What do you mean? There's a chat here. Just click that little message bubble looking thing up ^ there between games and search. It can be disabled though, but you have to send a lot of d-pics before they disable your chat window. 🤨

Sorry. ..yea, there's no chat here. Idky. I just thought it was funny the way you disassociated as if you're not one of us by now😄
Jayciedubb · 56-60, M
@Magicianzini you're funny. You don't recognize entire, established generations of people, probably the generation that your own parents are from, without whom, you wouldn't even be a thought. It's not surprising to me that you would say nobody recognizes micro generations.

What you refuse to acknowledge is that there is more info implied when someone identifies as being from a micro generation. You were born into a stagnant culture that remains stagnant to this day. That's why you don't understand the difference, but there are differences, and the Baby Boomers and Generation X experienced many differences throughout the spectrums of both generations.
@Jayciedubb
You were born into a stagnant culture that remains stagnant to this day.

And who made the culture stagnant..

You just destroyed your own point. There's nothing left for me to do here. Just this sheet reply of your own, is just even more reinforcement for it all.

Can't you people even try to talk to us in ways we can understand. Is that really so impossible for you.
@Jayciedubb
The later generations seem to be experiencing the opposite, where they blend together due to lack of contrast. The best examples are in fashion and music.

You've got to be BLIND.

Chatting is sinful and should be avoided by any pious SW member.

What are you scrubbing with. And how are you grasping it?

During that weird period between EP and SW a bunch of us were on AnswerMug and we blew up that Chat every night - and yes it was fun.
@SW-User Lol….. thanks. Ironic too because if the Mug had a simple mute or block feature all would have been well. People, especially those who always complain about being blocked, oftentimes don’t realize how valuable those features can be.
SW-User
@OlderSometimesWiser Exactly! Honestly that's why I left .
sparklingdiamonds · 51-55, F
@fun4us2b oh gosh..yeah..I forgot about that...😜
That's not a feature i would like personally. Messages and post comments are good enough for me
ToLivePeacefully · 31-35, M
I think its because Its more expensive to deploy and maintain servers or services that offers chat features.

Also site is primarily for sharing posts and comments.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
AI couldn't keep up with the monitoring. And believe it or not that is crucial on this site.

Even PMs are monitored by AI.
@DeWayfarer

Yes, that's typical. It's not a problem for AI on other sites though, but yes... someone else brought up cost, and that's probably the issue.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Magicianzini That's apart of the problem alright. They are even using the cheapest AI they can get. These personas are cheap AIs.
Nate931 · 31-35, M
Didn't EP have chat? That was so long ago, I can't really remember.
Matt85 · 41-45, M
it does though
there's a group of people who have known each like forever
and they talk smack to each all the time
its quite funny to read
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I don't like chat so I wouldn't use it anyway
fun4us2b · M
@Justmeraeagain There aren't that many here, after a few tries you'd get the hang of it.

Plus we're all pretty familiar here - thing is, we'd ignore the Q&A a bit...
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@fun4us2b That's good for people who like that but I'm not one who does.
I'm not putting anyone down, but to me it was like a tourette's conference on steroids, because of the way my brain works not because of chatters, particularly.
@Justmeraeagain

That's ok. I didn't mean people should be forced to chat LMAO .. only chat if they're interested.

In chat rooms, most participants are voyeurs. You could just fit there.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
I am always on my best behaviour.
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
Yea I crashed their app
@Donotfolowme

No! LMAO .. eyes
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
@Magicianzini ugh! Boring
@Donotfolowme 🤔🤣
Manofoz · 61-69, M
We re all sextìng
@Manofoz

Is that why it gets so quiet here at times. 🤣🤣
Manofoz · 61-69, M
@Magicianzini thats my reason
BillyMack · 46-50, M
Chat rooms used to be awesome.
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
EP used to have a live chat option, that was cool
gregloa · 61-69, M
Isn’t that what we’re doing?
@gregloa No LMAO
GoFish ·
They just never.. people have their own chat forms but actually the inbox messages are like private chats because they have live updates .. the message board er question feed are like a slow chat 😅
We can't have anything nice here... look at the chaos that is the images tab - and what the video feature descended into... 😱😱😱

@HootyTheNightOwl

I did check out a lot of the images and I just saw a lot of selfies and travel pics. I guess I was lucky somehow.

I understand your point though.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Not many here like to chat.
It would probably be a waste
laurieluvsit · 31-35, F
Members can chat privately in PM

or do you mean like a public forum section for public chat?
laurieluvsit · 31-35, F
@BillyMack
I always assume the best first not the worst.
Thank you for being nice
@laurieluvsit

I don't even see a private chat. Just an email type private messaging option. I could be missing it.

But yes, I meant a public chat with various participants.
Manofoz · 61-69, M
@Magicianzini i have no idea what is meant by chat. We have private chat and we have public chat. Now tell me what is chat. ESP or something?
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
It would be disasterous
Pretzel · 70-79, M
seems like we have enough unsolicited emails from catfish and get rich quick scammers - do you need another method? :)
Tahitiangrandma · 70-79, FVIP
Well nobody would be wearing pants or whatever 😏 lol including myself 😜
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Most in here do not have the social development to support it. Many cannot even handle a direct message.
@MasterLee

Ah geeze, I was hoping this wasn't the case here. I guess it's just everywhere online now ...
TravisTx · M
You have to chat in public or use the naughty box here. 😅
sparklingdiamonds · 51-55, F
There used to be...it used to be called the Experience project ( EP) back in the day....apparently someone met with a guy she's been talking to on here and ended up as chopped suey in his freezer..can't remember any other deets...somehow it (EP) got closed down and reinvented itself as SW
@sparklingdiamonds Nope, it was an entirely different website.

@sparklingdiamonds
@SnickersDOM Thank you for this, I remember reading the linked post, but I couldn't remember who wrote it to link to it myself.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
Were you all bad?

Yes.
GoldnJulz · 46-50, F
Good question!! I remember EP having a chat feature so I’m going to guess that it has to do with the fact that it’s hard to police the chat feature from having illegal content and minors being exposed etc.
Wish we could have nice things… but I understand why we can’t.
There are too many freaks here and it would require 24/7 moderation. It would be a sick sausage fest.
@ostfuidctyvm

Good point. I guess the site is too small for peer-moderation.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
@ostfuidctyvm accurate
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@Magicianzini more like peen-moderation...
SW Team would never be able to control most of the female's verbal abuse
helenS · 36-40, F
@ShenaniganFoodie Yes I feel like I've been muted by many...
@helenS We have a Gang within SW, well known by the SW Team & monitored closely.
helenS · 36-40, F
@ShenaniganFoodie The Gang probably blocked me a long time ago perhaps?
