Chat Support Evening. 20th November at 8pm.

[griddlebone]

Hello!


On the20th November at 8pm RYL is going to be running a chat support evening as a live chat discussion.

This evening will be based around the topic of Self Harm. There will be 5 members of RYL who have agreed to talk about their experiences around this topic. Some are fully recovered and some are going through the recovery process.

There will be time after each person has said their experiences for other members to ask questions. Please remember that these questions should be in accordance with the RYL rules and under no circumstances will rule breaking be tolerated. After the last member has talked about their experiences there will be time for other members to discuss their own issues too.

The members speaking have given up their time to do this and some are not experienced in chat so this should be taken into account. Any flaming/trolling/unkindness etc will not be tolerated.

Anyone who does any of the above will be kicked straight away. We usually work on a three strike basis in chat, however because we expect there will be a large number of members it is important that things do not escalate and tempers dont flare. This is an emotive topic but it is something that we would like to run more often on different issues and if this one is a disaster there will be no more evenings run.


If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask!

Liv

Head of Chat.

[Greyscale]

This is 8pm GMT?

[griddlebone]

It is yes.x

[LizzieRose]

Damn, I'm gonna miss part of it or all of it. :/

[griddlebone]

Unfortunately we only had UK people volunteer and because most of the members/mods are in the UK its easier to work on UK time.

[Delephynite]

So who's coming to the party?

[FabulousMike]

If i'm around and not too busy I might pop in.

[griddlebone]

So who's coming to the party?

EVERYOOOOONE.x

[LizzieRose]

Except me, but that's fine. I got PewDiePie and Left 4 Dead to fill my night. :3

[ASkatersDream...]

may pop in after work

[Fitzwilliam]

For those NOT able to make it, would it be possible to save the chat log and then make it available if members miss it?
I'm just querying, not sure how the chat log save function works.

[griddlebone]

I can try and save a log if anyone would like it!I cant promise though just incase my internet crashes during it.x

[Fitzwilliam]

I was just wondering if it was possible. (: Just a suggestion, obviously it depends if anyone wants it.

[griddlebone]

Its a good idea!I dont mind saving it but I cant 100% guarantee that I wont get disconnected and lose the log thats all :] x

[Fitzwilliam]

Thanks. (: And I understand that chat's connection can be a bit dodgy...usually cuts out at the most important part! Aha
Outta curiosity can anyone save a chat log? I would offer to also try, but unfortunately I am at work till 9pm.

[talaiporia]

Anyone can, so I'm sure someone will be able to save the log if there's a problem.

[Pi.R^2]

This sounds great! I will certainly try to be there :)

What a lovely idea.

[griddlebone]

Just bumping this because its tonight.

As this is the first one there may be some waiting around for people to arrive and it may not run completely smoothly but please give it a chance as it would be lovely if it were a success!

Thanks.

Liv.

i am going to be there i will save logs if you disappear liviar. who are the volunteered talkers?

[Left Phalange]

I'll try and save logs every hour or so if that's helpful? I'll probably be around :)

[talaiporia]

Think it's only lasting an hour. :)

[griddlebone]

Thanks nic.

I havent set a time limit but after the members have said their piece itll basically be other people talking it out so thats ok to go on as long as people want it to.

We currently have 3 definites and 2 maybes for tonight. So if anyone fancies talking at the last minute let me know :p x

[Patch.]
