This is mostly for those of you who haven't or don't use it. Why not? Im curious because I seem to see the same people over and over. Maybe it's time zones?
 
I didn't use to because i would often forget about it. Now like 2 people remind me everyday and it's become part of my daily routine 😛
 
I chose "Never" (although I have used it about twice before) but I don't intend to use it.

I just don't like it, to be honest. When I'm online I tend to be doing 4/5 things at once and the chat is just too distracting.

i love your kean winchester banner :D
I'm not very good at thinking of what to talk about (hence why my posting on here is generally sporadic), so I wouldn't know what to say and don't want to come across as an idiot.

oh silly girl. there are lots of people like msfantastico87 who do plenty of talking ( <3 )...everyone will love you
When I have time on the computer to be in the chat go in. I don't always have time cause I dont like a million things on the computer at once. But I love going in the chat.

I've tried it. But it was a long time ago now.

I'm just too slow for the chat.
Not fun when you always are so far behind with your answer so it's no point posting them anymore.

I even get 'are you still there?' messages when chatting with just one person on MSN lol.

/SK
 
I pop in there every now and then when I have the time. I'm usually doing several things at once while online so the chat can become distracting; although more often than not something else I'm doing distracts me and I forget I am logged into the chat.
 
Never.

When I was on Staff, I used to go in there for about an hour or so whenever I was online, because that was part of our job, but I was never very active, I just looked out for the same stuff I looked out for on the boards and dealt with what needed to be dealt with. It was never something that I actively wanted to be doing.

Like Kean, when I'm online, I tend to be doing a million things at once, and I just don't have the attention span that it takes to be actively involved in the chat. I'll get distracted by fic or art, and I'll lose the whole grasp of the conversation.

Back in the old days, when we had a million people in there at once, things moved way too fast for me to grasp the conversation, and I would be too slow to keep up and I'd get annoyed if I missed something.

That's the main reason I won't take part in a chat based RPG, because things move to fast for me, and I'm scared I might miss something important for my character or integral to the plot.
 
I'm online sometimes. I like chatting, you get a quick response and get to know more people on BB. It's tricky with the timezones though, sometimes a lot of people are asleep when I'm online I think. 🙂
 
I haven't yet. Although I don't rule it out, I'm very conscious that I'm older than most people here and also male and I wouldn't want to cause anybody problems if it was found out that they were chatting online to a man in his thirties.
 
I used to be in it aaaaaaall the time. But then I took a break and everything had changed and then I had a new computer and I didn't have an IRC client and then I couldn't be bothered setting it up and then I forgot. 😛

I'll see if I can get it sorted out with the new settings though, cause I'd like to get to know some of the newer faces around her a little more. 🙂
 
I am in there often sometimes every day for a few days. I still wish I could be in there more because it is so much fun and It gives me typing practice as I am trying to get my speed and accuracy up. which is why I type everything I can get my hands on. 🙂
 
I did it a few times when we used to have a re-watch schedual. and that was pretty fun, discussing the episodes with a couple of other people (though it usually consisted of a lot of comments about Xander's clothes). I don't know why I don't use it - I just don't think of it when I'm on the boards.
 
I just want to say that I use it sometimes, but since most people seem to not like chats since they move too fast, it's usually pretty empty when I get in there. Which, in turn, means it can be really slow and that causes me not to go very often.
 
I use it a lot if I'm in a fast-paced mood. But if I'm feeling rather slow (which I have lately), even a slow chat gets to be a bit too much for me. But I do love just going in there and hanging.
