    A weekly chat?

    One thing I liked when I first joined a few months ago was the idea of a weekly chat. I know with time zones it can be difficult to pick just ONE time, but maybe we can come up with a few so that those who are online might decide to pop into chat to see if anyone else is around?

    For a while, the chat room was jumping. I know with back to work, and school a lot of us don't have as much free time as we did even 3 or 4 months ago, but there's no reason we can't have 4 or 5 of us in at a time for scheduled chats---I think?

    So, what do you think? What times and days would you suggest? I'd say post your times in EST or PST for those in the US, GMT for those who are elsewhere? Since us Americans are more used to converting in our heads for time zones here instead of GMT offsets, it might make it easier for us to discuss the times and be on the same page? And I am pretty sure most of the rest of the world uses GMT +or- the particular offset for their zone...correct me if I am wrong please?

    I'm all for a time for people to pop in and see what's up? ^^ I live in EST (-5 GMT IIRC). Normal living times I'm around online doing whatever are early evenings while my boyfriend is off eating dinner with family. Usually 7pm or 8pm to about 10pm or 11pm. Kinda late, I know ^^;; Or I'm up all hours of the night. XD

    Saturday and Sunday afternoons might be good for people?

      How was the old time for everyone? I never go to the chat very much so I'm not sure! The old time was 8pm to midnight EST

        I think Friday, Sat or Sunday evenings will probably be best.... Just the whole people on the other side of the dateline stuff LOL

        For awhile the chatroom would be busy from about 9 til around 11 EST then school started back and it slowly trickled off. It may work, plus having a new chatroom that's not associated with webs is a good thing and might encourage more people to come in.

          Actually, I don't think anybody really used those times... I know I would sometimes pop in during those hours once or twice and there wouldn't be anybody there.

          I'm in the EST time zone. I'm usually online every night during the weekdays, and typically all day Sunday. More times than not I am home on Friday/Saturday nights, but I can't make any promises that I'll consistently be around then. I definitely would like to have weekly chats though, it's a lot of fun when there's a lot of people around in the chat!

            Okay, that's what I thought. It would be nice to post a time for everyone, but I don't think anyone will really go along with it. The chatroom seems to get the most action when people post that they are in the room.

              I went on the old chatroom about a week or two ago, and there was loads of people on.
              And most of the people had really inappropiate names, I knew it couldn't have been anyone
              on here.

                I had protected that chat room page on the old site, but the chatroom I was using, because it was free, it made our room public, so other chatrooms that showed a list of different rooms would show ours, so people who weren't even in long distance relationships would join it.

                Thankfully this new one is totally private and only members can get in it.

                  That was really successful on the Webs site, but I'm not so sure it would work as well here because there's no Recent Posts area on the side of the page where it showed up and stuff. I dunno, I could be wrong, it's always worth a shot.

                    I think that would be nice. I'm not around here much anymore but maybe I'll be able to pop in once and a while in the chatroom!

                      using the "What's New?" tab in the navbar is similar because it shows the most recent posts.

                      We'll see. I am looking into getting aweber so I can email everyone successfully, and it might be good to send a reminder email about chats to people when I do the regular updates.
