Bleh... I don't go in chatrooms anymore. .-. People get banned for the silliest things, and... it's just not worth it. So I prefer messaging.

Amen!! +1!!

This is the longest thing I've ever read...(I'm lying but this long) I like it tho ^•^

I live in Australia, NSW and get on at around 9pm. They're always dead around that time. o.o And all of the friends I could inbox have left (</3), so I'm all for this. :l

Great idea. I've avoided the chats for these reasons alone, but I do want to start using them again. Put this into action and it would do a lot of good.

Quoth IronShadow:

Alrighty, here's my take on why this is;

1. The whole Ip block thingie has not been allowing completely new members make an account. Many complaints on the helpdesk have been made stating that their friends haven't been able to make an account on here even though they are at a completely different IP than the friend who already has an account on here. I'm not quite sure if this has been happening to everyone, or just to a select few who attempt to make an account on here. I say this because summer on SDK usually marks a time where many new users come And go to the chats, and this summer, that hardly has happened.

2.Us admins being too uptight. This isn't for all the admins, just a good portion of us, we're so uptight on the rules that we ban for the littlest of things nowadays. I personally am like that sometimes, but have been becoming more lenient on my banning considering it is summer and people want to be with their friends. Banning people for talking in the RP chats is a big reason why people hid in their inbox for RP instead of the chats, and I personally think it's silly to ban someone for that (even though I have banned some people for that very reason, though just following what I thought were the rules) then it came to my attention that Hull never said for banning of that reason, the purpose of the Rp rooms was to direct roleplaying there and not the normal chats, but normal chatting is permitted. Getting a little sidetracked there, but anyways, we as admins on this site need to be more thoughtful and considerate of the users on here, yea they may be a pain and ask the most rhetorical questions, but that's why we were put into the position, to help those people out.

3.trolling is another big one as you stated in your blog. Trolling surprisingly happens a lot on here, on a daily basis, people getting under each others skin as much as they can to what I guess is for getting a good laugh? It drives people away, because no one wants to be trolled, be made fun of, or be disrespected. the chat rooms use to be a pretty chill place to hang out, could get some pretty interesting conversations started, and everyone was usually pretty decent friends to each other. Now people are constantly bickering and whatnot over the littlest of things, and that drives people away from something like the chat rooms. So grow up trolls, it was funny at one point, but it's going to far.

There's tons more reasons why the chats are dead, and I would go through more, but my hand hurt from typing all this out xD feel free to add on! Oh and good blog!

They started banning for talking in the rp rooms because trolls would go in and start arguments.

+1 anyways though, Noober Goober. x3

Quoth MaxiMillion:

Or you know, you could go out and live a little. Maybe that's what most people are doing right now during Summer, hmm?

I'm pretty sure people were living a little the past few summers. I'm pretty sure that's not the main reason.

& nice blog, IronShadow
