So just a gentle reminder that it's not helpful (and against our community guidelines) to talk about other members in a thread, even if you don't name them. Everyone has issues and is dealing with things we may know little about. If you have a specific concern about a "trouble maker," report their behavior to a mod or admin to get something done. (If you don't want to get anything done about it, don't report it.)

"I miss the old days when things were like so-and-so..." is something we all say at some point in our life. I can't magically bring back "fun chat." Chat is exactly what its members make of it. If you want it to be fun, make it fun -- there's no guideline against having fun and sharing fun things in Coffeehouse (in fact, that's one of the reasons it's there). I encourage you to have as much fun as you'd like in chat, as long as you don't violate our community guidelines.

Best,
DocJohn
