Hi you two
It was'nt too bad considering! I went on cam to see what it would be like and had only one or two whispers and a couple of comments that I did'nt particularly welcome but otherwise it could have been worse. I definately felt the atmosphere change though and when hosting it will always have it passworded as I know there are others out there that won't go on cam unless its locked. Imagine being in a nice cosy room with some friends and then suddenly getting a stream of people opening the door letting in the draught and then going straight back out again and ignoring the fact you've said hello. Thats what it was like!
Love

There are plenty of other locked rooms online every evening - the difference is we have no way of finding out their password.
We are a group of friends that wish to chat to each other and feel we can go on webcam without having to justify ourselves to each person who's looking for a sex show or something other than what we are doing etc.
It just so happens that some of us have become friends because we converse in the forums, and now fancy some real-time conversations and putting some faces to names.
Anyone who happens to read the forum chat thread can easily get the password and will be welcomed into the chat room, as you have been.
This is nothing to do with a divide between the forum and the chatroom - unless you want it to be.
having read this thread i have found it interesting....and i bet some of you are going to be surprised by what i am about to say......
I actually kinda agree with what markandnicky are trying to say......
in the time that we are talking about trying to bridge the divide between the forum and the chatroom...between the munches and the chatroom socials, i think that an oppotunity however small it is, is being lost by locking the room....we have missed a big trick!
what better chance to show off the forums at there best, give a chance for the chatroom to see people they wouldn't normally see online, a chance to show off other parts of the site....
to a person who doesn't know anything about the forum, it is then exclusive because they will never know about this... how are you suppose to enlighten them???
and if i originally used to chatroom, found the forum by mistake..read the thread only to find out some people created a room on the chatoom to keep most chatroomer out... i'd be miffed and would probably think that it was very cliquey....
i am going to admit that is the reason i hardly ever go in there..... because in a sense it is elitist and it isn't part of the person i am, and being honest if it was unlocked I would actually go in more often....
whoever has the keys to the room...just label the room "forum chat - no directing, no whispering" if anyone steps out of line... warn them, then if they do it again kick them... simple as!!!!!
I think they room would actually be busier if it was shown that you could keep a tight rein on a room, than locking it... and i know fire you know about this... because you were a regular in jo's room when people knew that the room owner whoever was in charge wouldn't put up with shit and had a strict set of rules.....

If I was sniping at you you would certainly know about it - that do for you?
Also please cast your mind back to your thread yesterday - I didn't post on it so you can forget that comment.
At the end of the day you are gutted that you got passed over for being a chatroom op and now it seems you are hell bent on ataining some sort of power/status that you believe is your due.
We/I are more than capable of running a room, with or without a password, I am entitled to used the chat system as I wish as long as I do not break any rules.
You still haven't answered my question - how does the room being locked affect you?
I will end it for the pair of you, lets try and stay away from the personal stuff at least publicly, here and elsewhere...taint worth it. If you've got a real gripe thats gonna drift into more than just opposing opinion then have a bash at each other through the P.M. system.
