Has the chatroom had its day??

I raised this subject of multiple occupation in chatrooms a while ago. I think its desrupting chat, as many people go into several rooms and dont chat in any of them.
I am reasonably lucky as many people that visit my room on server 2, say that its one of the friendliest rooms as we all chat to everyone. We like to make people welcome. But the onus of course is on the chatters themselves to make the room buzz and vibrant.
I suppose one of the things that makes my room work is the chat is not excluselive about sex, we do politics, music, general stuff, we debate and argue, but its all in good spirit and it comes back to sex in the end.
I do my utmost also not to make it cliquey, and involve all that come in, then they do tend to stay and chat.
The hosts of rooms have a responsibility to make their room welcoming, and this is the most important thing I feel.
Since the new format has come in, we have lost the music aspect as sound doesnt seem to work, this is a shame.
Come on SH take away the multi occupation facility and let people chat in the room they want to be in, and not flutter about all over the place. This is what i think would make things better again.

I agree with that... have seen several people in rooms on all servers at the same time, taking up spaces & making it impossible for others to get in rooms. It also can be very cliquey- why cant the core groovy gang set up their own room if they only want to speak to each other.

ive got to say FFS why do people sit in a romm when they aint there.???
chat is shit cause no ones even really there.
can we pleeeasseee have a time out function... if someone want to vouyer fair enough, but they will be viewing a cam, so not be inactive, but if no ones talking for more than say 15 mins then make it a auto log out.
its runing the chat, noone bothers to go in cause no one fucking chats.
why do people do it???

we have noticed the change in the rooms over the last few months, we were talking about this before xmas long before the extra cams came along, we thought it was us just being so used to it now after 4 years lol, maybe like everything else it has a quiet time, the good thing is you can now turn the whispers off disable them, yeah its got its + and - but if someone is annoying you just switch it off for a while soon get the message.

I certainly hope the chatroom hasn't had it's day!!!! Bizarre as it may be, it's sometimes my one bit of sanity of an evening. As a single-mum with small kids who live with me most of the time, I can't do real live meets most evenings. So If I go into chat just to flirt and catch up with my mates does that mean I'm not a proper swinger??? Should we only be using the chat rooms when we're actively hunting for action???
As a single girl, and couples I've spoken to have said the same thing to me, if I put my cam on I can be inundated with people who think that because my cam is on I'm either a) going to get my bits out or b) am gagging for a meet. My feet are very firmly planted on the ground (well - when they're not up on the air, he he) and I realise this is purely a statistical thing as we're so heavily outnumbered on here. But the point I'm very slowly trying to make is - that the chat rooms for me, are quite often just that - a chance to chat with likeminded folk. The majority of my RL friends are all very happily and vanillaly (??) married, raising young kids, blah blah and good on em, but it means I don't have a huge pool of people to ring and chat to of an evening - so if it weren't for the chat rooms, I'd quite often not have a conversation with anyone after about 7pm when my kids go to bed.
Things have been a bit quiet recently, but then over the past few years I've seen quiet periods come and go, as different people take breaks or drop off the scene temporarily for one reason or another. I've had some great nights in chat recently with just 4 people in the room (you other 3 you know who you are!!!!!) - and equally nights in a full room where I just haven't been in the mood or been particularly interested in what was being discussed.
I definitely think chat is worth dipping into from time to time, even if it's not as good as you remember it to be - because there's always the chance you'll spark up an interesting conversation with either an old or new friend, and that's what, for me, makes it all worthwhile.

i think so. i hardly speak or come on cam.. simply coz there are far to many men that are just after web cam fun. to me, no don't like it.
seems its properly better going back to pubs and picking men up again these days. least u know ur gonna get a shag in person..
not saying i have got it wrong i have meet men that do actually meet. but still puts u off thinking about meeting someone new for nsa x
