Good question BillyB, but I am not sure I have the answer for you. There are certain members, none of whom are on at the moment, that go in the chat room quite often, and others that do every now and again. I am one of the latter. All I can suggest is that if you like that type of interaction, then enter it while you are on the forum, and if someone else comes in the room, say "Hello". It seems to me that when people notice there are others there, they are more likely to enter and participate themselves. I know I feel that way.
