I don't get it!!

This is just a few observations about our site here. This is meant to be 'tongue in cheek' and not harsh criticism. Enjoy!

There are three rather strange features of this site. Have others noticed these features? ( or non features?)

#1. When I go to 'Online Writers' I will see something like this. 331 writers online. 153 members and 178 guests. Who the heck are these 'guests' and why do they outnumber the members? A membership is free, so why are there so many nonmember guests? Who are these shy people?

#2. Why does a particular writers status always start with the single word "I'm"?  Do the powers at be at this site of writers really believe that the start of our status sentences should always start with " I'm"?  Can I be the only writer who believes this to be odd?

#3. Why is there not a real time chat feature somewhere on this site for writers to chat with one another? Haven't the powers that be at this site ever heard of an IM chat service like Yahoo messenger or MSN messenger? There is forum here. But when I checked it out the last entry by a writer at the forum it said:  "two weeks ago".   lol 

I love this site so far. I have already made some friends. But these oddities make me wonder a bit.

Don't take this too seriously. I am just trying to be humorous and not offend anyone.

there are people out there that like to read poetry and stories but may not write them...Status I'm..I suppose we are always in the verb status in life..but I agree with you it's a silly feature..and I can't imagine chat on here..I would never get any reviewing or reading done..LOL

I don't know how well maintained the site is. Some speculate the administrators have abandoned it.

[Samuel Dickens]

Yes, I've wondered about the "online writers", also, but not too much. You can chat all you want with one member at a time via messages. The "I'm" thing...you're right. It doesn't always fit with what you want to say. There's a way around it, but I don't know how to do it. No offense do I see, Kyle.

nice observation - perhaps put it on the blog area - its more of a conversational piece -

i'm glad there is not a pop up chat - this is a writers site not a hook up place
