I felt i should make one more comment. I am happy to see how this all pans out but the feeling i had was that there is a divide between forum and chatters. Some forum (cafe)members complain bitterly about experiences in chatrooms A forum chat room would seem like a practical solution so hence " forum chat" I do so agree that I am looking at this in one direction ! but chatters who dare venture into the cafe are usually flamed so i can see this lounge being a good them. The fact that so far (ok its only been up a day) most posters are from the cafe makes me wonder if chatters are really that interested in forums at all ? as any problems apart from servers can be sorted out on line?or by pm in the usual way. Its also interesting to note that the dogging forum has its own "membership" who also seldom cross over ? and "lets meet up" just does what it says on the tin ! When i mention "forum chat" i don't see it as "my" room ! somebody has to host, and i agree other rooms have 50 plus people but then they are ok. and a "insert your own room here" forum would be crazy for every room on every server ! so i see the logic in doing this lounge and i am interested to see how this develops !

i give up

Quote by The Welcome Thread
This is a place dedicated to all matters concerning the Video Chatroom, whether they are good comments or bad. It is not another Cafe, nor is it a slow-motion Chatroom. It has been provided as it was felt that there needed to be a place for Chatroom Users to leave messages, for each other and for admin.

Quote by Chatroom Lounge
General discussion for all things related to the swingers chatroom. Use The Cafe for general chit-chat, this forum is specifically for the video chat room.

And all those people giving it "this will just make a bigger divide between chatroom and forum peeps" - I suggest asking yourself a question - What divide? - is it YOUR peception and attitude that makes this so called divide?
Fuck me, you moan if chatters DARE to post in the (Cafe) forum, and now there is a forum for chatters, thats fuckin' wrong as well mad

:banghead: - as far as I'm concerned, it's been a long time in coming, well done Admin!

May I just re-post this from earlier in the thread where I and a couple of other 'forumites' were feeling quite jubilant. rolleyes

Quote by Kiss_Me
Rather than create a further divide I think it could have the opposite effect! Kind of a 'no mans land'.
We can see the chat room worries and grumbles, should we choose to read them, rather than feeling anything negative, and maybe even get to know a few people! This may also encourage a few more folk to venture into the Cafe!
:happy:

Jon mate
All I can see at the moment is another place to moan in, be it by (dare I say it) Chatters or Forumites.
The next four weeks will tell one way or the other.
Have a cool drinkies

If that is what it becomes then so be it!!
At least the Ops will know where to look rather than moans being lost in the cafe!! wink

Personally I think it's a good idea, but it'll only work if we let it. Maybe give it a chance and see how it goes rather than dissing it before its had a chance would be a good idea.

in edit:
will Chatroom lounge be added to the shortcuts at the bottom or is it a wait and see kinda thing?

Actually No. And as your comments are directed at me, I'll answer them. You have cross posted my above comment from another thread. What I actually posted in this thread was ' so, its a forum for chatroom people? - with a question mark on the end
I posed a question to which you have given a contradictory answer:

It has been provided as it was felt that there needed to be a place for Chatroom Users to leave messages, for each other and for admin.

So, according to the above quote, it is a place (a forum) for chatroom users to leave messages for eachother - as in, talk to each other. Isnt the entire point and one of the big 'up's' of the chatroom that people talk to one another in real-time, and not in static messages? Therefore, I havent overlooked the point of this forum at all. It is for chatroom users, and its a forum. Where's the oversight?

So, you're telling me, that in the immediate time after a forum for chatroom users is created, that there isnt a divide? ffs rolleyes

'This forum is specifically for the videa chatroom'

That isnt my perception Jon, its right there in black and white.

Fuck me, you moan if chatters DARE to post in the (Cafe) forum, and now there is a forum for chatters, thats fuckin' wrong as well :banghead: - as far as I'm concerned, it's been a long time in coming, well done Admin!

We are all entitled to our opinions Jon, the beauty of the forum is that we can post them, and be damned. But we're still entitled. And your rant above, imo, is bollox.
Chatters imo are welcome to post in the Cafe, and I dont recall seeing anything to the contary? To my knowledge there has not been a 'you cant post in here because you're a chatroomer', has there? There hasnt been a munch or social that states 'this is for forum people only because chatroomers are not welcome', has there? People who cross over from chat to forum are encouraged & welcomed as far as I'm concerned, the main problem is that in the main, they dont. As has been mentioned in other threads, some of the chatroom users dont even know the forum exists :shock:
But this does raise the question in my head, that if there isnt a divide, why dont chatters use the existing forum? if there isnt a divide, why is there a now forum specifically for chatroomers? which imo far from encouraging participation in the forum forum ( :roll: ) seeks only to divide the two sections more.

we discussed the fact that even the mods seem more biased towards there own forum members than chatroom regs.
mark&nicky wrote I for one will be using this forum more now that us reg chat users have a place to go with out as 2 ops have now said being flamed for being in the cafe .

- just like that.
I cant be arsed with this. I recall a conversation as a newbie over coffee 12 months ago, slating someone for 'defending ' the forum (and the site generally) because at that time I couldnt see the point. I now understand exactly why people defend it, but no longer want any part of it.

Not a chance flipa

I know that there may be some confusion as to how this forum will work. Some people will be for it and some against it. Let's just see how it pans out and evaluate it in 4 weeks time.
If it has been of use it will stay - if it hasn't it will go!! Simple!!! confused

:? :?

:lol: :lol:

Dare I say this.
I like the idea of this. I am both a forum and a chat user and enjoy both equally well. I love the indepth conversations and debates that happen in forum ( also the light hearted playing too ) and I also enjoy the sit back and just enjoy the ride ( excuse the expression ) that can happen if you fall into a good chatroom ( also if you dont like the room you find ..er...create your own wink

). So for me I feel this place will be almost like a bridge between the two. Only time will tell but I do want to thank SH for at least trying to give more options to users both new and old alike, forum or chat users alike.
Ok, going back to my corner now. redface

As a Chatroom Op I found your comments offensive!! mad

To be brutally honest, I didn't really realise/remember that the Forum existed until directed here by RedHot a few days ago to contribute to the debate on the new chatroom features.
I think this place is great idea! Long may it continue!!

You cannot be serious! Is this a wind up or have you really censored my post. If so, i can't believe it....what on earth were you taking offense at???? Do you not see a tongue in cheek when it's staring at you in the face? I was not tying to be rude, just trying to lighten the mood in what was becoming a fairly intense thread.
Could you (the anonymous op editors) either tell me what the problem was or perhaps re-instate it so that everyone else can judge for themselves whether I was being offensive or breaching the rules

In my opinion, your contribution did nothing but inflame what was, as you pointed out, a needlessly intense thread. I found it offensive to those that use the chatroom (myself included) which in turn means it broke the AUP.
I am not going to get into a debate about it - that was my decision (and still is!) so move on, get over it and just be glad that despite breaking the AUP, you are still here to moan about it!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
