There's been a lot of attention paid to the chat room in recent weeks, and a lot of work put into it as well (Thank you, Emily and RopeFiend.). And still it sits empty most of the time.
I don't think that this is for a lack of interest, either. On more than one occasion, as I have been reading the posts late at night, I have seen that there was some poor, solitary soul pining away in the chat room alone.
So I said to myself, "Self, why isn't there a thread where people can try to set up a chat for a time when they know they will most likely be online?"
And I replied to myself, "Well, there probably is a thread like that somewhere."
"Have you seen one?"
"No. I just sort of assumed that there must be one."
"Well, you know what we say about assumptions."
"Mother of all fuck ups?"
"That's right."
"So what do we do about it?"
"Well, start a thread, of course."
"Oh. Okay."
