This is a li'l PSA regarding our chat channel.

When you enter, be sure to announce yourself. We have had MANY people come in, and stay for only a couple of minutes without saying anything, then leaving while everyone else was not looking at the page.

For those of you that don't know, Mibbit does not make a li'l blinking announcement in the tab when someone enters the chat channel. It only gives us a blinking notification in the tab that says "PEOPLE SAID STUFF" when people say stuff. When no one is talking, we are usually away in a different tab or window altogether, and will not notice if you are in. So when you get in, just drop a quick "Hey." If no one responds, say "Is anyone there?" and usually someone will respond by that point.

If someone DOESN'T, however, then we are either all simultaneously away from the keyboard, or some of us are a bit too engrossed in what we're doing and cannot respond, or have not noticed that someone has said something in the chat.

Please, don't enter and leave without saying anything. It gets really annoying when the same person with the same hostname enters and leaves without saying anything seven times in a row.

TL;DR: When you enter, SAY SOMETHING DANGIT
