    ZP Chat Button?

    There is no longer a ZP chat button on the front page of the site. I am assuming that this is intentional; the last time it wasn't there was after a rollback in info. and it pointed to Smash's chat client. This time, there is just no longer a button.

    My question is, why get rid of the button? The #zeropaid p2pchat is unofficial, but does not reflect poorly in any way on the site as a whole. It is just a place for posters to interact in real time. Why limit the interactions of the posters on the site to have a common real-time place to meet and create community?

    I invite rational debate on this. Time and time again I read comments and generalizations posted by Sephiroth based on events that occured almost a year ago. The chat is a fun place to meet each other and talk. I invite people to come to the chat and see what it is like firsthand, not to just generalize what they believe to be the case.

    Chat is a constantly changing abstraction. It changes by the people that interact in the room and what they bring with them and therefore its state is ephemeral by definition and difficult to pigeonhole since it is ever-changing. Condemnation of chat is silly, since these same people that criticize its state can change it through their inclusion.

    Make some friends posters, check out the chat:

And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."

    I take it all back. The button is not there. I had a cached version of the page. Why is the button gone?

    Your assumptions that i have anything to do with this is completely wrong because i have nothing to do with it. Everything i posted in the past was accurate and not a generalization which i bet not much has changed either. Anyways brining that up is pointless because it happened a long time ago so it doesnt effect things one way or anything and i think its pathetic, and yet again im being blamed for chat which is not my responisbility or my problem.

    I dunno I hope they put it back. I have real fun in there talking to other members and discussing issues. Nothing to bad is being said about anyone. We don't flame about the site we just have lifes discussions and debates on politics which usually can't happen on the forums. So why take our only way to do that away?

    Consider chat as a free tech support for the forums and site in general. You can only lose something by removing the only link to it. ;-)

    My best guess is that one or more of the #zeropaid operators are in conflict with Jorge.

    You have time and time again referred to the people that use chat in a negative manner... talking about them as though they were a "chat mob" with vested interests against the site, when in fact the people that use the chat are just the ordinary members of the site and others that join them. Your current words are a thin veil that you are using to obscure your antipathy for the chat. I am sure that you and the other mods have talked about the chat in your "crib" in a less than positive light. More than likely the removal of a link is due to comments made in this invisible place.

    If Sephiroth is not involved, I would like to know why the link was removed. I cannot think of a good reson for it to have disappeared.
