How come people seem to chat in here then as opposed to the chatroom? Or am I missing something here.

OOooo look at that. I would of missed this thread if it was in the chat room and I would be none the wiser who SurreyPhil was.
Sorry Phil, I think you are missing the whole point of the forum against chatroom dilemma. Mind you, could you imagine if all of the forum members came into the chatroom one night? That is well over 11500 users. Who would get a word in? in would be able to read that quickly? What if one person would miss the session then they would never know what had been said.
That is one of the reasons we chat in here. The other is so we can all perv at the gorgeous avatars and funny gifs Sgt Bilko brings to us.
Thanks, just tried the chat room and I see what you mean
The chat room requires your undivided attention because it's real-time. The forum allows a delayed response when you're busy doing other things, which wouldn't be possible in chat. You can't do chat room type chat in the forum and you can't do forum type chat in the chat room. They're completely different and don't really bear the comparison you're making.

Tried the chatroom a couple of times but couldn't keep up with the speed of things - and I'm a pretty mean typist too!
i know how you feel, it does take a certain knack to follow at times, especually if several unrelated conversations are going on at once, which is often the case - I suggest visiting at an off-peak time, and liberal use of the 'ignore' button.
p.s. am i greedy 'cos i do both...chatroom and forum?
What???? A Chatroom?? I thought it was a room where people went to confuse themselves holding different conversations with about a nano-second to keep up with the thread as there's another thread confusing the fuck out of things!
Hell I think I've confused meself there!!!
I think there are funnier comments made on the forum sites and you can keep returning to particular threads etc.. update then catch up... you get it?
Another good thing about a forum versus a chatroom is that knee jerks reactions are rarer and therefore it is less likely you will get banned for life for an off the cuff comment as happens in chatrooms...
To me...
A lot...
I must get these cuffs ironed.
