What happened to FlashChat?

[Jeff Lange]

Not but 3-4 months ago, it was booming. We would regularly have 12-15 people in there, it was the happening place to be for sure. I could go in there literally ANY time, and there would be someone to talk about something with. I'd be in there on Saturday mornings at work when there was nothing to do but wait for the phone to ring, or at night when I was bored.

Now... every now and then someone else will be there to talk to me.

What's the deal?

I went in there very few time at night over the last months and asked the same question of the one other person in there. They said that it was just an off night, but it happened on 3 different times.

Don't get me wrong, there are still times when there are quite a few people in there, just seemed significantly busier in the summer. It's cold now, everyone should be inside browsing SM, haha.

I think it may be partially a seasonal thing also. I seem to remember the same situation occuring last year at the same time.

I have a few other thoughts too I'll PM ya about.

SM Flashchat also looks a little unfinished - what with it not saving user data for the next session (i have to select the 'classic' theme EVERY time i log on), the logo up the top is...uhm...yeah, it doesn't look very pro. Now us old school FC users don't really care, but it certainly could put off newcomers.

Yeah lately i been there like before (almost 24/7) to find an empty room

Sorry, I took a break from the forums and forgot to leave my animal magnetism behind. I'll try to log on more often for you.

 

[Kangae]

I was in there half the night tonight, where were YOU?

 

[bioskyline]

ive never noticed the link to flash chat till now

 

[airhead04]

Ive just been slacking on getting on. I started college and my life went into the fast lane. Ask SURUKO, I hardly talk to him now because Im so damn busy. =[ Ill try to pop on in when I can.

 

[honestabe]

Been slacking and busy. Plus I've been somewhat blah lately.

 

[trucker]

been on a "special project" at work. kept me away from the computer for a while.

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Got a promotion at work, so have been super busy.

Sad to hear FC is no longer booming like it used to

 

[trucker]

well lil miss, most of us were there for you! so its all your fault

 

[SURUKO]

Still hanging there come in people...

 

[MDCmotorsports]

I stopped using it because it would crash my monitor and I couldn't see/do/any thing until I rebooted the computer.

Perhaps making the flashchat compatible with texting would change the liveliness. I was on the civic forum the other day and noticed they had a chatroom where all you have to do is text "CIVICFORUM" to a 5-digit number and BAM! You're in the chatroom from your mobile phone! Text "LEAVE" and you're out! Simple as that. Sorry if this is old news and has been mentioned here before, it's new to me haha.

If you don't have unlimited text, expect the bill to be high if you plan to stay in the chatroom for a while because you get a text for every single response lol.

i do a bi-monthly visit to the chat room the work i've done on the supra has slowed down.

 

[Jeff Lange]

We now have a spiffy new logo! If you want to see it, stop on by!

Everyone experiences it differently.

(PS: Now with even less IJ than ever!)
