There used to be a thread for anyone who was on their own in Mudchat to try and get others to come in. Could it be revived?

If you do go in please wait a while (read the rest of the site or something) before logging out as I keep missing people.

Did Max give the go-ahead on Chat? I haven't heard anything, and it seems to me that we still have some technical problems that appear to be due to limited resources.
The "Wanna Chat?" PermaThread is here (click). Please don't resurrect it until we have confirmation that Max says it's OK to use Chat.

Joe, as you suggested, I asked Max and he said "Chat room is ok to go. Enjoy." I then told him I'd make an appropriate announcement.

I didn't realise it hadn't been working. There never seems to be anyone there when I look. Probably there are many who do what I do instead of going in and waiting for someone to chat to. Next time I will stay and see who turns up :)

Refreshing and retitling this thread, since Art says that Max says that

it's OK to use MudChat.

Have fun!!

I know some of you will think I'm very ignorant/silly and have led too sheltered a life, but I've never been in a chatroom.
What is the difference between chatting/chatrooms and what we are doing here?

Immediate response topsie. You are posting to people who are actually there, and you get 2 way conversation.

Mudchat is a little like MSN Topsie except with several people at the same time.

LIVE action. You have to read fast to keep up if there are very many in. Often, there are several conversations going on at once too

It's like a conference call, only with typing and not talking. Also, once it's over, it's over. If you have a conversation in a thread here, anybody who logs in can see it. If you get into a chat with someone about something a bit sensitive, once it's over, it's over, and the only people who can see it are the ones in the room.

And you can also talk privately between 2 people in the room if you want to.

Thanks everyone for explaining. I think I'm better off here - I am a bit slow at reading on screen and not too fast at typing, and I keep needing to go off and do something else, and come back later, so this suits me fine.

Lets me in and I can type messages. Even though it says I am not logged in it asks to log out when leaving.

Seems like progress

I got in on my other computer, which is running XP. This one is Vista, and I get a blank screen. Both computers/chat logins give me that 'you are not logged in' message, but like John, I can talk to myself with XP.

A clue?

I wonder how the request for donations went. I think lots of us are pretty tapped out, but then again, lots of us could donate a little.

I still like Max's idea of looking for a new chat. Especially one which could be "read back" for a while. That would help to discourage people being disrespectful when moderators are not present.

I'm in Mudchat at the moment. It told me I couldn't log on etc but I just ignored it and went in anyway. You have to try a couple of times but it really does work.

Hope to see you there!

OK, I'm still there but I didn't see you.

Ignore the previous posts about being able to use it - obviously I'm wrong.

Well, just to be part of the in-crowd, I tried it myself...no joy, and the page was very unstable. Thinking back on what I just did, I think it was pretty dumb - especially if it messes up something Max is trying to fix! Maybe it would be a good idea for us all to leave it alone until Max says we can go back and play again.

I talk to myself all the time. Only natural. I am most interested in me.

I even get into arguments with myself. I worked in mental health before and was told that it is nothing to worry about.

The problem is when I get into fist fights with myself.

I always win...

No I don't

YES I DO

YOU ARE SUCH A FAT LIAR!

It's okay to ask yourself questions.

It's okay to answer yourself.

But, if you ask yourself, "What did you say?", well.....

I used to get into fights with myself, but one day I got into a knife fight (right vs. left, top vs. bottom, and everyone taking sides) and sought therapy after I got out of the Emergency Room.

Answering yourself is ok...it's when you disagree with the answer that you know you're in trouble.
