RootsChat chatroom - how many rooms ??
« on: Thursday 06 November 08 18:17 GMT (UK) »
There are 6 rooms in the chatroom

Common Room 1

and
Common Room 2
England
Ireland
Scotland
Wales

Does anybody ever use any of the rooms besides the Common Room 1 ??

If they are just gathering dust and cobwebs, maybe we should get rid of them and save the expenses for the cleaning lady ??

Newcomers often have a wander around the rooms.

If common room 1 gets full there is sometimes an overspill into common room 2 - I'm not sure how often that happens these days.

Just heard that the main room, Common Room 1 only holds 20,
so the surplus automatically get the pleasure of cleaning up Common Room 2

Hi Bob

I think they just cause confusion.  However there would need to be some arrangements for dealing with the situation when Common Room 1 is full.

It sounds as if you are considering down-sizing.  If so, can you leave the facility to add new rooms please?  Some of those are so funny. ;D

I don't know whether we actually will change anything,
but I was interested to hear some reactions from chatroom users.

Would it be possible for room 1 to hold more than twenty as i have notice that quite often there has been more than twenty wanting to use it, if not you will have to keep room 2 for the overspill.
