If you see this message in time I'll go into the room called 'Quilt Police Free Zone' tonight at 7pm English time. That should be 6pm in Belgium. Would that work? If not, make another suggestion. There must be a way to get together. Lorchen WOO HOO, if we're about can we crash your party, LOL

NicoleG OFFLINE Posts: 8	Hi there. I've never been in a chatroom but I'm willing to give it a try... in Western European time zone that is!! (I'm not a night owl) I would love to meet some 'locals' to talk about what's going on in our part of the world. Anyone interested? Nicole - Belgium

I wish I could be a chatroomer but it is just way too intimidating. First to have to think of something to say and then type it quickly. I'm not up to the challenge. Too much stress for me.

Karen, there are NO chat police

allowed when we chat. Speed & speelin acuricy

are not required. If so, I would have been ticketed and banned LOOOOOONG ago,

LOL. Hope to meet up with more TQS members in the chat soon. Let's get those rooms rockin' & rollin with good conversation, quilting or what ever else comes up!!!

ipquilter OFFLINE Posts: 622	I've used the chat rooms a few times. It's been a while, mostly cuz my 'puter doesn't like it. Also, when there are more than two or three participating I have trouble keeping up. Operator issues. However, I'm getting a new laptop soon so maybe I'll try again! Sherry inS MS, where I just spent my first night as an empty-nester. I think I like it!

I have just managed to find some people in one of the chatrooms for the very first time. I was quite excited. There were about 8 members listed, but only two of them talking. I thought that the normal thing in a chatroom is to say 'hello' to anybody new coming in. I waited for several minutes, read the conversation and then plucked up my courage and said 'Hi'. Nothing...... A few minutes later the two quilters finished their conversation and left the room. I must admit that I felt ignored. Am I over-sensitive here or do we need to state somewhere what polite behaviour in a chatroom should be like??

Lorchen

Sweet Lorchen, you are NOT over-sensitive!
I have had the same experience as you..I felt rather stupid. I said HI when I entered the room, but no one said HI back..and then they left the room. Its RUDE!!!
BUT, then again I have been in one of the chatrooms, made greate friends that would last for a lifetime. One thing we always do is say HI when other enters the room and try to include them in our conversation. We all have one thing in common, QUILTING, so we have something to say or ask anyone. And I think its a greate way to include our new members to our club too!

I hope next time you visit a chatroom you will have a real greate time, because most of us are wonderful people;)

Thank you received: 50

Linda (and everybody else), thanks for your responses. I resepectfully waited for a few minutes because two other members were talking. I then decided to say 'hello'. My greeting was posted and ignored. I waited a few more minutes and the two members then finished their conversation, said their good-byes and left. Ah well, better luck next time.

I'm a nightowl ny nature, but I think 4am my time is somehow just a little late, Linda.
