Metachat came up on MetaTalk, so I put in a plug for joining us over here. Thought those of you with an account over there might want to weigh in.

And Full(er) House also came up on Metafilter. I am giddy with excitement.

I added my plug! (And so did oneswellfoop, btw.) I think more of us should do as Miko suggests . . .

Of course I added a plug! There is no way I'm ever quitting OMG! BUNNY!-ing

Plug added. Saw the MeTa thread before this and my instant response on seeing the post was 'here's a perfect chance to plug MeCha' but so many of you beat me to it!

I got a message from softlord on MeFi noting that the MeCha Twitter feeds weren't working/out of date. I've got no idea who last had the keys to those He suggsted connecting them with IFTTT. If anyone's interested in taking on that project, please go 'head. If not maybe we should close those accounts.

It's not that they're not working I don't think, just that nobody is updating them? Another item to think about if we ever get to a decision point on the future of the place. I keep thinking I should get off my arse and actually propose something but I can't make my mind up as to what I think is the best way to go. Also, lazy.

That's what I thought - they're manual, right? I don't have the passwords and I don't think I even know who does.

Let's give it a little time and see what emerges from this little visibility boost. I think we'll have a better sense a month from now whether there's permanent traction.

Folks seem to be loving the "What's up" thread over there. Reads a lot like threads over here. I don't know a lot of people on the blue, but I still enjoyed reading that thread. Brings people to life. Like pinocchio. : )

Lots of pent up hunger for connection, me thinks.

Reads a lot like threads over here.

Yeah...in the end if this becomes a regular thing there it might not send new traffic here.

Yeah, maybe we might get this place going again. I'll try to be better about stopping by.

Oh, I clearly hadn't read all the way down on the meta. Still haven't finished. It's a surprise! What will happen next?

it seemed to be going “let's all not do this”, but then somebody did it.

I don't come here often, but it's such a soft and lovely place to be when I hit my "jaded by MetaFilter" limit. I am literally going to write down "visit MetaChat" on my planner a few days a week to remind myself, because I am An Old and there is too much Internet out there for me to remember.
