    deeply upset if i witnessed anything but kindness within this family,but maybe i am just naive of course people will disagree that is healthy we have our own veiws etc Its really important for us euro deadheads to connect with our stateside brothers and sisters that is where it all statrted and this is the only way we can be part of it and really feel like family.For those who are moaning complaining being negative about the chat its simple just dont go there. peace and love to you all including the moaners.

    Here's My Take on the Chatroom
    Gagalive went Kapoooey with no warning....alot of us that called this place home really miss it, and it was really a great way to meet friends. There was ALOT of drama no two ways about it there, some people just can't stand attention grabbing is my idea. But at the same time ALOT of good kind people with great conversations were there too. That being said, ChiBear and I were talking about this over the weekend, I also think that alot of the he said/she said, name calling, whining, I'll show you, I'm writing admin must have been something really hard for our Marye. To get those childish emails, while working hard to keep this site going, must have been tough. Basically, it is a wonderful tool for connecting and sharing with friends. A few were using as a way to lash out, and get attention. I personally miss it alot, but looking @ it from the point of view of the site operators, I think I'd be hesitant to bring it back too. Anyway, just my 2 cents...carry on. ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

    well dave..
    Alot of us called the chatroom home, and it's the same as any place else...if ya don't like it, ya stay away. Everything else that deadnet has to offer is still here, with or without the chatroom...and please understand, I'm not trying to be an ass, so I hope my comments are not being taken that way..

Well i guess the folks who operate this site don't want the chatroom anymore.I am very disappointed as i met some great friends in there and visited this site almost everyday to see them.I am going to try and continue on without it,but as a disabled and fairly homebound deadhead,i just want everyone i met there to know my life was better with you all in it.The time i spent there everyday was a blessing to me and i love all of you very much.Thank you for all you did to bring me happiness and joy while we had the chance to be together.The place will be sorely missed by this deadhead.I wish you all the peace,love happiness and prosperity that life can offer.Now i will fly up into the sky and disappear into a hole in the smog like the lorax.

while I can't say what's ultimately on the minds of the higher-ups, I think it's fairly obvious that the finite technical resources have been rather consumed with the 30 Days of Dead and that's likely to continue for the next couple of weeks. When I have anything more specific to report I will.

and the absence of the chat room should not mean that people don't find another way to stay in touch. In my old age I've seen a lot of online gathering places come and go, and it's just a practical reality to have a disaster plan--I mean, if Gagalive could vanish with no warning in a heartbeat... Being on the Internet is like living in earthquake country. You need a disaster plan. All of which is not to say that we're unaware or unappreciative of the issue, or that we're not planning to address it, but people need to figure out ways to stay in touch with each other also!

I know before you used to be able to make a chat room.With some Hosts/Servers. What about a ICQ. And how much could it cost?? Be proactive make your own. When did us freaks of society wait to be told where to go and when :)? Too much knowledge in this venue not to come up with a answer, Peace and Blessings to all.

Ok i basically found out that all ya need is a web site.And then post the chat link. Ok everyone say no shit sherlock. hey news to me. We can get a go go daddy or other cheap hoster. Host Gator is A good one for 90 a year. Now can we get a link on deadnet to point them to the Chat room.?? I will even volunteer i now have a dictation thing for mac so my typing and data processing much quicker. I figure a basic DEAD CHAT ENTER and away it goes even if 100 people only want to do it 5 bucks should cover it for 3 yrs. Unless i do not understand which happens with Just being dense.. Good one and Blessings to all Smiley Dave. Ill buy a box and run it for everyone(box a computer just for chat and downloading music was planning on it any ways since. im not moving as soon as id like. might as swell. Some one contemplate this tell me my errors and what corrections. Please correct my ignorance, Smiley Dave Do For Other's You Will Feel Better. Guaranteed!!!!

But thank God for the chatroom. Hope someday it comes back, I tend to agree that the tech side will be taken up with 30 days of the dead and then Christmas time orders...we prob won't see one till after January. And we do have the savage chatroom bail out that mona mentioned. Although, sometimes it's not populated. I miss you all a bunch, but I know I can always pick up a phone too. Love yas, and mwas. ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥ Twirly Banner

I feel like I may have won on the 23rd, but it's now going on 8:00 PM and it still says they haven't selected a winner. I'm just wondering if this is normal because I've never paid much attention to it until today, and to be honest I really would like to know who won.

Yes, there is a login to the chat room. However, you don't need to create a separate account, just use the same ID and password that you use to log in here. We had some problems with the old chat that people who were not logged in here and probably not members were getting in the chat room and causing trouble, so this is meant to solve that issue. And, with regard to another issue from the old chat, this new chat room comes with the ability to ignore people who annoy you. So if someone's acting up, just select their name in the list in the right column (who's in the chat room), click for the pulldown menu, and select Ignore. This should put an end to the playground squabbles as there is no need to engage with a squabbler. Thanks and chat on!

No "censorship," but no audience either if everyone does this. Bad actors are attention junkies, and rendering them the proverbial tree falling in the forest when nobody hears it deprives them of the audience they crave. Freedom of speech does not mean anyone has to listen to you.

if you're the kind of person who googles yourself to see what people are saying about you, this approach may have its failings. But in general few things shut bad actors up faster than the realization they're talking to a void.

it is really getting to be an issue to be able to get on chat. been slow anough since the new one but hard when u invite ppl who really want to come on and its just a hassle so they give up. have to give weird unstructions like go and back and forth between to white page and the not found page to get the blue page. then if u get the whole blue page it wont post what u r typing. i know savage offered his services in helping to get a free chat that work very well. so i do hope u look into it. we DO like are chat and would love others to come and share the love. TY :)
