Chat Rooms

Hi guys n gals

Just to say I am going to be using the lounge more often than not from here on in I will always offer support to anyone that wants it, but would prefer pm's tbh.

You all know my situation and I'm sure you understand .. it just seems silly that there are 3 rooms here and all chat goes on in Support, I have myself seen occasions where when chat is really light hearted newbies have not hung around for long and is one of the reasons I would love to see all the rooms used.

I am not a mod, but it just seems common sense to me.

Anyway, I will pop into support from time to time, but if anyone needs to chat with me, just pm if you do not want to come into the Lounge.

Also, do not worry ... mish and I keep most of our stuff to pm's

Catch you all soon

you're quite right and now i feel a bit guilty.

Usualy if a mod is in the room they corner a newbie and take them to one side. So dont worry about it. Also, newbies tend to pop in and see what is going on then just leave without saying anything. So dont sweat it too much. C

Ahh but Marshy I always sweat it mate

Thanks for your comment, taken on board i'm sure I will give up eventually and end up back in the main room lol ... anyway take care and cya soon

hi i only just read this thread and i have been to the chat a couple of times but it was very lighthearted and when i have been to the chat has been because i was feeling a bit low and not confident enough to really join in and follow what was happening , so though i have been posting from time to time have not been sure about how to be involved in the chats. no problem just a comment. cheers rhi

rhiannon - i speak for myself obviously but suspect i am not the only one - the lightheartedness is often a mask and/or a way of lifting our spirits. my observations of chat room is that it can switch in a second from the wee jokes to sharing stories, asking for advice and rants. Please feel confident to just blurt out anything - i do and noone's kicked me off yet. Take care - speak to you in chat soon

Rhiannon,

I know how you feel and it can appear daunting when everyone appears to know everyone and you feel you are a total outsider.

I have found going in to chat in the morning when there are just a few people much easier. That way you can talk to one or two people and get to know them. Then going into chat the next time is easier...I have met some really nice people that way.

And more often than not you end up with a smile on your face regardless of how you started.

Hope this helps
