RootsChat chatroom - how many rooms ??
« on: Thursday 06 November 08 18:17 UTC (UK) »

There are 6 rooms in the chatroom

Common Room 1

and
Common Room 2
England
Ireland
Scotland
Wales

Does anybody ever use any of the rooms besides the Common Room 1 ??

If they are just gathering dust and cobwebs, maybe we should get rid of them and save the expenses for the cleaning lady ??

Newcomers often have a wander around the rooms.

If common room 1 gets full there is sometimes an overspill into common room 2 - I'm not sure how often that happens these days.

Just heard that the main room, Common Room 1 only holds 20,
so the surplus automatically get the pleasure of cleaning up Common Room 2

Hi Bob

I think they just cause confusion.  However there would need to be some arrangements for dealing with the situation when Common Room 1 is full.

It sounds as if you are considering down-sizing.  If so, can you leave the facility to add new rooms please?  Some of those are so funny. Grin

I don't know whether we actually will change anything,
but I was interested to hear some reactions from chatroom users.

Would it be possible for room 1 to hold more than twenty as i have notice that quite often there has been more than twenty wanting to use it, if not you will have to keep room 2 for the overspill.

Lydart I don't know when you used chatroom, but I use it quite often and I would say the average age would be 40/50. You would be welcomed to come in anytime and you take things at your pace no one would hurry you.

Sometimes people sit in other rooms for a while when they don't like to leave but want a bit of peace, or have banished themselves. Jiminwales often goes to wales and MatthewR sometimes puts himself in England......... I like the chatroom the way it is (but the overflow into room 2 can be quite scary when you realise you are on your own......!)  Grin

I know I've gone in when it's been really busy and automatically went into Common Room 2, but then I just get someone on personal message in Common Room 1 and they invite me in and I get in that way.

Hi Lydart,

This thread encouraged me to go into the Chatroom for the very first time just a short while ago.

It was initially very puzzling - thinking back I suspect that was probably because there was no-one else there!

Then a couple of messages arrived saying a couple of people had entered the chatroom.  After a couple of boo-boos I twigged that there was a box down the bottom in which to post and send a message - so I did (asking for advice on using the chatroom).  Very helpful replies!

I've left while I think about it all.  I'll try again when there might be more people around  Smiley

Incidentally, I'm definitely not teens or 20s, and far beyond 40/50   Cry

Cheers,

JAP
