....Or we can just create a secret chat only "Established Users" can access. That will pretty much solve all these shenanigans. But on a serious note, I can see that Chat has changed, well in the short time that I've been here. There was a time in late October where I would look forward to going into chat and would not sign off until about midnight. Now the frequent times that I do go in, I'm pretty much faced with one of two things: Teen drama, or humongous 6.7 genitelia..... both which are really put-offish.
But, it seems we keep complaining about the annoying newbies, that chat is not the same, that they think they are the shit. Well, as James said, we make the space we live in, and if people want to bring back the old chat, they should try going into chat more regularly to create an atmosphere that promotes the old values. If there are enough people there, then the newbies won't get out of line, and hey, maybe they can see what chat is about.
