Is the chat room closed permanently?
 
The last several times I have logged into the chatroom--no chatters. Is it permanently closed? Also, will the Summit Landing webcam be working again? Enjoyed both of these so very much. Hope they return.

Soon to be Villager

webdeb,

Chat room is alive and well....normally comes to life after 9pm Eastern time and usually fizzles by 11. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

It is available 24x7 just normally active after 9 pm.

Please forgive me for this lack of knowledge but:

What goes on in the chat room and do you have to be a fast typist to keep up?

TK...

Mostly silliness and stream of consciousness conversation; very friendly; NO Politics; stop in one night and check it out.

You don't necessarily have to be a fast typist...better to be a fast reader; the pace can be pretty quick.

Thanks V07. I will check in one night when I have the courage but not tonight. Glad to hear "no politics". Is it considered rude to just sit and "listen" and not participate too much? Especially at the beginning of the learning curve. You folks are a lot brighter than Tkret and I would be holding up the group. But, I will enter the room soon and just listen to the conversation at first. Thank you. This is such a great service.

The chat room is indeed live and well as Ms 07 said. In fact she is one of the first to populate it along with myself and Donna and an assortment of members that have come and gone. Kathie likes to call herself the "room greeter" probably as a result of her training at Walmarts. Stop by and introduce your self around 9 PM. Usage during the summer months is less due to the outdoor activities and will pickup with the fall cool nights coming. The record for number of members chatting at one time is 18 (check with Dicky on this)

Great info Handieman. 18 participants on at one time; wow! but how does one get a word in edgewise? Yes, I guess one of these nights I will have to visit and see it in action; but I'm keeping my mouth shut (fingers off the keyboard).

tkret,

Do not worry about typing fast....as long as you read fast, you are all set....
Just get ready for lots of laughs.

PS...I am not a fast typist either....but I do join in when I can, other wise I just sit in the
corner and read !!!!!!!!!

Come join the fun.. I will save you a seat....

I have never been in a chatroom in my life.

Of course, I had never been on a board in my life.

I am afraid of the chatroom.

I can't see in the dark.

I have to look sometimes when I type.

I would not be able to type and look at the screen at the same time and then I would not be able to answer anybody and then you would all think I was just being rude and it would just all be too much and I need to stay out of the kitchen

I went to the chat room just to see what it was like, and when I didn't say much, I was called a "lurker" which didn't seem too friendly. Thus I quit the chat room. Seems like a few people dominate the chat room and apparently know each other. I hear more chat rooms are coming so that groups that want to be left alone can isolate themselves. FWIW
