User blog comment:Katarina Porisso/CPW Chat community dead for real?!/@comment-25052433-20150403221252

I never really had too much to say about the CPW chat, mainly because I was never involved with it. I did pop in there a time or two, but never stayed simply because the conversation was never related to writing or horror (at least when I checked in).

My biggest complaint about the chat community that we had here though was that if you ever took the time to check out their profiles, this is what you'd likely see. Most of them had been on this site for a while, and had less than 50 edits. In other words, they were just here for the chat, and were not really contributing to the site or the community.

In my opinion, this marginalized the very concept of attaching a chat option to this site. Add in all the fights, dramatics and general issues that this feature brought, and what you had was a big eye sore right on an otherwise fairly polished and concept driven community website.

The admins here did everything in their power to fix it, and the problems returned each and everytime. I for one applauded when they finally shut it down for good.

There were a lot of people that came in complaining that without chat, their lives were limited. If a chat room sums up your self value, I would say that you have far deeper problems to conquer than concerning yourself over a chat room.
