    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

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

    it's not ok !
    it's not ok that a couple people, not entitled to do so by deadnet management ,register all the scripts of each word said at chatroom . it's not ok that one of these people feels also entitled to threatened to disrupt our computers with a virus at chat because someone's opinion is not approved by a bully . it's not ok to slander spitefully for a cheap thrill at other's expense . it's not ok to spy on other's conversations due to lack of respect and ill manners towards others , and then warp what was said to propagate needless strife among others . But , methinks, we shouldn't let that run us off chatroom and lat bullies win ! So good people , do take a stand and join us again at chat !

    Please don't go Badger! Would miss your wit and interesting travel tales like hell! Are a handful of us trying hard to get the old vibe back, a place for warm, intelligent conversation. If our old-timer friends desert us, how can we manage this?? ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

    Cosmicbadger' s post....
    ...oh,how right you are Badger!!!!In fact there are moments on the chat when you have the feeling that instead of bein on dead-net,you hang around in a prison yard with strange laws,Bullies eager to jump on you for whatever comment one dares to do and those ganglike codes [..like strkyep,krkbe etc.;)!!!]which make you feel very strange.Oh,and to stay with your post-i am pretty sure that there ARE people there who God only knows how,able to manipulate the whole chat.Marye,i have seen and experienced it that i came into the chat with 2 people hangin around,and beside '' hallo'',i could not send away a single letter,with them 2 guys havin Big fun that the chat seems to have ''hickups'',so they where aware of the problem i had.How?Did they see my comments which did not appear on the screen?Is there a kind of electronic trap between the chatter and the chat-room?..or is it just like badger says that some folks have found other routes in...wow,pretty scary if you add the guy who claims to have all the chats on record.Anyhow,peace to all who enjoy the chat as a nice meeting place,but it for sure aint safe...

    apologies
    to all the nice, honest open people who still use the chatroom. I was really angry when I posted last night and I should have mentioned that a lot of good folks are there whose company I enjoy a lot. But it creeps me out that a) one person is apparently logged on there almost 24/7 and hardly ever never says anything. b) the names of some people in the chatroom do not appear on the lists of online users at the time (that includes the person logged in 24/7) c) Someone is claiming to be logging the entire record and is using that as a means to threaten people. If that is true, then it is quite sinister. If that person is bullshitting then that is just sick. It would be useful Marye if it could be discovered if people have 'cracked' the CR and are getting in through other routes. Thanks. I am really not sure how secure gagalive is. If course one has to accept that it is an open space and not everyone will click and see eye to eye, but it is all too weird for me these days. Its a shame cos it sure brightens up lonely nights in hotels in strange cities and there have been some great sessions (even recently) It would be good to have an 'is it safe to go in the chatroom right now' function somehow :-)

    The last time
    I was in this chatroom (which I admit was a long time ago) I felt like I was hanging out with gang-bangers at a rap concert. I had to quickly check to make sure I was still in fact on dead.net.

    Ever since the gagalive thing happened . I would love to be able to chat with Dead.net members here . but it always seems like there is more people that I do not know in the chatroom then our own Dead.net members . It`s kinda sad. Bring back the old chatroom and I`ll use it .

    I used to go there a bit
    but it has seemed to have really gotten very juvenile, not funny. At times I have hit it right. I like to go there when I see certain people are there. Really had some great conversations there last year and before and as recently as several weeks ago. But usually will stay far away. There are certain topics on this site that attract certain groups of people each kind of taking on its own personality. I guess chat room is like that too. Kind of like a great bar that you used to hang out at and has slid downhill and now avoid and only visit to see if any of the old crowd might be doing the same. .

    ...agree with Badger. It appears rather voyeuristic. Hmmm, being fast w/the keyboard and getting your mental jollies? I dunno. Doesn't seem intelligent at all, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a place for people who want a cheap thrill. Sort of like hippie crack?

    I'm not sure there's a practical way to fix this, but you're not the only one with this issue. I'll see if there's anything to be done.

Shutting down the chat room sure has livened up the forums. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

That's funny, I saw Central's comment about ol' Nurse Ratched & looked up the movie. I've never seen it before. Only read the book. Can't go wrong with Jack. How's your tile coming along?

I'll always take the book over the movie bc then you can envision the story yourself. What really gets me is when they change things for the movie. I understand for time etc... but important parts. Man, that burns me up! Not saying Hannibal is on the same scale as Cuckoo, but when they made Hannibal they totally changed the ending. ?!? Oh well, that's Hollywood for you. :-)

Yes, when I was very small . The main difference I remember is The Emerald City.Originally, the glasses with green lenses made the city emerald. I do love the OZ movie & Return to Oz for that matter. In Return they send Dorothy to the nut house. Ever seen The Never Ending Story? LOVE that movie. Never read the book, there's probably one out there though. I must watch Cuckoo this weekend! Thanks Kindly. Have a nice evening. Maybe the chatroom will be ready tomorrow. PEACE

aren't most books better? Even sequels fall short in almost every case. Kesey's is a classic. Love the Big Indian myself. Our old school nurse WAS nurse Ratchet...a scary chick indeed. Warm and heading up to 72 degrees tomorrow in Philly! Have a good evening to all. (even JC) Ami

If you're going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some protest banners in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet some angry people there For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will be a Chinese olympic protest there In the streets of San Francisco Pissed people with signs in the air All across the nation such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation with a new explanation People in motion people in motion For those who come to San Francisco Be sure to wear some emblems on your shirt If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a demonstration there If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a rally there
