I haven't been a member for very long but, I like the site the way it is personally. If chatting with absolute freedom of speech is your flavour, those inclined could always branch off and chat elsewhere at a common venue. I know it would not be as convenient as being on the site in real time, it would be the next best thing though and could still be fun.
Maybe someone should start IceInSpaceII the <R> rated version heh heh heh  |
Let's get this sorted out.
The 'Chatroom' has nothing to do with IceInSpace, it is not owned by IceInSpace, nor is it endorsed by IceInSpace.
It is not even connected to IceInSpace in any way.
You say "branch off and chat elsewhere at a common venue".
That's exactly what it is! You already have your wish
It is a totally seperate entity that belongs to Doug, who happens to be a member in IceInSpace among other Forums, who makes
his chatroom available free of charge for all to use.
It is purely by Doug's invitation that the chatroom is available for anyone.

It is NOT an 'Astronomy Only' place. It is a chatroom without restrictions, but Doug may delete any person who he believes is ruining the chatroom for others.
Now, can the drama's about 'Astro Content' and other expectations go away.
If you have a problem with it, PM the owner of the chatroom.
If it isn't Astro enough for people, you can go open an 'Astronomy' chatroom. No-one is stopping you.
I personally like going into Doug's chatroom and chatting with the others in there about non-astro stuff
And some nights it gets quite busy in there which shows that there are a lot of members happy to get together and not talk Astro, and thankyou to Doug for providing a place for us to chinwag
