can we get a vets chat room ? the chat rooms are nice but sometimes if the chat gets a little firlty or fun i feel kinda wrong 10 mins down the line chatting to a 15yr old or a room full of young uns (pls dont think im trying to be sleazy or make it a dating chat or anything like that), nothing wrong with helping or being nice to the yougnster or just generaly chatting but id quite like a a vets chat area if poss???
dont if any one else feels the same ????? (watch me get shot down in flames ... lol)
No I get it but other members of the site felt we where being rude then people started to come in and 'troll' so vets just stopped going. It is a great idea but previous experience tells me that it will not work.
Usually as well there is not much use of it because there are not that many vets that use the chat rooms really. It was a good idea, it just didn't work in practice! x
If we could think of a way to make it work, I would be more then happy to be the mod for the room. I mean, vets is my RYL hang out. And I think, we have many many more vets then we had before, which could give a bit more potential, but yeah.
Discuss it at more length, and I will see if it is worth me persuing further or not.
there are some peole here that arnt teeny boopers (omg i sound lke dad) thank god for that , ok u guys seam to know more about this thtn me how do we generate interest?
I hear you Pedro. i'm fine helping out teens. I won't flirt with them, made a bit of a mistake once, ended up reminding the other person that I'm 3 times their age.
Oh, do I feel old now.

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
New chat coming very soon, very soon - I'll be letting Erin test it out tomorrow night in fact and so long as she and the other Mods and happy with things we can say bye bye to this godawful flashchat forever!
I always thought it was a great pity Vets chat didn't work - but put it partly down to us not having a really proper chat system that was simple and usable and that worked for everyone.
I did get all excited when I saw the thread 'cause I thought there was a new room, so I'd definitely be up for a vets room. I don't know how you'd 'police' it though. Maybe we could just all talk about mortgages and scare the young 'uns off
I generally don't go in chat because the last time I did there were a few bad eggs being really harsh to another user, generally being obnoxious and doing tonnes of unnecessary swearing (like just for the sake of it and to p*ss ppl off) so that put me off quite a lot.
I think a Vets chatroom would be great though, we're all lovely and of course would never be immature or anything
I think vets chat would be a great idea and I'd definately use it. I've been in chat a couple of times but would use it more if us 'old folk' had our own room. I only really lurk in vets corner anyway, its not that I have anything against the younger generation and I'll try n help em out where n when I can...but...well...you know what I mean?
If the only true wisdom lies in knowing that you know nothing, then I must be a f***ing genius

a vets chat would be a good idea, but to be honest we kinda seperate o finto different rooms anyway when chat wasn't broke, and i think it is nice sometimes to talk to the younger peeps, and to help them with our aged wisdom lol!
hope that makes sense!!
When times get tough, the best we can do is remember there is better to come. If we can hold onto this hope, then hope will keep us free.
