I don't sit for 2 minutes waiting to see if anyone will say, "Hi!." If no one in the room is talking in the chat box, I say ttyl and leave. It does feel ...like a slight I guess.

I'm more affected when I go into a chat room and no one notices! If they notice, they don't know to say Hi. Yes, it's something that sure has changed here at PC, we would never think to not welcome everyone into a chat just a year ago!

BTW with the new full page pop up window for PMs in regular forum...I have found my self using it, and then ending up with 2 windows open for PC.

(Added 15 minutes after above: I went to chat btw to chat...and yeah, there happens to be 2 members who are in both small chats. I mean, there are only 4 ppl in each room, and I and another came in after me in one! That means they were just holding the chat room spaces????? They say they are "multi-tasking." )
