Chat room.

It fecking annoys me the way some people go into the chat room and say or write absolutely nothing.
I mean wtf is the purpose of going in there if you can't be arsed to chat.
I'm not talking about the people that enter and then get distracted for a few minutes i'm talking about the people that go , get timed out , then log back in again and still say sweet FA
FFS either shit or get off the pot.

I guess some people may be shy at first just like in real life when they enter a room and are not sure what to say or do. I have been in chat a few times and have experienced similar situations to yourself when some people start a conversation and then go in the middle of it and others who simply like to watch or observe. Not sure what the answer to this one is but I guess with us all being different some are more communicative than others.

They dont log out when they leave the chat so they are stilll in there. Say im in chat and i go to the forums, unless i have logged out of chat ,im still in there visible.

Yes that can be annoying especially if you ask a question and are waiting like a prick for an answer. Good point!
Just thinking that I was not aware of that until you mentioned it so perhaps a lot of people don't know they are still logged in.

What about when they get timed out and then log back in straight away. I know they are there.FFS

Another good point and I don't see any valid reason why anyone should do that

well this been brought up b4 and few ppl b4 were upset over getting kick out due to inactivity in chat........some are there to chat but will never miss the lurkers in it........its part of a chat room i guess...as for a reason not to chat well are shy ppl or just there to watch what ppl are talking about and being updated.......i could say more but i do not want to stir the shit around....

I find the default settings in the new chat very bad which could be putting people off posting, there is no need to show large fonts or avatars in the chat box, I always go into settings and make a few changes so each comment fits neatly onto one line and at least it doesn't move as fast and generally the comment you are replying to is still visible. I also think people should get into the habit of clicking on the posters name within the chat area to which they are directing a comment to, that way when you post, it will show there name and they know you are speaking to them, would save a lot of confusion.
These are the settings I select:
