Chat Room - Are we A Timid or Disinterested Group?

[partsnut]

Many of you should be well aware that the "Chat Room" has now been re-instated.

Bill "Binder" was quick to give of his time and personnal expense to get it up and running again for those that wanted it.

Unless I'm mistaken, nobody seems to ever be on it.
Are we a timid or disinterested group?

If you go to Pace Advantages "War Room", you can always get a conversation or opinion.

What makes our members any different?
Is it possible that most of us have nothing to say?

It a great tool to learn and discuss a race before it goes off.
Or if something needs to be explained in detail that is not clear to you.
It's a place to ask questions.
That's what this site is all about. To learn from each other.

I can't understand why those that need help would not use this valuable tool.

So, in conclusion I will quote my drill sargeant from my Fort Dix days and a past life.
"Sound Off Like You Got A Pair"

My experience of various forums has been that the chat room is used a lot more when you can see who is already in there prior to entering. That tends to get people to try the chat room that might not otherwise.

Why not set a time when we can be there in there in the chat room. I think if we do this it will help, I used a chat room duringthe old day trading days andd we had a riot there!

Doug, Good Idea, sounds like a plan.

I think a great time would be on Saturday, about an hour before the race of the week, which should put the time at approxamately 3:30 PM. EST
Let me know what you think.

The contest race should be an interesting topic as well as well as selection and contender methods, software, the match-up or anything anyone wishes to discuss. There's plenty to talk about.
I believe in the no holds barred, honest approach and everyones opinion should be respected. However, we also don't want to offend anyone, unless of course they deserve it.
I hope everyone wlll participate.

Now that the matchup book is out, the chat room, is a great thing to have ,to help us if we don't understand something.

Is there anyone else beside me and shoeless that can not get in?

Great idea Emilio, I was thinking the same here, say what exactly is happing when you try to get into the chat room? I need to know what operating system you are using and what version of Java you have also, Doug

[emilio840]

And here is the info after I installed Java. I copied it:
