    I was in a few days ago but had to leave to sleep (I get up at 0230 for work) as I go to bed early the nights before I work. There was five or six of us in there at the time and we had a lot of fun!

    I was on another site where not many used the chat room tell someone came up with the idea of trying to get everyone to be there a couple of times a week at a pre set time. After a bit of time there was always someone in the chat room

    Yeah, its always tomorrow where Boof lives...

    That is a good idea BullMoose.  Let me look at the site stats and see what day and times we typically have the most users.  We will then post it and I will also have a note pop up at login during those times to remind people to check out the chat session.

    That is a great idea. I check chat every-time I come here and have only found someone to chat with a few times.

    Ok, going to try the idea of a couple designated Chat times to see if that gets the Chat going.  I looked at the past history of the site, and the most active times are  2pm and 10pm (Eastern Time), so we are going to start with those on Tuesdays & Thursdays.  I will post this at the top of the user login page, along with reminders as the next time nears.  We'll try that for a bit and see how it works.

    I have had a couple of people ask that since we have the Chat Session schedule, if that is the only time Chat is available.  The answer is NO, Chat is still available to use anytime 24/7.  We only set up the schedule to try to have time where you could be assured you will find someone to chat with.  You are welcome, and encouraged, to use Chat any time!!!

    Hi Rory - I've been on here roughly between 9pm and 12 am UK time and found folk to chat to - mainly Boof, Az and Lucky - but other guys have popped in too if that helps. If you're checking in around these times it'll be good to catch ya (o:

    Hey Lucky, So far from what I have seen the new chat schedule seems to help get users in chat at the same time. I have been there a couple of times and found some good people to talk to. I am just wondering why only Tuesday and Thursday. Maybe instead of to times on each of those days, you could stagger the times over the week.

    Just a thought.

    My first "CF Chat" experience......
    I stepped into the chat room and found myself staring at a blank screen...kind of comical in my head...first thought was, "its kind of quiet in here", (I literally said that in my head!) so i typed "helllloooooo" and thought, well maybe there would be an echo, It was after a few minutes of sitting and staring at the screen and wondering, wow maybe its a private place, and Im intruding...hummmm Exit stage left!!! After a few frustrating minutes trying to figure out how to get the hell outta there, "refresh! shut down, then restarted! LMAO now!!! I realized I was the only one in there.... I most definitely have a fine tuned ability to laugh loudly and regularly at myself! Feel free to join me there!!!
    Suppose I'll try that again sometime soon!.... :->

    Set up a schedule!!! & tell us how to get in there. I miss chat rooms.

    Thanks

    ^^^^^LOL @ grennal!!!!!!!!!!
    Guess we're all talking to ourselves LMAO!!!

    I try to stop in a few times a week, even if no one is there. If they see someone is in chat, someone will usually peek in. And I DO hear an echo!

    looks like im propping up the chat thing again..Lucky old mate we may need a few more features in the chatroom to make it more popular..Cheers BOOF

    Shake it up BOOF!!
    One thing I don't like, is there's no history. You don't know who was in chat, or when. If you knew, you could contact them, and see if they were interested in chatting, and set up a "meet".

    And HI Syd!!!!!!
