"Unmoderated" would be going too far. Joel Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 04:53:19 AM
The idea of an unmoderated chat with those I understand to be regulars in your Skype chat doesn't appeal to me at all. By the way, my post wasn't meant as a complaint, but you were correct about me being wistful. I miss the old days in chat.

However, your tone in this post implies that I'm not willing to make any effort. I would correct that to I'm not willing to make an effort for what's currently out there.

For one thing, that's why there's more than one chat; the Creator can't boot or ban anyone they like, and make other people "Masters" to do the same things. Creators can also edit everyones comments, so it's important to pick a good one.

As for the other, same deal; there's a perfectly good chat out there, even if you have to start it yourself. You can add or not add anyone you like, and it stays there as a "conversation" so every time you return it updates what everyone said. Or you can turn off your notifications for that conversation, close it, and be done till you want to return. Who shows up, and who you call, is entirely up to you and them. Believe me, I know. If no one's interested, no one's interested, and that's that, and I still don't expect that to change if RAFO gets its own chat, but, like I say, prove me wrong.

I've already had several days like that. Yet people keep insisting RAFO is better without chat. *NM* - 10/10/2010 05:29:46 PM 347 Views
it depends which chat we get. - 10/10/2010 05:44:58 PM 546 Views
You're in the Skype Chat now, btw. - 10/10/2010 10:59:24 PM 473 Views
When chat used to be down for long stretches, everyone would just pile into AIM chat. - 10/10/2010 06:54:33 PM 616 Views
Which they could easily do with Skype and get voice, yet no one does. - 10/10/2010 10:56:55 PM 643 Views
The idea of voice chat creeps me out on so many levels *NM* - 11/10/2010 12:34:22 AM 600 Views
So don't do voice; we rarely do. - 11/10/2010 07:35:33 AM 599 Views

Is that why the Edinburgh gathering pics are always nothing but sign language and dirty gestures? *NM* - 11/10/2010 10:36:00 PM 336 Views
Come and find out *NM* - 11/10/2010 10:48:56 PM 220 Views
The group that is popularized as being a part of that is not enticing to long standing wotmaniacs. *NM* - 11/10/2010 03:29:57 AM 358 Views
This. *NM* - 11/10/2010 04:43:52 AM 212 Views
Then that, again, seems a problem that coding can't solve. - 11/10/2010 07:33:32 AM 635 Views
I don't think most want to download another program when they had it so easy before. - 11/10/2010 10:39:55 PM 655 Views
Honestly, I think the "one time event" is the biggest problem. - 12/10/2010 04:20:04 AM 652 Views
I disagree. I don't think enough people think it worth the effort to deal with Skype. - 12/10/2010 04:28:21 AM 563 Views
What effort? - 12/10/2010 04:38:42 AM 540 Views
The effort beyond clicking two buttons. - 13/10/2010 04:25:57 AM 422 Views
Install, make a SN and search for people you email. - 13/10/2010 04:43:09 AM 599 Views
Re: - 12/10/2010 11:00:56 PM 436 Views
Then where are they? - 13/10/2010 04:00:46 AM 510 Views
You have a faulty memory. Chat was incredibly active as late as 2007. - 13/10/2010 04:24:25 AM 571 Views
Again, that's people, and not/having Chat won't change that. - 13/10/2010 04:45:40 AM 574 Views

Initially only the person who started it can boot. - 13/10/2010 05:12:27 AM 651 Views

oops, sorry about that. *NM* - 13/10/2010 03:42:33 PM 475 Views
What do you mean where are they? There isn't a chat linked to the site. - 13/10/2010 10:44:10 PM 627 Views
So? - 14/10/2010 04:52:37 AM 591 Views
Are you deliberately trying to not understand? - 14/10/2010 05:54:16 AM 707 Views
Not deliberately. - 14/10/2010 06:21:09 AM 601 Views
I doubt that as well, frankly. *NM* - 13/10/2010 03:32:33 PM 263 Views
Things aren't what they used to be... - 13/10/2010 10:46:04 PM 522 Views

"Unmoderated" would be going too far. - 13/10/2010 04:53:19 AM 637 Views
Most of the group consists of long-standing Wotmaniacs, so. *NM* - 12/10/2010 05:25:39 AM 322 Views
I probably didn't phrase that right. Maybe an -er after long and an "in good" before standing. - 12/10/2010 11:02:30 PM 606 Views
Also, what qualifies as "good standing"? Who's the judge? *NM* - 13/10/2010 05:36:23 AM 367 Views
The one who wants to chat, of course? *NM* - 13/10/2010 07:23:15 AM 322 Views
Jonte is right. The judges are numerous. Each with their own motivations and interests. *NM* - 13/10/2010 11:10:04 PM 298 Views
I'd fuck myself to death with a spike of frozen cat piss before I'd chat with that skype crowd. - 13/10/2010 11:42:16 PM 632 Views

we are Rafonauts now. - 13/10/2010 03:16:32 PM 467 Views
Yeah, I know, I came up with the term. Many still consider the "old gang" as "wotmaniacs" though. - 13/10/2010 11:01:58 PM 649 Views
I sure hope you're right. - 14/10/2010 05:04:26 AM 645 Views

Well, like I said, talk about something else. - 11/10/2010 01:32:15 AM 567 Views

I'll usually shut up if someone carries another topic. - 12/10/2010 04:25:19 AM 572 Views
