New RP standards in Chat!

[Libby]

So, something many people have been asking for, for a good while, is the freedom to publicly bang in the main chat. So. Whether you're an exhibitionist, a voyeur, or you're just too lazy to go to a private channel, you're in luck! Oh, also if, y'know, you just want fuck. So have at! And have fun. Keep in mind though, this is a trial. Depending on how it turns out, we'll either keep it going or it'll get nixed after a bit. Show us you guys really want this!

[Armin Lovatt]

Oo! Looks like I came here just in time~

[Timber]

Awesome!

[Ginger]

Awesome!

YEA IT IS

[Kozack]

Eh, this isn't for me. I don't like seeing people go at it as soon as I enter the chat. Just not tasteful for to me.

However, I can understand it, if it is wanted by the majority.

Remember that if this isn't to your taste, that's okay. There are multiple other rooms available, and everyone's got a private room that they can invite multiple people into. The hope with this change, as far as I can tell, is that people will feel more open and encouraged to RP as they like, without the fear of toeing the line. This opens things up to feeling more natural and free flowing.

Keep in mind you can always ignore something, if you find yourself unable to tune out some dramatic fuckery~

I'm altogether excited to see people RPing more openly and more commonly. No holds barred, etcetera.

I'm in the same boat, and I'm not gonna sit in empty channels thinking "Damn, wish I wanted to RP 24/7"

Perhaps there's an add-on, a mod, or something of that nature for the chat program that will let you select the "fucking" or "non-fucking" section when you log in?

That's the thing, you don't have to RP 24/7. There are many other channels, and, as far as I know, you can set your channel to be the OoC channel to log into. If you aren't keen on logging into a channel that -might- contain people RPing, then you can set yourself to log into the channel that definitely won't. From there, you can take a peek in, and if there's stuff going on you don't want to see and you don't have the ability to just look over it, then you can just explore the other channels.

This change isn't meant to alienate, it's meant to encourage people to consider their options more. Currently, there's a good chunk of the user base who logs into the main channel and idles, not even interacting with others in an OoC manner. If that's what you're looking for, why are you even logging in? This change will allow those people to migrate to the OoC room, and allow those who do like to RP to feel more comfortable and open about RPing as they like. At the end of the day, the majority of people who come here initially are looking for some sort of furry RP. We are simply trying to put our best foot forward so that those people know that they can find that here. And hopefully, the user base will grow.

I myself don't mind the RP only, it's the yiffing. The idea of having to go to another channel to avoid it doesn't work, because only the OOC and Gaming channel are non adult, and with that, they are OOC, not RP. There is no longer any "non adult RP channel" unless you go into a NON RP channel.

The other problem is the majority of people who DON'T feel the same way, will end up staying in the primary channel. So the minority group who want to avoid the adult stuff and still have people to interact with, are kind of left out.

Again though, that's my opinion, and probably not the majority.

Well you weren't sticking around, so that's that solved already.

So, Kozack, what you are saying is that you want it your way and no one else gets to have an opinion? Because, according to your end of the argument, that seems to be your underlying point. Now, as far as I can tell, the changes have been asked for well before you came along, Kozack. Seems to me that the battle you want to wage was lost before it started. Then there is one fact overlooked here. There is always Whispers. You don't have to just sit in an empty room and do nothing. Yes Whispers may be a little more involved, but you cannot deny them the usage they probably see anyway. I can understand your point, Kozack. I am not into the whole public scene and I am very sure Libby and the Admin took notice that there would be opposition to this change and took what measure they could to stem negativity. You point has been made, Kozack, and iut is now time to either accept it and find ways to cope or move on and find another Chat. Keep in mind, however, you will not be able to avoid Public Yiffing elsewhere forever. Furries tend to lean towards yiff heavily and I have run across ALOT of other sites that are just as relaxed on the rules. I would encourage you to stay and give it a chance. People here seem respectable and I don't see chat becoming a non-stop orgy right off the bat. It may not be as bad as you might think.

Honestly I probably would have if there had been a better solution for me personally. I don't mind the RP by in large, I just don't want to be punished for not partaking because I don't want to RP. And judging from this post I'm in the minority for that group so going to a non-RP channel would be a moot point because there'd be nobody in there.
And I like talking to multiple people, so I don't want to sit here juggling whispers when I want to chat with buddies and such, I very rarely only have a one on one conversation unless we're doing something that actually needs to be private.
I guess my biggest hangup on the whole deal is the zero tolerance for people who don't want to RP in general, but still want to chill with their buddies who do, if that makes any sense.

Also sorry for being kurt at any point this weekend, I was pretty sloshed most of the time

Once again. People not giving the situation a chance. Not being able to see beyond your own noses must be nice. No really. That is exactly what is going on here. This is an RP site. RP stands for Role Play. That is a factor that should, in all reality, be considered here. You want to chat about your Favorite Video Game, Movie, Pokémon, Hobby, or Dream Car? There are TONS of other places people can do that. Instead? Seem like you limit yourself to one place. The wrong place if you factor in what this place is actually for. That would be RP. That is not to say that you cannot have a civil conversation in the chat. It just means you need to respect other people's wishes as much as you expect them to respect yours. It is a give and take type of deal here. You also need to understand that not everyone is going to RP sex all the time. There IS that possibility. Give this change a chance at the very least. See what happens. If it does not suit you then do what you must, but be warned. You will run across this just about everywhere you go as far as Furry chat goes. Your options are limited.
