Chat is Dead

[Cynic 336]

I used it occasionally, and I had some fun times on it. It's completely understandable why this course of action has been chosen, however.

 

R.I.P Chat. 2011-2012.

[Daedric Pony 165]

I guess we will just have to resort to profile updates and messaging each other. =(

[Colon Leftbracket 971]

That's unfortunate. Chat will be missed!

 

I know it may seem kinda bleak, but the mods have their reasons and I stand behind them!

 

Besides there's always Skype and other methods of communication available so there really is no loss!

I am sad to hear chat is now dead, I am happy it makes your jobs easier but I am depressed, I don't use the forums often so I doubt many of you will ever see me again. I will be on every day to say Happy Birthday to everypony as normal. Goodbye Chat <3 Goodbye friends ( unless your on skype )

I would like to once again point out that we do have a Skype group that is used for chat, and that is nowhere near as glitchy as IP.Chat was.

Nevar forget 4/8/12

[MrJK 399]

I find it pretty amusing how almost everyone here says they are sad for it, but there isn't flat out revolt and rioting.

 

That's what i like about ponies.

[be my waifu 2,842]

I'm not gonna lie, this makes me somewhat sad

 

I was literally just logging on to go see what was going on in there since there was no one in the Minecraft server...

 

I mean, I haven't been here long, but still

[Tom The Diamond 1,830]

So wait, is this dropped because it was glitchy, or because of behavior in the chatroom? Cause the way some ponies are wording it, and the fact that it was threatened to be locked up if bad behavior continued was mentioned long ago are making it sound like that latter, which I really hope it isn't and that we're all mature rule abiding ponies here.

but the glitchyness wasn't really that big of an issue a little bit annoying at times but yeah...I am very saddened at the loss of chat

[Inactive01 5,299]

Chat was often too chaotic whenever I got on, so I never really felt like I had a voice. But when I did get a chance to speak, it was great. At least threads are focus now.

[Swordfishtrombone 384]

I guess when you put it that way... the mods are right. Chat was an area in which spam and bullshit were posted. And nobody cared about the forums. The whole new member never coming back thing was bad enough normally. Still, had some good times in there...

I think mainly due to randomness and lack of substance most likely

Not enough food?

[---------------------- 1,645]

I am not going to lie, I never liked the chat, I tried to get into it, but there were like 5 different, derailed, conversations going on at once,

I think we are better off with out that chat.

 

You served your purpose chat, but its time for your retirement

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,528]

To those of you who think you have "nothing to do" on MLP Forums, I just hope you realize that we are a sprawling website with over 10,000 discussion threads, an active roleplaying community, two game servers, and a deviantART group. There is still loads to do, if only you venture out into the rest of the site.

I am very sad at what happened because chat was a way that bronies can talk to each other and make new friends who are bronies and not feel mocked or made fun of and feel safe and socialize with each other.

 

I don't see anything stopping you from doing all that on the forums.

If you really want to talk to someone personally, exchange Skype or Windows Live Messenger ID's with them. Problem solved.

I've actually said as much to some who want to leave.

Skype is best poeny

[Vicke 3,189]

Er......?

I dont approve.

Loved the chat!

[Guest]

No... NO... NOOOO- wait... I never used it in the first place.

Still...

[Ron Jeremy 2,032]

I was hoping I could be there to see it go poof, but I was hollered at for something last minute. Oh well, I imagine that

when it poofed.

 

I already said my stance on the matter previously. Just saying this as a afterwards thing: While the chat might not be around anymore, I appreciate the time it was there, and everypony else should to. But like I said, the chat was a pile of mashed potatoes that was attracting people while the solid gold roasted turkey got cold. That analogy was bad and I should feel bad.

[PeachPalette 1,000]

Sad to see it go because I've met some great people because of it, BUT I hardly talked as is and probably won't miss it. R.I.P forum chat.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

And nothing of value was lost

 

While a fun and nice endeavor at first, it devolved into a incoherent mess of randomness. I stopped joining in when nearly every session broke down into spam and quick moving drivel. I feel for those who utilized the chat the correct way and received help while in the chat as that takes away an outlet for them to seek help but the addition of the help forum fixes that.
