once in awhile. not very often actually.

i used to love to go to the chatroom. life is too hectic. i feel bad when i have to leave or i can't reply fast enough because of home distractions.

i do know that if no one is there and you log on, usually someome will come in.

we used to have a thread on social chat that the chatters subscribed to. we just posted when went in and then more followed pretty fast.

I had to chat for my capstone class last November, it was required for part of the class and we spent a lot of hours doing so. It was exhausting for me but I did it anyway. I really can't see myself doing it for enjoyment.

I'd go to chat but there always seems to be a (0) after "Chat Rooms" which I'm assuming means there's nobody there.

Interesting. Thanks to those who have responded so far.

A couple of things jump out at me. Some have mentioned that they don't have the energy, or can't keep up. I've tried the chat rooms on a couple of other sites, and things moved WAY too fast for me. I didn't know who was talking to whom, what they were talking about, and if I had to leave and come back in two minutes, I was toast.

If this has been your experience, try the one here sometime!

The other thing is, I think everybody's waiting for somebody to "be there", but if nobody goes first, there will never be anybody there.

I feel kind of silly sitting in the lounge all by myself sometimes, but sure enough, somebody will drop in eventually.

Amen to your statement there Blessings! Everyone sit back and wait for the OTHER person to show up in chat room..no one will ever come in there. Months ago we would get sometimes up to a dozen in the chat room in evenings. Now we're lucky to get ONE !!
I know it's summer, everyone's outside enjoying the warm weather, not sitting at their computers near as much...but when you ARE, give the chat room a try. I did, I love it! But recently seem to be sitting there for half an hr or more alone, waiting for someone else to show up
