Is video chat down again?

Question

I checked out chat yesterday and couldn't find video chat. The people in the chat room said they couldn't find it either, even though some of them had used it before. Does anyone know why it's not there or when it will be available again?

Thanks.

Answer 1

HI Jason and everybody else:

Not good news for the few people who seemed to have used it, but the voice chat was taken off the site again as not many people used it:

Unfortunately, the attempt to match people that were interested in chatting did not seem to work. Most people would click on the link and just never get matched. This is a frustrating experience for users. So we decided to take it off the site to avoid the confusion and frustration.

Answer 2

HI Jason, glad to see who I was talking to

I have asked the web creator and had no answer yet, I wonder what has happened, as only like 3 weeks ago we had a busy chat on the voice chat among five friends, even groups were possible, lots of fun.

I will post on this thread as soon as I know something new, thanks for pointing this out to me, I had no idea.

Thanks for checking into this. - Jason_Bryant, Oct 11, 2009

Well, that's unfortunate.

Maybe they should do it at certain times of the day. Like have a timer on the webpage saying "Next voice chat starts in [47 minutes]". If there were three or four chats per day, people would all show up at the same time instead of coming at random times and missing each other. If it every got too crowded, they could increase the frequency.

Oh well. I think I'll just go to the regular chat room every so often and see if anyone wants to do voice chat using another program.

Thanks for solving the mystery for us, Heidi.
