I am too slow for chat. By the time I think of something witty to say to comment #1 people are on to comment #3. There's big silences.

I like looking at faces touching ect.

Some people are good chatting blind.

I need all of my faculties to chat even in rl.

Chat is people you know from the cellar having a beer and shooting the shit. There's a hell of a lot less drama there, and I can't think of any 'shit' from there that's spilled out onto the cellar - in general the flow is the opposite way. But mostly, people just want to relax and chat.

I don't chat often, but when I have I've enjoyed it. It is a lot like hanging out in the bar with some buddies. Unless someone is a jerk, everyone gets along and laughs. That's been my experience, anyway.

And with the "Chat Police" the jerks can be booted.
FWIW - I have talked to a few people in chat who have not joined or had not at that time.

It has changed the culture. But I'm not entirely sure quite how. Or whether or not it's a good thing. In some ways it is. It does allow you to get to know people at a slightly more immediate level. I just wish i didn't have to become nocturnal to take part lol.
UK chat time might be when ... ? (Not at the moment - got a lot on ... but in principle)?

That would be interesting, to say the least. I thought chat kinda drifted off in interwebz space after it scrolled off the top of the screen. Like a radio transmission.

Chat is meant to not be permanent. I would stop hanging out there if it were. When I post on the cellar I have to take into account that the wrong person might read my post, or that I'll have to re-read it and regret it. Not really either of those worries with chat.
I think its bullshit that its even being brought up. Drama spills over into chat more often then the other way around. That is why its kept "drama free."
Point out examples of "chat drama spilling over."

Thats why I said this. I will contend that the whole LJ-bigV thread stemmed from LJ having a problem with BigV from the cellar board before the chat thing ever happened.

I stated that the opposite of what UT said is also true, that's all.
I've seen any number of snarky remarks that the poster claimed was justified because of some undefined thing the targeted person said/did in chat or a PM. That leaves the rest of the board up in the air as to whether it was justified, or the poster was just being shitty. It's like listening to one end of a phone conversation.

Nothing crawls up my ass, everything is outbound.
