For everyone:
Group chats are so rare around here these days because I haven't been able to be around to hold them since my computer crashed in April. I only get to visit once every week or two, which is making something like group chat next to impossible for me to organize.
This does not mean that I am the only moderator that can hold a chat, nor does it mean you can't organize one yourselves, as I've seen the beginnings of here. Either choice would be welcome, but as far as running them from a 'site' perspective, group chats have, from the start of the chat room's creation here, been mainly my responsibility. I organized the last chat because I was expecting to have my computer back by then, but obviously this still hasn't happened. Many thanks to wookiee cookiee who took over with no notice, and my only wish is that the chats had as much participation as the threads asking for them.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, when I'm back for sure full-time, I'm going to do some investigating as to how to make the chats a better experience. One thing I will say is that the next one I make will be an afternoon chat, so we can incorporate some of our UK friends, and not leaving them feel like they've been left out, as that is not the intention here.
If anyone has any suggestions that they don't want made public, feel free to email me at
barada@thebothanspy.com. It may take a week or two for me to get back temporarily, but all input is welcomed.
