It's been quiet around here for sometime and I believe it is time to make an important announcement for old and new members alike.

As of the passing two months, the mods and admins here has the decided that the addonchat system here in the Heaven and Earth forums, known as Live Chat, is officially dead.

Reason? Plenty of reasons. Trust me, there is a list. :True:

But the real issue is the inactivity. Lately, no one ever use the chat system. No one has request for opening it. Not even one single member stop by when it was opened at the right time when there are many members active on the boards. And since no one cares about the system now, it was our best decision to let it run off its course.

So, through Live Chat, we had the good, the bad, and the ugly with it for the past four years, and now with this decision, its time has passed.

Ohh well, I never used it anyway. Just a waste of bytes on the server. :True:

Honestly... this isn't much of a surprise to me. I've stopped by frequently and I've seen how dead it is. Most of the LC regulars don't even drop often anymore (myself included). Hopefully some of the ugliness that comes with LC will be gone and we'll be more interactive on the boards once again.

See ya LC.

Nooo LC!!! I used it... But I got sick of always being the one to request someone to open LC...
Bye LC

It wasn't a problem with the bandwidth, since it probably takes less MB than a few threads. It was the cost of renewing it, the addon chat isn't cheap, after all. I looked it up when I wanted to start my own mini forum. Wasn't worth it at all.

Sadly true, muimui. The past year or so, I've been at school and the dorm firewall doesn't allow LC. If I did have time @ school for LC, it was always open late or it was dead by the time I got in.

Thats what the chat thread is now for.

Yeah, my only real free time is in the early AM to mid afternoon EST, which is pretty much the opposite of when a good portion of others who I typically saw in LC can be around. It's a bummer, for sure, but understandable. There are other java chat programs that may not be as good, but they are free and can be used in a pinch.

We had a good run when it was used like mad.

But there are other alternatives. Use the chat thread, or simply use a free java-chat room. Hell, IRC still works.

Smiter paid $150 bucks a year for something that had essentially died. Wasn't worth the cost anymore.

You miss LC when it was still good and relevant.

Yeah. I was usually on when I saw it open, but it's been dying for a while now. Most of the time no one would talk. Still, it had it's great moments. (:

[Miss Soupy]

Livechat never was as good as the flashchat days XD Most of those members are gone now anyways. I think LC got a bit complicated in the end with all of the modding (not arguing if it was necessary or not). But yeah, it had been dying for awhile.

RIP LC. It was fun while it lasted.

R.I.P. had some good times in both the fc and lc.

'Tis a shame. I never got the chance to use it.
