    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    Marye thanx for all you do. We know its beyond your control. What makes it sad is each time it goes down the less come back and then new ppl come on and goes down again and then we lose them. Almost makes it not worth it because the ones there do try to work hard to build it back up again. So i agree with badger. Just let us know if the chat is dead.If so rhino has lost a special part of Dead.net

    So is that chat room finsihed for ever? Does dead net want to get rid of it? I spent months shut out of it and despite messages via MaryeE nobody fixed it. Now the whole thing seems to have vanished. If it is closed for good then please let us know. thanks

    Actually
    Tiger, as well as a select handful of others can play in any PGA Tour sponsored or co-sponsored event they want for the rest of their lives. Tour grants lifetime exemption for anyone with 30 or more career wins. Golfers do not become eligible for the Champions Tour until they are 50, but they are not precluded from regular Tour events just because they are 50 or older. And yes, I'd like to see Tiger fulfil his potential as well, and I think he will. Only Nicklaus and Snead have more career Tour wins, and only Nicklaus has more professional Majors. Tiger should be able to eclipse both of those marks. As for his off-course behavior, it is unfortunate but let's face it, he's no Michael Vick, and thank goodness for that!

    But yeah, I don't see what his personal life has to do with his sporting skill.

What this approach lacks in spontaneity it sure makes up for in persistence. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Getting kicked out of the chatroom is awesome. It's the thrill of being on the edge that gets me off. It's like my son sneaking out of bed and trying not to get busted. Sometimes he gets away with it but he usually gets snagged! Makes me feel like Indiana Jones man. I suggest you don't change a thing.

Thank you Mary, for creating this topic. It may just placate the angry hordes for now. I will notify some folks, perhaps they will take advantage of this brilliant idea

Just had to put the boot in, eh? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

The chat room was booting every 20 to 30 seconds. Then it would take maybe 10 to 20 tries to get back in after the boot. And you want to go back to this situation? What a kidder you are, otherwise I'd have to strongly question your judgment. Also I think perhaps you were possibly schooled in the same location as our friend Jesuschrist. You two seem to make the same spelling errors. Probably just one of those coincidence things, huh?

This could do it for now. A group of folks could have a chat here, not as quick as a chatroom, but at least the posts do work and we haven't been kicked out of here for misbehaving...yet. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

how damn addictive the chat room has been. I feel like I'm missing something if I don't check in. I start missing people! I thought it was just me getting kicked out so much....guess it was all around. I was starting to take it personally. As for the thrill of not getting kicked out, Chris is kinda right, i would start in a chat w/ someone and then it's like pushing the limit...waiting to get flagged, but there's no siren or lights flashing so you keep going....then wham! booted again. I guess we must live for some cheap thrills. Still worried about my chat room addiction. Ami ps Chris- you'd appreciate my soon to be 6 yr. old daughter who stacked chairs and such to reach the stash of cookies atop the refrigerator cabinet. I snag her and she says, "I got this for you!". Lil bugger

It was the computer doing the 'misbehaving', not the people innocently using the chat room!!! Turns out that most were behaving as a righteous DeadHead should, laughing, joking, goofing, and having fun. Sure we talk about our bad habits, but it's all in good sport. Heck, we know all the rules by now, AND the fire from the ice!!

Anyone else having problems with the store..............I ordered the winterland set and got a confirmation email with no ups tracking info....I went in and sent customer service a message and they sent me back the WRONG tracking number. 411 shows and counting. One day I'll actually get around to listing them all.

It had just become so ill-behaved. People couldn't stay on for more than 30 seconds at a time. It started to become more of a graffiti room than a chat room, so if we have to live with that, then this is a much more stable way of doing so. Thanks, marye for coming up with a creative solution to the problem. Guess we'll just have to yak in slow motion until they get it sorted out. Looking forward to news of same. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

... Dick's Picks 5 from the Oakland Aud, (which became the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center). What a 'cozy' venue, newer and cleaner than Winterland, right near BART, and that great park right next door too. Believe me, most of us never hung out around Winterland after the shows... Anyway the encore of this one is a real nice Shakedown St. into Uncle John's band!!! May I suggest you pick this one up, and enjoy the ride?

well,that sues my soul,because i had exactly the same problem.i really believed it was something personal.that paranoia developed until a point where i started bombarding mary and jonathan (ask them) with PMs that were not so polite,like i tried to be in the chat.but as the revolution arouse i began to understand that i would have to buy a wooden finger,like anybody else:-)(-:

I figured it was a techno issue, because I was a bit crude at times and wasn't booted for misbehavin', as for paranoia, that's just a carry over from my way back daze. Mary & Jonathan deserve the special super dooper award for patience for dealing with us patients. Take care, Ami

Hmmm, actually more than once... anyway as Bobby sang:"And at last it's the real thing Or close enough to pretend" So we can pretend to chat, which we are doing, it's just not in "real time". I am still and yet grateful to the site for taking care of us 'patients' as Ami called us. Are we running the asylum now?

I don't want to think about how the chatroom doesn't work anymore but want to make do with what is until what isn't is fixed!

too funny. I can see Audrey Hepburn and Bob dancing away in Spain. As for old JC in Spinnin Free, he's really getting a lot people on their last nerve, I guess it's good to be Jewish- I'm not offended, highly amused by it, and now know why he got kicked out of the Local 5BC Carpenter's Union. You gotta laugh, it's just too damn humorous! Ami
