to change chat room a bit.

Since I am Deaf and have been here a week. However, I felt a little disappointed in the way the room structured. It has videos and has audio. People are talking and I feel I am leaving out. I have to say each time I come in that I muted and say I am Deaf. I would like for it to change. It would have to be automated spoken into typed if people want to use voice. Second of all, for video, I rather to see it is an option to see other or not. Meaning when I sign in, I can click on some if I want to but of course, has to have typed words into this computer.

Compared to other sites, no offense, this is the bottom of 4 sites I know of. Needs a lot of work.

Also I like to see singles chat room that singles can know and feel comfortable that they want to find someone special and have relationship or marriage. I am seeking for marriage. The main room has shown very general and felt like there isnt any singles who are looking. I like to find they ae looking! Thank you for listneing.

I completely agree that the chat needs a better structure. There should be designated rooms for people who want to use their microphone. The current situation is very chaotic as you have people talking together on their mics, as well as people typing and trying to join in...its just crazy.

Actually there is an option to turn off video. The persons avatar will still pop up, in place of the video though. Next to the blue 'Chat Now' button, after log in there are three options. The first is high/low speed connection. If you run it on 'Low' that disables video of others. But again, their avatar will pop up in place. The second option is Your webcam on/off. The third option is to turn your mic on/off and also to turn off/on listening to others using mics.

Also there are various other rooms besides the Lounge. When you're in the Lounge look to the top right, in red there is a button that says 'Room List' click it. Then click the down arrow to see the list of rooms. Bible Study usually has people in it, sometimes the Prayer room does as well. The Random room is hit or miss.. the rest of the rooms tend not to be used a whole lot. Well, except the youtube room. There is a Singles room, but its rarely used. Key here is this is not a 'dating' site, nor does the owner want to put emphasis on dating. Sure, sometimes people on here do find romance, but that's not something he has an interest in pushing here. I believe the Singles room is more of a 'support' room than a 'hook up' room.

There are actually quite a few who are looking, i believe, but i think the majority are not 'on the prowl' so much as they hope to 'run into' someone that they can form a relationship with. And there are a lot of men that troll women on this site, looking for sex, or inappropriate behavior, asking personal information, telling them they love them after talking once, etc... lots of weird stuff. So most women on this site are going to be a bit guarded with a man til he proves himself to be more than just looking for a piece, so to speak. So if you're going to be approaching this site with the mindset of 'i'm looking for a wife, are you her?' then i think that will backfire for you.

I suggest, either learn to get into the main room conversations, which is difficult because they're usually ran by a clique. And if you aren't able to use voice chat it's even harder. Or, just hang in the chats and try to get conversations going with one person. Get to where you can PM them. 95% of my times in the chat room is spent either waiting on friends or in PMs with friends. I rarely engage in the main chat topics. Another good idea, make yourself a greeter for new people. Sometimes if i see a new person that catches my interest, i'll make a point to chat with them in the main room, spark up a conversation. They're new, so they're happy to be noticed. You can usually get away with PMing them without them having an issue, too. Unlike many of the women on this site. So all in all i guess just try to find a way to make friends and fit in and don't put so much emphasis on finding a wife, or find a singles site designed for that. Just a suggestion.

We did have a text only room, but the room never got utilized.
