making a new topic. I've hopped in the chat room a few times lately too, only to find it empty. I think the previous suggestion that some of us just hang out there a while, while we're doing other things on the computer, might get it going again.

I'm new here, but when I read these messages I jumped into the chatroom and found someone else waiting there. We had a nice conversation for at least a half hour.

The chat system they have here seems to be great.. compared to other sites. Yet whenever i took a look, there was noone in there. Guess either most do not know it is there.. or most have no time to look.

I poke my head in there pretty often, but if no one's there I don't stay long.

Like you, there is nobody there most of the time but I have chatted with a couple of people

Perhaps there should be a time when people will try to be there; sounds like there's enough interest.

Hi,

After checking at least 500 times in the past year or so, I finally got to chat with someone tonight named TickleDom. It was fun and hope to find someone to chat with again sometime.

Just to let you know, more chat is starting to happen lately. Keep checking in.

*lm*

I like to use the chat room, but there are times when I am the only one in there.

Hi, guys! From time to time I enter the chat only to be the only one in front of the mirror Which time (american or european) is the best to find people and chat with somebody. Could we, as a community, consent about a detrmined time and day to all jump in and have fun?
XXX to all the gals.

I agree, I think the first thing we should do when we turn our computers on is head straight for the chatroom, I am there most evenings and keep it sitting in the back ground should someone else log on. I know this might be difficult for some people who are fleeting visits for whatever reason, but I am sure we would all benefit from it. Its why we love this site along with the stories, and its great to talk to like minded people.

Inspired, I went straight to chat and there was actually someone there!!!

And then they left, immediately....
oh well...I'll be there until I go off line..

hmmm...and another quick visitor came and went. Curious...I wonder if they're really very shy. Or perhaps I smell too much of sex...

lol...'night all!

rats. I think that was me. I rarely get a chance to log in and sometimes have to leave abruptly. though of course I'm in there now all alone.

Or a quirk of the system. I often go in and it looks like someone left at the exact same minute I came in - too often for it to be all coincidence. I think there's something about the system that shows the last person who was in before you with the wrong time stamp or something.

If this is inapproriate I humbly apologize (and please delete at will, O mods, if it is), but the thought occurred to me that private chat windows in the chatroom could be a place for two (or more) people who were so inclined to engage in either some directed-tease or synchronous self-teasing/edging fun. I suspect I'd have an easier time not giving in to the desire to orgasm if I knew someone was there sharing in my frustration, forcing herself to hold back just as I am. Of course, I also suspect I wouldn't be much good at teasing and typing at the same time, but I'd give it a try.

If you click on a person's name in the list on the right, one of the options is to open a private chat.

Happy teasing!

*lm*

darnit, I'm such a bad chatroom rat. Twice in the last day I've left the chatroom window open when I went off to another room to do something and when I got back discovered that people had come and gone and I missed them. drat! sorry folks, I wasn't being unfriendly, I just missed you.

Chatrat!

I'm trying out the chat now, though the UI it seems rather laggy to me; slow to respond. Does anyone else experience this?

I should try it on my Windows laptop (I use Linux on my desktop) and see if it makes a difference.

Just a note, if anyone is ever in chat with me and I suddenly disappear, it's probably my computer crashing. And if I'm slow to respond that's probably the computer's fault too. ^_^

[Edit] It seems a lot more responsive on the laptop, so I guess I'll just log in from there.

I had a great time in the chatroom a few nights back, but every other time I've been there including now I find myself all alone. Is this just some further dimension of tease and denial? You just can't have good chat when you think you want it?

Well I want it.

Is this just some further dimension of tease and denial?

Now there's a thought for some of the longer-term denial fans. No orgasms until you go into the chat and find someone to give you permission. Could be a while, as sparse as the chat's been lately

Sadly, the chat seems to not be very active lately, and I'm not sure why. There used to be a few regulars, but like you, I find the chat mostly empty when I'm there, and I'm there pretty much whenever I'm available.

Of course, I work late, so it's possible that everyone just happens to be there when I'm at work. ^_^

FlashChat (according to the help file) has the ability to export a "Who's Chatting" block, so people outside the chat can see if there's somebody chatting. I don't know how easily it can be integrated with DruPal though; the help page doesn't seem to have specific instructions for it.

It might encourage people to use the chat more if, when they log in, they can see that there's already someone in there.
