Chat's not being used

[Markus Ramikin 107]

I think it's because it's set to kick for inactivity. Or so I presume. This means you can't just hang out in there while doing something else until more people show up. So if there's a setting for this, it might be worth changing.

I've chatted in there a couple of times......long time ago though.

[Sith Holocron 2,471]

Never used it.

There were about 5 people there on New Year's Eve, but besides that, no one's been there for years and no one's been there since.

I only used it a few times when I was first invited here. However, I personally see a potential for it to replace having long-winded PMs all the time when we can get a majority of our ideas communicated with one-another; that is, if it is utilized. (Especially considering it takes space to store all of our archived conversations)

 

Thing is, it's hard to get people to actually use it when PMs are what we normally default to. Though it could be quite helpful for those of us who are on here for hours at a time _ 

 

But such action would require coordinating between members, so it would be harder..

Statement: I forget it exists. It's useful for instant feedback while modding.

[Malkior 476]

A great place for idea generation. Recently it's become incredibly useful for instant feedback and mod assistance, as well.

Yeah I've recommended several things to modders . Would it be possible to remove the kick for inactivity function?

chat isn't just a place for idea generation or instant feedback it also is good place to ask for help with bugs or glitches when I first used it FS was in chat and he helped me fix a glitch with my game and so far since I started going to chat more often I find new comers asking for the same type of help I need when I came here
