sean Posted September 11, 2019 I removed the link in the header but the Slack group still exists. I've also been considering shuttering the Slack chat though. Would that devastate anyone? Sean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would be really sad if it ceased to exist... Michael Edited September 11, 2019 by Michael Sternbach 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted September 12, 2019 I spent some time there and had some nice conversations. Missed the hayday, but I'd like to see it maintained on the offchance it gets piping again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted September 12, 2019 I liked the old chat room. I think it was a good source for getting people together. Under used though. I never got the hang of Slack. I messed up the password and seemed too much of a bother to set it straight. I'm getting old, passwords are my nemesi. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawei Posted September 13, 2019 From my perspective, the old style chat room that was integrated was used quite a bit. Once it went to Slack, it dropped off but a few kept a presence. The free slack has an advantage that it automatically deletes history... but the con is it is not tied to the website in any way and requires a separate registration. I think there should be something but integrated, if possible, is better. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
