[QUOTE="Jardel_Karabella, post: 2561038"] No, I don't have to. You know why? Because nobody can log in with my account. Not only is your question pointless it shows you don't understand what is meant by chat site security. Mel however seems to know what I'm talking about so you should leave answering those concerns up to her. Without a doubt necessary? Well I'm sorry I have a doubt and that's why my questions are directed at Mel, who unlike you, does work for WotC and have an inside view as to the motives behind these decisions. Able to RP without them? Able to. Please note that the conversation is not in regards as to whether it is physically possible to RP on the new chat software but rather whether is it [i]desirable[/i] to roleplay on the new chat software and whether it is sufficently desireable that we will choose to come to ISRP rather than another chat site. And as for your statement on Cheetahchat, what about the many chat patrons like myself who use IE to log in even though we use another browser so that we [i]can[/i] see the top frame? Don't we deserve some consideration too? No. If Mel's addressing of this issue to date was enough for me I wouldn't be posting here would I? As for threats of population migrations, I suggest you do what I do and let Mel worry about them, she is the boss after all. You know what? Studies show that most people won't write in to complain about a product, they'll just abandon it. Ergo if you have a good number of people writing in to complain about for the same objective reasons it's likely there's a large amount of them willing to just quit for the same reasons. I don't care if it was the janitor or the CEO who made promises that weren't met, if I company promises you something to get a ten thousand dollar sale and then just outright fails to deliver is at best of questionable credibility. To put it this way: If they can't even work out what their software does and doesn't do why should we believe anything they say it does or doesn't do? I find it incredibly fallacious that you seem to think you are in a position to know why any particular chat room operator makes a decision to change software [i]including[/i] Wizards of the Coast. Given that companies always have to consider a huge variety of factors that influence their business decisions. Perhaps they have changed their needs and ROOMS hasn't changed with them? Perhaps another company made a bid and offered a service more like what they wanted? Perhaps the company decided hosting a chat was no longer viable? Perhaps the new Technical Chief Officer prefers using the back end of another chat software? Including perhaps, just perhaps that the company Digichat is in fact trying to encourage people to use their new software rather than their old, but doesn't want to make bad relations by just dumping the old software? You can PM me for Russell's email address, I believe you owe him an apology. Oh, and incidently: I'm touched that you have such regard for dinosaurs like me based purely on how long we've been around, honestly. It's nice to know that you care. Of course, I'm hoping that Wizards has a slightly greater concern since old foggies like me tend to be have a greater disposable income and buy more books, thus contribute more to keeping things like... this chat site, running. A little respect that all I ask. [/QUOTE]
