Well, for one, 47 changed their hosting plan to allow more bandwidth usage on a faster server. The Chief Delphi boards are provided, as a service, to the community. The hosting isn't free, I wouldn't be surprised at it costing $90/month for the amount of bandwidth they go through.

They set very simple rules, very loose rules, for the conduct expected by people who use the service. If you don't remember them, take a look.

Actually, it cost about $135 a month for the service provider to host this forum.


Anyway, sure, one of the purpose of this forum is for FIRST participants to meet each other. Well, you've already meet each other. Its time to make those conversations private. The rest of us don't need to and aren't interested in seeing your conversation threads stay on top of the forum.

Again, there is NOTHING wrong with chatting with friends you meet through this forum, just don't clog up the forum because of it. If you want to keep an open thread for people to join in your conversation when they see your picture, go edit your picture description, add a link in it, and lead others to different place to post messages and chat with you.

If your thread does not come up to the first line in the forum every time you make a reply (which will be quite frequently since its a "chat), then by all means have your chat. But since that's not the case, and if everyone start doing this, then the chit chat forum will be packed with these "chat" threads, and people will have no way of seeing which threads are active and aren't. Imagine the first 50 threads are "chat" threads where people talk to others just about anything, and they kept being updated every day 7 days a week, 4 week a month. No one will ever be able to keep track of the forum except the ones participating in those chat threads.

So, please be considerate of others. We are not saying you should not chat with each other. Just do it some other place. Take my suggestion of adding a link in your profile or who-am-I picture. It will work just the same.

Thanks!
