The chat room was broken. It was not working properly, as has been told to us many times in threads and in PM's.
As for when it will be fixed, there is no definitive date/time schedule. Hopefully MT can update as as to the progress of chat within a few days and maybe we will know more, until then, there isn't any more to be said.
And Snip, I'd like to throw the reminder of the rules right back at you. Please be respectful to all members. Thanks.
BP, thank you for a decent attempt at an answer. If something isn't known, it's more than reasonable enough to say so.
As to respect, I realize it's a 'rule' it's also something that needs to be earned. Some on here I respect, others, well, I try to be courteous, but respect may not be something that they have earned.
Yes I did because you were just sniping.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
You tell me how ANY of those comments were useful to THIS thread, a thread announcing Chat would be down temporarily.
In the rule you just posted, it says to be respectful to members and moderators..........please explain how the above is doing so? There is more to being respectful than just not calling names.
As to your questions, the questions, I am SURE if MT had a time frame he would have offered...........again, what do any of those other statements have to do with your questions?
Unfortunately quoting loses the 'exhibits' though I didn't realize this was a trial, nor that we were in a courtroom.
Exhibit 'A'...for some time, threads were being created, pm's sent, almost all by the people that use chat on a regular basis. More threads were created by some of those members to try to explain to others how to access chat and get around some of the technical issues of certain browsers not working, or why they weren't getting access.
Exhibit 'B' you directly asked me previously how it was 'punishment' for some of us. I was trying to explain it to the best of my knowledge. As I stated along with that, I wasn't there, so maybe I'm out to lunch. If so, either correct me, or state that you don't know...chat's been 'broken' for several weeks, but I think it's fairly safe to say that a certain culmination of events recently led to it being down for repairs now. Again, if something needs fixed, then do so...I have no issues with that. How to do it? (Since that was asked of me in a PM), I can't help you with, I'm not a computer person, though I do try to learn what I can and pass along what knowledge I can.
Exhibit C is an opinion of mine, that has been brought up before in threads and PM's to some of the administration of the board. After all, this is a discussion forum, so it is a part of my discussion. Had there been moderation (if what happened in 'Exhibit B' is correct) than perhaps chat would still be working as it was, broken or otherwise. Now, as I stated, I wasn't there at the time, so again, I have no clue if a mod was even present or not. I will say, that since the majority of my time on Chaz is spent in the chat room, I can confidently say that I don't ever recall any 'moderation' occurring in there with one exception, a comment about a discussion from Buddy's Parents that was going beyond the limits of reason for the forum.
Do these statements have direct connections to my statements? (Since this is the FIRST time it was asked....) maybe not, but they are discussion revolving around aspects of chat, and furthermore aspects of Chaz. When MT posted this, it was done as a forum thread, not even a sticky, so to me, it is a 'discussion' not an 'announcement'.
I'm sure that if asked, there will be someone on here that has technical know-how that could help fix or setup a chat that would work for everyone, or can at least point in the right direction.
