Are people not interested in the chat rooms? There seems to be only one where folk are chatting.

I'm more interested in the blogs myself, and it is only us old goats coming on here. Not many are active on the blogs. I guess it reflects the church at large. Fewer and fewer young people.

Not really I looked in once but there wasn’t much happening. I read & post on the forums but mostly log in to send or reply to messages…:-)

Hi Ontnet! I found that curious as well. It does seem like only one room... and so I wonder if it's an age thing.



Even these message boards are far under-utilized (which I find unfortunate), but I feel that may be due to other factors.

Of other factors, there are definitely other factors as well. But really, how many want to be on?

Being on here is like Paul calling out Peter. (Galatians 2) Or like Acts 15:36-39. So, some believers may not like being on the blogs because they have their religious toes stepped on or are happier in error or just don't like in-fighting and controversy. Some are just here, because they are bored to death while waiting for a message to arrive to their inbox. Surely, there are not many young people that get on here and it is the same old people all the time. Not much excitement here. Not many contributors. And not everyone is into the game of being on here. Some people have better things to do.

I really never understood the draw of chatroom's. It's seems the only way you could participate is if you can type really, really fast. But even then when others are participating there's so many messages scrolling by that it's nearly impossible to keep up.

You could meet with someone alone in a breakout room, but how do you convince someone to do that with all the messages flying by?

@reg007, for me I can't locate forums using the app, only on desktop can I access chat and forums.

for the prayer chat room, I've seen a little action there, folk posting short prayers. Not people in the room at the same time, but there's action. Perhaps just show up, post a prayer whether it's a general one or in response to another.

I do sometime access on my phone, but now with a downloaded app. Either way whether desktop or not, I can just click the arrow next to CHAT and get the option for Live Chat or Forums.



As far as leaving a message on the Live Chats, don't they disappear after a certain amount of time? Sometime I'll look in a forum with no one there and never find any leftover chatter.

Also, just tried to send you a message but it wasn't possible... wanted to share that I'm from the same place as you. Living out west so long, it's always nice to see someone from back home! :-)
