Personally, if we wanted to limit chat to real Cellar names I'm sure we could. I personally don't care. If coming in anonymously makes someone more comfortable and let's them bring up an issue they wouldn't put their name to, then fine.

If you want to go to a place where people have to use their real names to get in, try an airport lounge.

I personally hate popping into chat with my Cellar handle and finding noone there. Then my name is left on the log as popping in and out like some hapless loser poking his head in every bar looking for the 'cool' place.

And at some point I think I've seen a lot of cases where there were a few names and it looked like they were all AFK.

Running the Cellar has always been and is supposed to be like herding cats. I for one am happy to be one of the cat people.

Jesus, you guys are so technical. I guess URLs work better when there isn't a semi-colon at the end of them.
my bad. that is supposed to be a winking smiley but I left out a space.

While I can understand it's annoying when people don't identify themselves, I think it's equally or even more poor form when regular chatters 'impersonate' other members of this forum in order to either cause trouble or be plain arseholes.

I guess you can't have it every way you want it all the time though. Sometimes what other people want counts too.

I just thought of something. Can I just close the chat window or click to return to the cellar and I'd be logged off to chat? Or do I have to manually log off? Just wondering cuz I've never "log off." I've been assuming I get logged off automatically if I close the window or return to the forum. :p

Uh-oh. I may have done just that, Tulip. Only went to chat once, I think, but I am not sure I logged off.

if you close the browser or even the tab, in a few minutes it will time you out.

the preferred method is to type '/quit' or just click the word "Disconnect" right below your text entry line.

For some reason the semicolon is still on the link. go up to your address bar and delete the semicolon and hit return, that should work.

maybe this time it will work, but somehow I think it will be anticlimactic...

Dana, we know that. But we want you to feel safe enough to explore your feelings with us and really open up.
