Re: UBPN Chatroom
Oh no, sorry everyone that I missed the chat. We recently adopted a dog and I've been going to the dog park in the evenings. I realize now that it collides with the chat time, so I'll have to go earlier next Wednesday so I can be back for the chat!

Re: UBPN Chatroom
i think they should just shut down the chat room. no one is ever in there. i check in there several times a day and about once a week someone has been in there and has been timed out.

Re: UBPN Chatroom
Jmar, we host weekly chats on Wednesday nights. Other than that there is likely to be no one on the chat. I'm sorry if you feel like no one is every online; we all try to show up on Wednesday but sometimes we get busy and are not able to make it. Personally, I've been preparing for UBPN Camp which is this weekend.
Log on next weeknight on Wednesday (Oct. 13), I'm sure I'll be on then! And check the very first posting of this thread for exact timings for your timezone.

Re: UBPN Chatroom
i say that because even on wednesday nights there is sometimes no one there either. i was there this past wednesday and no one else was there. there have been a couple of other times on wednesday that no one was there. one time there was someone there but did not stay but a few minutes.
