I mean, I see chats as one continuous conversation and unless the conversation has been properly ended, it shouldn’t be necessary even if a night has passed.

    It’s interesting how some things have changed over the years when it comes to chat rooms. And how other things haven’t. When I first started in The Palace the internet was new, and chat rooms were for shut-ins, agoraphobes, and nerds. We basically lived on the internet. So it made sense to some to treat the room as a place you entered and left.

    Now you can sit on a discord server on mobile and have a life, pop in the middle of a conversation somewhere and then leave it. And some servers still suggest you greet a room like you live there.

    It’s like, when I was a kid, having internet access to all human knowledge, anywhere, would have been a divine gift. Now we all have computers in our pockets and some people still argue about basic facts that can be resolved instantly. We treat technology very strangely.
