It is kind of an inside joke among the Admins. In the first couple of months after starting LTBBQ - we had some members that insisted how important it was that we have a chat room. We researched it - and found one that works very reliably with the software, and installed it.
To this date - I do not know that it has ever real been used.
What we need is for a member to be the spark plug, and start a regular "Tues evening chat " or whenever is selected as ideal for the folks that agree to try it. Or - you could bug any of our vendors to make an appearance during the scheduled chat, and talk about and answer questions about their products.
