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

...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...

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 :-)

some of us on the chat r trying and hoping to have the old timers come back. last week had to stop more fights than i want to admit ;( if u all leave then thats whats left. please dont leave badger and more kind souls plz try to come back now and then. peace! :)

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. "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

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 .

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.
