The chat a number of years ago was usually busy. It helped me a lot when 'riding the wave' many times. There were a couple people in there last night that helped me a lot. I got through a heavy wave just chatting away. I'm not sure why it's not as busy. It's nice just to talk to someone when no one else is around. Plus, they understand and are supportive. I hope it picks up. I'll hang out in there as much as I can when I'm on here.
