It doesn't make sense that the WDS is free and available to non-memvers and the chat is not.

Why have chat at all when it is always empty because most users have no access ? If it were open I'm sure there wouldn't be repetitive topics ? I won't go further with my opinion, I was just wondering because I was under the assumption that this is a community supported site.

I don't pretend to speak for the administrators of this site but as a member i will say that We are thankful that the owners of this site have provided this service free of charge.

It is true that there are some features that are not available to regular members and I believe this link http://www.xoutpost.com/site-announce...donations.html provides further information regarding those features and what regular members can do to take advantage of them. All are welcome to take advantage of them at their convenience voluntarily with the understanding that their additional support is appreciated by the site administrators.

I have found that in my short tenure the administrators listen to the concerns when they are expressed by members and i'm sure that if you post your concerned here http://www.xoutpost.com/site-suggestions-feedback/ you may get a response.

Become a premier member, then you can use chat.



Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the chat business, until then become a premier member

Come on KaiFy. Surely daddy will give you $40USD.

Better yet, ask your dealer. He'll support the site that answers your questions.

Carry on.
Maybe something about the post frequency or something. IDK. I'm just procrastinating on the Premier front...

But then again, maybe not. You don't want trolls like kaify-gaiwany gumming up the chat, do you?

first thought: it was used as a special feature to encourage monetary support for this site.

second thought: no one uses it...so why not?

third thought: chatting melee...
