Em, you can set it so that it does chime. Mine chimes whenever someone comes in--I used to have it set so it chimed whenever everyone commented too, but it interupts my youtube ;)
 
I have it set to chime whenever someone leaves. That way I know when to start talking to myself again.

I think there is a chime, under settings

No offense, but no one is gonna want to talk to you now that you have complained about them. I often forget I am in the chat room, and I often pop in looking for someone and the pop out again if they are not there. People who frequent the chat room do not automatically include just anyone who appears because a lot of the time they are just there just to ask a question, and people have other agendas than to make everyone in the room happy and comfortable. If you stick around and get to know people they will be more friendly. Insulting people doesn't really make them want to go the extra length to be nice.

Edit - Sorry for the overuse of the word "people"

ahhahaha tsiriane you got me all wrong lmao i could give a wether you talk to me or not lmao i just called things the way i saw them . My life goes on just as fine as before i came in here.
 
*lol*.. Umm.. you might actually have to jump into the mosh pit before expecting to be invited.. *LOL*.. Just don;t be a wiennie about it and people will talk to you given the chance.. If people are like myself, I have 3 to 6 other pages open ( might be my ADD too )..

Heck, you never gave a chance to take you serious when you came into the chat earlier tonight.. Might have been 1 min you were in there before you called us snobs and trampled out the door to post this.. *shrugs* Not sure what you want us to do for you, that you can't do yourself.. *doubleshrugs*

Regards,, Tim of T and J

maybe i tried to make friends to fast lol but this was my experiance: after my 1st week here i noticed when i would go in the chat room it was silent with people in there so i made another name and popped in from time to time an just didnt say anything an everyone chatted like normal so either i did or said something wrong under Duane name that made people uncomfortable with me.

So you're not only paranoid, you're devious about it as well? Is that in chapter 3 of the forum ettiquette manual?

I find this topic rather amusing...maybe because I'm familiar with the chat "regulars." I find them to be genuinely warm and friendly, and it's like walking into a neighborhood pub when I go to chat. Then again, I've been here longer than two weeks and took the time to get to know this community before publicly calling them names while asking for acceptance. Interesting approach, but you might want to resort to plan B. You reap what you sow, Duane.

My mistake, I figured if you felt strong enough about it to post a whole topic on it you might care a little, but now I see you're just trying to stir up trouble. :D Have a nice day.

You know i was really fooled by a percentage of people on this site people i thought were nice people but from what i have found in the chat room is there really just a bunch of snobs.

I felt that way on the one or 2 occasions I visited there also. But it just proved to myself that I'm here for the forum aspect of the site and not the chat. I go other places to chat when I'm in a chat mood.

That comment to me speaks to the "snobbery" of the chat room. By stating your not here to make people comfortable and having to "stick around" to get people to know you to me is kind of what makes it feel snobbery at times.
Every other chat I've every been in has always made new people feel welcome and to join in. I've never been to a chat that made me "wait" around to feel welcome.
 
Interesting to read the different perceptions. I don't see Chat as an AA meeting or a bible study where it's all about the new person. It's called Chat for a reason. Start chatting, be decent and polite and people will respond. Be a jerk and make it "all about you" and they'll also respond, maybe just not the way you'd like.
 
I couldn't even get a response to my hello when I last went in there. There was chatting going on but you couldn't have proven I was even in the room with the others.
Thats just me and like I said I choose to stick with the forum here and if I choose to chat, I go to other places.
 
The thing about chat here is that it is very inconsistant. Sometimes it is very busy, and conversations are happening one on top of another, and when someone comes in it is easy to miss them. Then other times it is dead quiet because people are either not paying attention or are not there, so people come and go without being acknowledged.

I really am sorry if I've offended anyone, it was unintentional.
 
Sarah-Bear...you offend me every time I come in there. It's what keeps me coming back! :D
