Like I said, it was once there, but no longer is.
Well mine is, has to be an issue with your computer.

Thank you kindly.
The browser zoom was the issue.
I see that the room is currently empty.
I hope that it gets more use in future.
I believe I'll have some time this weekend.

Great, nice to see you found the issue.

It appears no one goes there anymore, or people are just on at different times.

Why couldn't we all agree on a day & time to meet in there to play some blitz. Just a matter of figuring out the time zone difference.

It would only take two to do that.

Not if we wanted to have a blitz tournament!

Just curious. Do blitz games show up in your games archive?

No. They are unrated and their outcome has no impact on any members statistics.

I keep going in and checking to see if anyone is there and it is alwasy like a ghost town. Totally vacant except for me. 🙁

Maybe if anyone is interested in playing some blitz, they should start a post in one of the forums and indicate what time they will be at the site waiting for a game. If they feel like sitting there for half an hour or whatever, they could post the times in GMT format in the general or chess only forum, then go there and set up a game and wait.

In that way, anyone who is interested in a quick game would know when to head over and maybe find someone there to play. It's not that difficult to click the link and see if anyone is there, but posting times might be helpful.

Anyway, just a thought....

Maybe I'll try it now and see what happens, if anything. I'll post it here.

I will be there from GMT 1900 to 1930. 🙂

Good Idea!

Although I find the different time zones can be confusing. I don't know if others are in the same boat or it is just me.

In other words, I'm there right now and will be gone in about 20 minutes if nothing happens.
