It is hard to believe that the Chat Room has been around and busy for almost
3 years. Over that period of time there have been many live chats on Monday
evenings. We have had as many as 15 participants in a single session,
lasting over two hours. The average has been in the area of 6 - 8 persons
per session.
During the past year many things have happened that seem to have reduced the
participation in the Chat Room to almost ZERO, on most evenings in the past
several months. There is less access money to go around, the Zenith 601
really took a big hit in popularity with all the discussion about possible
design problems, the economy has had a big impact on building anything,
including experimental airplanes. The core group, on the Chat Room, has
slowly diminished to the point where myself and a couple of others are about
the only ones even stopping by on Monday evenings. I also think that free
Cell Phone minutes, email, and the many blogs and forums have replaced the
need to ask each other questions in real time Chat Rooms. Thoughts and
questions can be easily posted on line, and a wide variety of answers will
be provided, as many come and go over a day's time.
Due to the lack of any real activity, I am going to stop advertising the
Chat Room for Monday evenings. The Chat Room will not be going away and
will always be there to be used at your discretion, 24/7. Please feel
free to make your own arrangements with other to chat if you wish. Or, if
you really need to live chat to help you make a decision or get some updated
information, post a time you will be at the chat room so others can join in
and exchange information with you.
I will be at the Chat Room this coming Monday evening, just to see what may
be going on, but tomorrows chat room notification will be the last one
posted, at least until there is a real need to do so again.
Thanks to all of you who have support the live chat, over these past years,
it has always been fun getting to know you and follow your building
progress.
George
