Chat

Hi all,
I am new and was wondering if the chat room is ever used.
I have peeked in several times and always seem to be the only one in there.
I have sat there talking to myself for a bit ,but always seem to know what IM going to say next....JK

The chat rooms used to be utilized a great deal... great place for people to "meet" and talk about things travel and not travel related.

However, I have noticed a significant drop in visitors lately. I rarely see anyone in there anymore.

Chat is actually still quite busy on weekday nights at around 11PM eastern time (US). There are about a dozen or so people in there most nights, but you're right, otherwise it's empty.

Welcome to FlyerTalk and hope to see you there, flyinbanana!^

flyinbanana,

Chat's a funny place. We can have 25 people one night, and no one may be there the next. The 11:00pm - 1:00am eastern (8:00 - 10:00 pacific) seem to be the busiest times.

We talk miles, points, and etc.

There's a group of regulars and irregulars. Young and old. Adults and kids.
If you're interested in visiting with us, we'd like to have you join us. We don't bite.

Welcome to Flyertalk flyinbanana.

dhammer53 is spot on about the "we don't bite" comment. But if a banana makes its way into the chatroom, flyin or not, then all bets are off lol

I especially like mine mixed up in my bowl of Rice Crispies, delish!

What those guys said.

It's pretty busy at the specified times, and we play nice with newbies.

Come one, come all. You might find yourself getting talked into a Do or three...

Currently 11 as I post this, but the window of opportunity is narrow

I stopped by there the first time for just a couple minutes as I was very tired.
Interesting to say the least

Yes, there of course those that seem totally tuned out until some phrase or word just happens to be entered. Amazing how awake and involved they suddenly are-- uh huh!

The chat room is alive and vibrant as long as you pick your times!

Of course, for someone from the "other" Hemisphere like me, that can be quite challenging .

Tonight (my day, though) we had 20 people in there at one point. Lots of regulars.

Welcome to FT Flyinbanana . Hope to see you in chat one day, the more the merrier!

Hello Flyinbanana and welcome to FT!

Yes, as the other find FTer's have stated, the Chat room is used and primarily in the late PM US east coast time Don't know why unless work has something to do with it I met Downunder girl there my first time in the Chat ^
