Thread Name: Help: Does Mudcat have a chat room?
Subject: RE: Help: Does Mudcat have a chat room?
There is currently no Mudcat Song Circle, it was the name that I used for the first Paltalk gathering but I have re named my room and pulled out of Mudcat events. Anyone else could start a room with that name if they wished to.

When I started the Folkchat ICQ Active List, I did tried to keep the server running as much as possible but the room was never used outside Mudcat Radio (which is the only time it has opened since Max kindly took it over). Before that, there was the Java based Mudcat Prototype Chat but that seemed to fizzle out and rarely had anyone there.

I might be wrong (and am perhaps basing this in part on my own inclinations) but it has been my impression that, with the exception of events where something happens like the singing, or the radio, the people here who use chat programs are perhaps more inclinded to have small, perhaps one to one chats than join in a general Mudcatter's chat.
