I have been concerned about the dead air in chat lately, don't have any ideas about how to pump it up either...I've noticed the overall slowdown in the site as well, but like OF, I don't know that any policy change wouldn't affect the closeness we have...sometimes I eagerly sign on, hoping for something the pique my interest, & suddenly find myself with nothing to say...or at least nothing that hasn't been said before...
