The LiveChat chatroom is temporarily closed to all members except for Administrators and Moderators.

No one is allowed to enter, until it has been officially re-opened to the rest of the boards.

Thank You.

Oo, no wonder a password box showed up :X.

*blinks* Somethings wrong with Live Chat?

[Smiter]

For now, the Admins have decided to close Live Chat while we decide on its future.

The issues are not technical, it is in perfect working order. But, over the past few months, we have seen some situations involving members (nobody specific, and I do not wish to see any finger-pointing) that have made us extremely concerned.

So, please wait for any further announcements from us.

Thanks for your patience.

That's a problem all chat rooms have. You have to have at least one moderator in the chat room at all times; otherwise things will get out of hand.

It's the same with any online community, especially the forums.

True Magus, but things were relatively peaceful in FC. I can't help but feel partly responsible. I was in two asanine arguments lately. *sigh*. I know you said no finger-pointing Smiter, but does that count when you point a finger at yourself?

Yeah, I was in one argument with SB, but I apologized for that.

Oh woe is us :[.

The FC has been good getting the members to know each other on a closer basis, something the Forum itself couldnt provide that well, but with that also come the classes of likes and dislikes in heated discussionas that get out of hand, This is what is problably being talked about by the Mods, weighing the pros and cons and then making the decision of is the FC worth it. Not just that either but someone must be paying a pretty penny for the FC, so Im thanking whoever (I've been told it was Smiter) for letting us have it so far.

((for those who dont know I have this strange thing of calling the Live Chat, Flash Chat which is represented by "FC" ))

Are we really that immature here? I mean I don't see how someone can take such offence to something, this is the 'internets' people if your all serious this isn't your place. Trolls run rampant, emos are everywhere, its not like your the only one thats suffered in this world. I've known a lot of "trolls" to be some of the least secure people I've known and thats okay because they get over it and just have fun like the internet is for. Suck it up buttercup and talk it out, if you can't then ignore them like everyone else would. They're not even worth your time in that case. To the people that stirred this stuff, watch what you say, not everyone has the same experience as everyone else, though I wish they did in some cases.

I'm seriously disappointed by this. I hate this stuff.

It's more of the chat problem than the forum. Forums are easily moderated, as mods can delete and/or edit posts that people make. You can't change what people write in chat. Not everyones views are the same here, so some discussions will get heated. Some people, can't hold back what they say sometimes.

[Myrkr]

Everyone in that chat is from this forum, and they should learn or lifes really going to be a b*tch to them.

lol

Well, that's the problem for people in the real world to. It's the real world that influences their behavior.

[Daniee]

Well geez...with this news and Ash leaving, I've become really confused. I've always seen this place as one of the friendliest I've ever been to. It's one of the reasons I'm here; people on other forums tick me off =/ But I've never seen any of these heated arguments or whatever is going on, everyone is always having a good time whenever I'm in LC, and apparently this has been been going on for a few months??

Well, my sentiments exactly. But many here are young, immature, or simply haven't learned that life lesson yet. What can you do, y'know?

Beat it into them. :devil:

[JoHamSandwich]

Well....the chat closing is a shocker. D=

...since the chat is closed... PSO anyone? XDD!!

[PhantomNinja]

I guess it's a double edged sword, like anything else. On one hands, LC was fun and lets people become closer, but also leaves room for hurt...

What to do? *sigh* there's probably no direct way to approach this, the two extremes would either be a ) putting it back up without any modification and b ) taking it down permenantly.

Age limits are unfair and don't work because although a person may be younger or older, their level of maturity cannot be determined by their age...

Good luck to the mods as to how to resolve this issue.

This reminds me of grade school, punish the class from the actions of a few. The real reason the LC is closed is because of the gaps in maturity in our members and the absense of Ms. Riot. Historic is right, life is not all peaches and cream. Members will have arguments and feelings may get hurt. This is were the moderators step in and ban them from the LC for a determined period of time to cool themselves off. If it continues then you ban them for good. I mean that is the moderators job correct? My point is don't punish the whole because of the actions of the few moderators.

Agreed. I can't count how many times in middle school I had to sit in an assigned seat because a few tables at lunch were being to loud and obnoxious, the teachers decided to punish the whole, and it made me miserable.

Perhaps just leave LC down for a few weeks or so? If there's somebody SPECIFIC causing trouble, than those people should be punished... ah... what am I saying? (is being a stuck up mod wannabe)

But krazzedkyubbi does have a point, and so does everyone in here who makes sugestions... I think we can make this WORK, we just have to suport the mods desicions and hope for the best.
