So you climbing on up, or just standing by?
I'm not sure what you're asking me :ohmy.gif:

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
I wouldn't exactly advocate a rebellion, more just making a point to the admins about reinstating the chat thread n-n

Yay we successfully derailed the thread into a musical tune
But back on topic
The furry thread was a discussion among furries, their little safe haven where they can chat freely and share art and discuss furry things without having to be ridiculed for being a furry; has anyone checked to see if shadow's neko thread was locked as well, seeing how that is basically the same thing but for neko lovers.
And as far as IRC; yeah no, that is just another piece of software someone has to install, then you have to wade through the replies and after a few minutes of talking it gets insanely hard to reply back to someone.

This is something us admins have discussed and Off Topic was never meant to be a place for chat, we have IRC for that. But for some reason it was allowed to go on for quite some time and we apologize for that. Mostly due to the heavy load of work we've been having just moderating the main forums.
Examples of rules that doesn't really go well with having chat threads are the meme rule/no pic only post, no one word posts and the don't post if you have nothing to add to the subject. (A chat thread hardly has a subject to begin with).
We want to keep the forums spam free and having threads where it's "ok" to spam isn't really helping.
Thanks for your feedback in the matter. I hope you do understand our reasons.
ez, you have obviously never participated in the chat thread because it's a lot more then a place where 'it's "ok" to spam'. It was a community of people who hung about and... chatted. Honestly, chat is the only reason I'm still at this forum. It's unfair for you to suddenly swoop into a thread which has, through all it's carnations, had thousands of pages and has run for over a year, and just suddenly say 'Yeah, this is over just because', and then explain that you want us to all move to a IRC channel in a different thread. Honestly, IRC isn't the same. Every time I've used IRC, it's a mess. Add in the dozens of people from the chat thread and all the other people from the upper boards and you've got a traiwreck. The chat thread was extremely popular and is a community of people who were all friends (mostly) and didn't do any harm.
So, yeah, I think you should re-open the chat.
I looked up in the replies and where did ez comment?
On a forum, you can catch up on all that you missed, respond to older posts, quote relevant posts from a long time ago, answer multiple posts in one and follow what's going on while in IRC with 20 people on there's an endless flood of messages, bumping older messages off the list as new ones come in so you lose a lot of what went on before. Also, you can't quote an IRC message so that makes answering people more awkward, much less sustaining a conversation

If a creeper walked in to my house, I'd either be cowering in a corner or unzipping my trousers.
Really, how much back-tracking through the hundreds of pages did you do?
just reply to people by doing "@name".
We often go back hundreds of pages to reference things, also 10-15 pages to reply to something that happened after we left.
If you wanna know what it's like to be on a really active chatroom, you could try going in the chatroom we made not long ago <w<

Our thread is still fine, but I fear for it.
