Community Chat dead?

@clenchy I agree. No one has that much time to sit around and wait for others to join the chat. It can only work if Chat can show future time and topic so if people want, they can join and if not , they can read it later. Just my 2 cents!!

Agree with @clenchy there’s a lack of critical mass. The forum’s activity level has always varied, sometimes more sometimes less. Community chat is not dead it just shifted to other platforms that are more immediate and easier to use (Aneros Discord, Reddit, etc.). Keep in mind this community is minuscule. Generally, these alternate platforms have multiple topic categories of different interests. They are easier to follow and drop in a comment. The last few site overhauls that Aneros made to the forum have not been helpful, plus the few times the server was down for multiple weeks at a time compounded a drop off of interest and participation. The formality of the forum discussion is not as easy to navigate and has become archaic.
