This chat room thing sounds like fun. I'm on there now being a loner checking it out

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

It usually all starts to happen after about 8.30pm. Once dinner is over and the kiddlies are all locked up safely in their roooms.
It's not unusual for the action to keep going until 2am.
Great company for when you're out \at the scope.

Don't know about chatting about everything? could end up a mud slinging match although it could be good if it was Astronomy related etc...

Hi,

In my experience it is generally quite civilised. There have been one or two slightly sharper exchanges but nothing like you get in the forums here sometimes .

It's much more like what you would hear when sitting round a fire with a drink, even to having 2 or even 3 conversations going. It is not moderated live though, so the same degree of good manners is required.

There are some topics which come up more often, eg astrophotography (I don't know why that would be ), however you can raise any reasonable subject.

Try it sometime. It won't always be that anyone is there though as there is no schedule I know of

Cheers

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against chatting. Although, Mike has pointed out as you all know, this site is open to all ages. Some material may not be appropriate. Last thing you want is bad reputation for the site because someone blabbed the wrong thing, or in the wrong manner, or a slip of the tongue etc...then we all pay the price.

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

There is no need to do that, for the very reasons Geoff mentioned in his post that you quoted.
