*sigh* OK this is being abused now... We ask that the chat room be open once a week for a reason... Obviously, not all members respect this. The chat room is closed until further notice (no... not even open on Saturday!) until this kink can be worked out.
OK I wanted to touch back on this topic because I read through my post and realized how harsh it sounds...
So first I apologize for it sounding so harsh... That is not my intention at all.
I am not placing any blame or holding this against anyone. I am glad that it was caught in time because we are already running high on bandwidth use this month. I am disappointed that the chat room once a week thing isn't being respected by everyone... I am also disappointed in myself for not addressing it earlier. I do hope to fix this problem... Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll have time this week... But I will try. I am still thinking it will stay shut down until the hole is fixed... I hope not to disappoint many if it isn't open this coming Saturday. I'll try to avoid this.
I understand that the excitement of having it open 24/7 is also a good thing since it means people WANT to come here for general chat and "hanging out." I am very happy about that... I just wish I could leave it open and available for this purpose. Unfortunately, I can't do that right now.
This is something I am thinking about and trying to find a solution to...
For now, I prefer to keep this friendly and hope to avoid anyone pointing fingers or blame on other members... We all want the same thing... So lets start over again with a clean slate.
I just wanted to say that I was not directing that at any one person, but to a group. We should respect rules that are in place and not try to find loopholes, that's all.
