    we gotta do something about it. What can we do to help chat? we need a plan, i would like the admins to be in on this too, so it's more successful. And i've been alone at chat a lot lately, and i've seen other people alone too. in fact, just a sec ago, i was trying to amuse myself by TALKING TO THE AIR!!!! even ask galaxygirl, she arrived shortly after.

    Chat is a nice add on to the forums, not an essential part of the forums. If you've had enough of 'talking to air' as you've put it, go to a thread.

    Belive it or not, the Chatbox is actually making the forums more of a community, weather its dead or not, Now as to what there is to do about it, I think we should have more staff members online. The only bad thing is that most of the admins have jobs and stuff and arent as active as they used to be.

    Why would staff help boost chatbox activity?

    As if i know, I just noticed that when the staff is in the chatbox, everyone blows up and the chatbox gets insane!

    Because they are popular. For example everytime time I visit Sams page there are so many profile posts. :p
    I think the Chatbox is a nice addition but forums weren't just made for a chatbox a forum has lots of other ways to chat, by VM, PM or by posting in threads.:)

    The chat is supposed to be weekends only soon anyway, it was only up full time as schools are out (not all of them unfortunately)

    that does make sense, and u all have a point, but no one likes to be alone either. i mean, i was talking to AIR!!!!!!! that's how lonely it was, but it was surprisingly not helping.

    You could try not talking to air, and then you wouldn't be.

    I usually have a tab open for it during the week, so if anyone's on it, I'll usually hop into the conversation unless I'm really busy at the moment.

    I suggest we get rid of it completely :p Nah, I still haven't recovered from the trauma last time...

    The obvious solution would be to have it up between set times each day (after school/work for EU and US). But I suspect that wouldnt work so well...

    I'm not being very helpful here. :p

    or if we just had it up Friday and Saturday morning it'd seem more special and it'd flood up. kinda like Christmas morning, but without a flood.

    A flood of activity on the chat is not a good thing, it causes the server to crash

    Another reason why you don't want to save all the chat activity for the weekend.
