sadly, Member Created Rooms are often the only ones with people in them, so that is where new people, and lonely people, and even desperate people go. i'm so sad about the way chat has changed in the last year, and i don't mean the program.

i was waiting in the lobby the other day for someone, and as people came in they stayed to chat a little, and before long we were having a great time, and then in comes one of the regular "room creators", and only one person even greeted him. the only comment he made was to sneer at a comment someone made. eventually he left and the conversation went on for a long time, with many different participants.

unfortunately, i cannot just sit around in chats like i used to, and support people. i am using a Passworded Room, most of the time when i'm here. i try to give the password to as many people as i can who would like a safe place to chat, but it's hard with the different times, and a year of disruptions. and of course, it excludes newcomers, who i used to enjoy meeting.

if you are reading this, and you consider yourself a friend, PM me in chat when you see me, and i'll send you the password.
best wishes~
