Okay.

We simply can't add a room for every little whim someone has an issue with. If we did we'd have 6000 rooms by now, all of which would be empty. There are countless times Robo has added in a room upon request from people who swear black and blue they will use it...then once it's added THEY NEVER USE IT.

eg: Text only, mentally challenged (now known as random) sports...all of these rooms (and I'm sure there are others) were added after weeks and sometimes months of chatters whining, and complaining and demanding...then their wish is granted... and THEY DON'T USE IT! Then we get people complaining no one ever uses those rooms. We just can't win!

It becomes really frustrating trying to bend over backwards to meet every chatters 'need' (or desires) only to have little or no appreciation shown for it.

This site (and all the features on it) takes time, money, and a team of committed VOLUNTEERS to keep it running. Yet chatters seem to think nothing of complaining about how the features presently available don't meet their present desires. If you genuinely have a suggestion you think would make this site better, or a feature you think could improve the workings of the site...then sure, by all means post it here...but if you just want to complain because you don't like hearing certain topics in the rooms...then please refrain. This site is FREE and we intend keeping it that way, but whining and moaning and demanding only makes our job harder (and we lose patience :) )

However, please be aware any suggestions you may have will most likely take money and time to implement. Sometimes,we see a suggestion we think is a great idea, but we simply don't have the resources to make it happen. So if you really want to see your suggestion implemented (and not get frustrated with waiting months and seeing nothing- feeling like you're being ignored) then feel free to include a donation with your suggestion, to cover the cost of implementing that new feature.

Here's a little tip:

If someone is talking about something you simply don't like/enjoy eg : politics, sport, dating, etc... then just change rooms..or suggest a new topic (something you DO want to talk about.) If however, someone is talking about something inappropriate or blatantly against all this site stands for, then sure ask them to change topics or report them to a Moderator.

We want this to be a place of fellowship, where different people from all backgrounds, nations, cultures, belief systems can meet and have healthy fellowship. We can't do that if we start creating rooms for this, that and the other...it only segregates people into clicky little groups.

We have loads of rooms already...and lots of them are often empty.

I do hope this doesn't come across the wrong way. By all means please feel free to make suggestions (we welcome them), but please take the time to consider the viability of your suggestion and what would be involved in seeing it happen :)

I hope that made sense.

i've said it before we need a room to discuss which rooms we should have. to keep new room discussions out of the suggestions forum.

I honestly wonder how many rooms were requested by those who would use them and how many were requested by those who wanted particular topics out of other other rooms? ;)

Maybe they could change the name of one of the unused rooms to a politics room and enforce that they talk politics there and keep it out of the lounge.. But who wants to monitor it?? lol

Perhaps a politics room you say? but then they wont use it anymore than they sports room is being used. How about the other rooms that arent being used. Seems such a waste to me, but hey, whatever. I mean soon at this pace, the moment you say anything in the lounge someone will immediately say, take it to the such and such room. then youll have to deal with scrolling through the list of 100 such useless rooms

I think those annoyed with certain topics in the lounge (or annoyed by those chewing them out for talking a certain topic in the lounge) want rooms more than those who are probably the ones talking the topic...

Don't want to talk politics? Talk about something else. Don't want to listen to sports talk on the mic? Mute it. Not really that difficult.

Take this to the ''Suggestions For Rooms That Will Never Be Used'' room.
