COLD DARK ROOM

Why?
I don't think it's a bad idea for members to find these chat threads.
it encourages people to spend more time on the forum.
Most of the CDR members post elsewhere and help out or have their own threads.
Kidnapping should be acceptable for the benefit of The Forum!
It'll pick up again.
Some people are too busy, some come and go, there's a couple of busy new members and this thread has been a massive surprise to everyone.
i thought it would just be me and maybe Lyn, Moozillion and Joe's Mum when I created it, but it's turned into an unstoppable monster.
But it's bound to have quiet moments.
It gives me a bit of a rest!
You never know how people will react, someone might take it the wrong way.
8 months, 16204 posts...hmmm

This is also why you shouldn't encourage these ideas I get; another one was to flood this thread with more posts to give you a bit of a workout in keeping up with them.

I think new members, especially, would be glad for the invite
it's hard to work up the courage to break into a new group cold, but with an invitation it's much easier! I say..harass, be shameless, self promote! If someone doesn't want to come over, then...they won't! I mean, I might not always want to go to the party, but I'm always glad I was included in the invite

As a side note, however, I was not invited to this thread. I totally crashed this party, claimed an armadillo, fed the snow leopard doritos and am now pricing squatters tents!
Yeah, but the number of things I've read, the number of times I've watched, the number of times i've nearly posted, but resisted.
Should be 50,000 by now, i reckon.
The one thing I do miss about the old format is the counter that told how much time someone had spent online.
Yeah, but then I post more replies that you have to read and moderate.
Anyway, I can get through 'em pretty fast.
if you overdid it, i'd just count them and move on.
i've thought about doing it myself.
Just post after post after post saying just one word or even one letter.
But i'd soon get fed up with it myself.

Yes, he is.

I'm also not keeping score.
Though keeping track of posts to try and 'crack' the scoring system did cross my mind.
Mostly, i've left it to people to find by themselves as said on page one.I think new members, especially, would be glad for the invite

I have once or twice (i think 4 times, actually) invited people for various reasons. (one didn't notice and one stayed one day), the others are still posting.
I understand what you say about new members, but this place isn't for everyone and a lot of people, even experienced members don't like it, don't understand it, or just get confused.
It's a personal promotion thread, all about me, cheese, quite interesting questions and my friends, old and new.
I make everyone welcome and try to treat everybody the same, but I don't really want to advertise.
Pretend Chat has the general talk function, i think.
Does he like Doritos ?
What flavour?
He's only ever eaten carrots before!
Crashing's what i want.
People who find The Cold Dark Room, read through a bit and stay or go as they please.
it's hidden away at the bottom of the Forum list and is all part of the game.
And i think i've said, you're most welcome.
That won't help.
i go off to other peoples' houses, do lessons, have parties and leave this on-line.
it doesn't mean i'm actually in the building, literally or figuratively.
I go to bed, i often leave it logged in to the forum.
I don't fly ninja mode, so it's the reverse, people think i'm here, when i'm not.
