Chat was far more busy then the forum, until recently with the downtime inferno multiple times, when we all suffered from withdrawal symptoms!
There was crying and asking in the forum, but it took so long each time before chat was up and running again.
On top of that came the ID thief troll, who copied avatars and names.
And pretended to be a regular chatter and freaked people so out, that an other solution had to be found soon.
The new 30 day member requirement was an excellent idea, but it came to late...

If Rendo really is serious about revamping chat, there are some very important things that are required to make it successful.

because it lags chat, it makes chat unstable if it isn't done every single day.
Chatters who are idle in chat for days, make the chat very unstable, kick and prune to make it stable.
Also for privacy reasons!
If the chat members report misbehaviour, act on it at once, don't see how it goes, thinking maybe it will get better. Because it's like an untreated wound. It's such a moodspoiler and then people leave...
Vendors in chat, there were vendors in chat, they help just like non-vendors always help.
But if people log in chat only to get and never to give and they build a reputation of asking, asking, wanting, asking and then leave when they get where they came for.
It leaves a bitter feeling behind and chatters aren't inclined to help once someone has that gimme-reputation.
So then maybe it is a good idea to compensate the helpers with gift-certificates if they are like 2 hours in chat to help others.
Also if you want a different result, you need to make changes, and Rendo made a lot of changes and they given different results...but not all the results for the better.
Everything is slow the forum, the chat etc etc.
Listen to the members, act on it, give the members what they ask, please....?
Because aren't the members the top priority at Rendo?
Without members...what is left?
I want Rendo to shine, to do well!
