Is it just me being unlucky or is the chatroom broken as of today???
Nope ! Just ventured in there to test it for you and it was as mad as usual !
I'd suggest closing your browser, and going back in again. Make sure you give the java applet time to load and run when you start the chatroom up - that usually works for me.

Hi Neil,
No the chatroom was not broken, but a lot of people who were not registered members had difficulty accessing it round lunchtime yesterday.
This was due to someone (I assume it to be one of the Starchat Gods) setting the mode for the room to +r. This meant that only registered members could use the chatroom. I was opping in the room during that period and what a joy it was to be there. No unwanted pvt messages, no abuse of room members, in fact, no problems at all. I even got the chance to chat to others in the room (that makes a change).
During this period there was only about 25 in the room. After about an hour the room mode was changed by a Starchat God to -r. Thirty seconds later the number in the room jumped from the mid 20's to 60+.
Immediately the chaos began with some of the people entering the room not following the chatroom rules.
Recently there has been a large influx of new people into the chatroom, many of these do not read, or choose to ignore, the rules. This leads to discord which, to be honest, spoils the room for the genuine folks who go there.
The recent loss of a number of chatrooms with Microsoft closing theirs down, has resulted in a large number of chatters looking for somewhere to go. The recent Press and TV publicity given to 'Swinging' has also brought this site to the attention of many people who didn't know it existed. This has unfortunately brought with it a load of time wasters and people who have nothing better to do with their lives than disrupt the chat of genuine people.
Mark who founded this site and runs it free of charge, has, in his wisdom, left the running and regulation of the Chatroom to the System Operators.
(these are the people with an @ in front of their name in the chatroom).
The rules of the room have been carefully constructed by the SyOps to permit the room to run smoothly for the benefit of the members. The SyOps also have strict rules which they must obey. A SyOp can also be removed if he/she doesn't adhere to the regs. (Not many people know that)
The discord caused by troublemakers recently is of deep concern to the SyOps, and we are looking into alternative methods which will keep out these disruptive elements permanently. The +r mode is one of several possibilities being considered.
Sorry you had problems accessing the chatroom yesterday, but it apparently wasn't Swinging Heaven at fault.
