Some people might know me as the guy that just sits in chat. I do that so people see someone there and maybe they join and stay for a chat. I've had a few newer profiles pop in and maybe they come back. Chat could be so much better and be of better use for people to just talk or whatever else they want.Some people might know me as the guy that just sits in chat.

Why invest when you’re right, there is not many members in chat!
We would think that it’s likely due to the chat program being so inadequate!

You go on to say, “I’m encouraged by the number of visits we get each day and the online numbers.”

We totally agree!
You can see for yourself by clicking on ‘Members button’ and then click again….from one click to another it’s’ constantly changing as members are surfing other members.

The fact that they can’t/or don’t want to chat on the present Group Chat is likely due to a few things wrong with the chat program. Example… 4 members in the chat and you see the chat string while active. A new member comes in and all they see… is the 4 other members, but NO chat dialogue? So they leave!

And love to hear your ideas and I bet, you’ll instill/impart suggestions from members by sharing those ideas.

Hugs, K&G

Let's try that again, clearly pretty the return button on your phone sends the comment it doesn't allow you to skip a line. Anyways the chat sucks that's why no one uses it. When it did work well and didn't suck back in 2015 to 2017, it was full, there was a lot of people chatting. But no if you use it on your phone it's absolutely horrible. I'm thankful it's there but one of the biggest drops in engagement on this site occurred when the site lost the chat.Let's try that again, clearly pretty the return button on your phone sends the comment it doesn't allow you to skip a line.

If there were many members in chat and the collective opinion was that chat sucked I think I’d be more willing to create or invest in another chat program. I don’t remember the last time chat worked on CD? Probably 2015 or earlier. I know Tim always talked about doing it and at one point solicited donations towards it but it never go off the ground.

We launched this new version of CD about a year ago, March 26, 2025. I’m encouraged by the number of visits we get each day and the online numbers. But as the one site that is only about the GTA I’d like us to be a more important place in people’s minds when they are figuring out where to go for fun.

I have a few ideas but I am very open to suggestions about how we can be a better and more responsive place to visit.
