Yes, Tanz... I agree. Minus their appearance in chat the last little while has been a breath of fresh air. There is no reason whatsoever why they should feel the need to flaunt their personal experiences with everyone when in fact there are other (empty) rooms available. I don't like gossip but these incidents have led to some frustrations among many (even though I try to ignore them)!

Once upon a time, there were three active areas of SFF, the chats, the blogs, and the magazine advice lines. Folks didn't talk about the other areas.... what happens in Rome, stays in Rome. The three chat rooms were that way too, often each one had a life of its own.
But people like you describe seem to want to ruin it for others, no matter where they are. That is why there was such a mass exodus a few years ago and so many left SFF altogether and are at face book. We see that happening in the blogs now, and I fear soon they will be like the magazine advice lines: deserted.
I guess enough people join SFF and contact others through other options or else SFF would shut down completely. Sorry that chat is being ruined too.

TOO MANY CHATTERS OPENLY CRITICIZING OTHERS WHOSE INTERESTS THEY DO NOT SHARE. I REALLY BELIEVE THE INTEREST IN CHAT IS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIFFERENT INTERESTS FROM MINE. JUST SAYING.

So true mrsjoe... but years ago there was also 'private chat' that many in their situation, would often use. The private chat feature was done away with awhile ago, unfortunately. But that is still no excuse to monopolize the general conversation. Actually most of the time they're hilarious... discussing their various fishing experiences & types of fish, some of which have a sexual connotation. LOL

I had been going into the chat rooms for years when I was kind of drifting aimlessly but I've now found many other things in life that have taken my interest; so now I rarely come in to stay for more than a few minutes, just to see if anything is interesting in a blog. I rarely go into chat but will occasionally. There are some really lovely people here in amongst it all but a few bad apples can really spoil it sadly. Keep using iggy, I do and it's a more pleasant experience in here. T.C.

Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

That's the kind of chat I remember from years and years ago. A lot of laughter.
The private chat was great, but there was also another way to connect with SFF people we wanted to meet that were not in chat. I can't remember how it worked, but I sometimes would get a message from someone...... it wasn't the email section, it was more like a private type chat.

I don't understand how their Iggy has windows and mine doesn't. lol lol

They say for example I am in their Iggy, but yet they still comment and add to conversations I am having with others.
