Been there myself, hunterpoet. Many times still after months, i go in and feel 'ignored'. I think most of the situation is, people get used to talking to their 'regular' friends, and so many new people join constantly, that this just gets overlooked. It's not intentional slight from the chatters, i'm sure.
I also do not use the webcam and i'm on mute, therefore that makes things even worse, as many there prefer to just go that route.
I hope you'll try again. I sugges you just try to throw out a topic and see if that helps. OR just say 'hey i feel ignored here' and that usually grabs attn. If youi see me there, say hi! If i'm watching at the moment, i'd be happy to chat w/ u.
