Happenings and confusion

[TNTease]

Greetings all,
 
There have been a lot of questions lately about "where have the Avatars gone?" and similar questions, mostly about the appearance of the webchat.  We have been saying there are some changes taking place on the network, and there are still some things we will be working on for a time.

Our "tech guys", who have been working mostly behind the scenes since we opened, have decided it is time for them to move on to other things. Chris in particular, has developed other interests which he has chosen to leave us and pursue.  Desolator (another tech) and one of our botops and our German chanops have chosen to follow him. This requires that this network make some changes.  These changes will be relatively minor, but they will affect some varied aspects of the appearance and features of our network.  And yes, some of your favorite features have and may disappear for a time.  We will try to return some of these  to you, but it may take some time. Please bear with us, as we go through these 'growing pains' together, and keep an eye here on our message forums for any updates.  For now, I believe the avatars on the webchat have been restored.

Our #Germany room numbers are low, because a link that brought in many of our German chatters has been removed from here, but #Germany room will remain open, and we expect that room will slowly build back up.

For now, you, as chatters here, will probably not see many changes. We do appreciate your continued patronage as we manage these 'growing pains'.

Thank you for your support,
ICQ-Chat Administrative and Moderating Team
