At 10 AM Thursday 8th of June EDT the old chat server is going offline for at most 24 hours for maintenance.

We don’t anticipate the downtime to take 24 hours but we’re advertising that to be on the safe side should we run into any complications.

The new chat server will be fully functional during this time and we’re excited to see the whole community engaging with it for the first time.

Please post feedback if you have any issues regarding the new chat software, we have a category of forums dedicated to it at the bottom of the main forum page.

To those who are unaware, the new chat application is 100% custom built in house by our development team. We have the ability to add any features or make it look however we want, so let us know your thoughts and we’ll make changes that best suit the community as a whole.

Thanks for your understanding and I’ll see you in the new chat rooms!

The new chat rooms are not good. That's why folks keep flocking in the old rooms.

Just take it down for good. The ONLY good thing about the "old" chat is the people in it. The new chat interface is just plain better. If you take away the old chat option, everyone will learn the new interface.

I wouldn't know. I can't actually get the new chat to respond. Maybe it would work if I was on a PC.

I Googled "why do humans hate change"

"Part of the brain—the amygdala—interprets change as a threat and releases the hormones for fear, fight, or flight. Your body is actually protecting you from change. That is why so many people in an organization, when presented with a new initiative or idea—even a good one, with tons of benefits—will resist it."

"People fear change because they lose control over their role. The larger the change, the more they are going to feel like the change is being done to them. No one likes feeling powerless. During change, information is power."

Regardless of the new product being far more superior, it is always going to be received negatively by some and there is nothing we can do about that.

The facts are that the old chat software will stop working as your devices and browsers upgrade and the old chat software cannot be modified.

Unlike rival chat services who use off the shelf chat applications then customize it to their specifications, we built our chat software in house from the ground up. We can add/remove/change and customize it in anyway. We could create a theme that resembled the old chat if we received enough constructive and organized feedback from the community. This is what guides us towards the updates we make.

One line comments that you hate something after looking at it for a couple minutes and not even giving it a chance is not a practical step in the right direction for us to invest huge resources such as time and money into making something better for you, completely free.

So let's work together and tackle the real issues after you've used the new chat for a week or two, got a real sense of the issues that matter, and got past the initial shock of change.
