(1) The original AU Chat thread was closed because it was causing problems with the forum software.

(2) A replacement AU Chat thread was started.

(3) It got shut down ... right now the shut down is temporary.

The AU Chats Thread was one of those game server based threads that had been around prior to EE Chats, and no longer has the same game server focus ... it is just another chat thread. So, we're processing the question as to whether or not to have lots of chat threads, or perhaps just a single EE Chat thread.

Feel free to leave any comments ...

If the new thread isn't causing any problems with the rest of the site, who cares? We enjoy chatting amongst ourselves in there and regardless of what you say, it isn't the same as posting in the ee chats.

no need for chats threads, hence what IRC is for. people dont own sections of this forum, no matter what they think.

No offense to the Aussies, you all know I ♥ you, but the AU Chat is unnecessary. While it originally discussed server activity, it's become a typical EE Chat thread. Besides, enough non-AU people post in the AU Chat anyway, so it's not exactly AU exclusive. Lastly, it'll be better to have the main EE Chat thread constantly active instead of having dead times with the AU Chat randomly at the top of recent posts.

I think if it stays closed some aussie members will leave, so if eskimo sammyjoe is one of those aformentioned members I'm all for its closure.

Reason enough for a new AU thread to remain open.

no, but the rest of the chats are still closed i believe

and aussie we all know ee chats would annihilate au chat if it wasnt monthly, but then the site would probably be dead now

Does it really matter if the second one is open? If you don't like it, don't post in it or visit it. It's tucked away in its own subsection of the forums and has more relevance than half the trash threads that are posted in the EE forum.

The purpose of EE Chats was to keep all the spammy banter to one thread. AU Chats has become the exact same thing. In order to minimize spam and accomplish the objective, the threads dedicated to containing spam need to be amalgamated into a singular thread.

They were only closed recently because when au went down, went got dragged there for some reason.

simple concept, OH.....if AU 2 is kept open, then all those that you closed should be reopened. I am going to make one for the state I live in right now. cool?

Good logic ... but let's hold off on that idea, mkay?

BF2S Forums Are multiple Chats threads necessary? And why the AU Chat was closed.
