I agree in part with that but over many years users have used the iChat function to coordinate for unusual mode QSOs, place comments etc. I was one of those users for quite a long time so know its usefulness for that purpose. If I was more active on-air on 6 / 2 / 70 / 23 /+ then I would probably still be using it - a lot.
To others following the topic:
I clicked on my link to VKLogger as per my previous post : The requested topic does not exist.
This was the post there :
"http://www.vklogger.com/forum/viewtopic....040#p63040
I have been thinking about the outcome of Adam's post about the VKLogger End-of-Life and what it will mean to the current users of VKLogger. I won't be learning to write code in yet another language but will offer an intermediate service if people want to use it to "chat".
In brief, I am offering just some chat rooms for General, Spots, 6M/ 2M, 70CM / Microwave and Digital Modes (more are possible..). Nothing fancy, no extended logging, no distances / mapping / grids support, simply a temporary replacement for the IChat function currently available on VKLogger and based on the Blab! AX free package. Message history will be about 3 weeks.
If I had a spare $100 then I would upgrade to the Blab! AX Pro version which (so I read) integrates with the MYBB that the AHRDF forum runs on - but since I don't, chat users will need to register and log in separately (it's a painless process). That may change if it gets significant use.
The software has been set up at https://www.ahrdf.net/chat/ for you to try.

PS Let's see if this topic gets deleted like my last post about this - on the forum that is "Free & open for all ham radio enthusiasts"

Well it didn't last long on the Free & open for all ham radio enthusiasts" forum. An hour or less.
I acknowledge that admins have the ultimate control of what is posted on their forums but what was posted was not objectionable, obscene etc.. so there was no reason to remove it.
I make a point of NOT removing posts but I sometimes make minor changes to the wording - but not the overall context represented. No real censoring takes place, just tidying. And, I don't delete others' posts..
