I was reading over the base rules and it says to try to be active in the forum and chat. I opened the chat and seen some people in there, but nobody was talking, so I thought I would post a thread in an attempt to be active.

So is the chat usually like that or was I missing something?

Anyway...just trying to be active. Would like to meet some of you on here that I haven't already met. Thanks! :D

I guess it is Steamgifts chat. When you're on the main forum page, it says "Forum, Chat, Support", and I just clicked on chat.

Now that's not a pleasant thought. Nothing like giving someone a game and having them camp out on your doorstep.

Forum is cool, SG steam chat is meh. I would like to have the chat badge, however.
I guess that's what you're after? ;)

Sure, after the chat badge. At least I'll be after it as soon as I figure out what it is.

The badge is a badge you get on your SG profile if you use the SG+ addon, and chat a lot.

There is other ones for winning 25 giveaways, 1 year old profile, gave away >$500 (I think it's 500). etc.

Something to remember. That badge is for people who use the chat often and CONTINUE to keep using the chat often. Even if you get the badge, it will be taken away if you stop using the chat for a prolonged period of time.

Well, there are times when people talk like crazy (or at least were when I used to spend more time there) and times when no one talks for hours. This is just how things are with every chat.

I just dropped in for a minute or two. I think there was about 75 people in there, but everybody was silent. I guess they were all entering giveaways!

Oh, it's pretty common when there are even about 100-110 and no one writes for long ;). Joining the chat just to immidietely see some discussion or even participate in it is a bad idea, imo - you'd have to be lucky. The best way I think is just keeping it open and minimalised while doing something else, after a while eventually there's something going on. Sometimes even worth your time :P.

You're making that chat room sound like a scary place. Maybe I should stay away. :D

Oh, it's fine. I'm sure there's someone that will see your post and help you get in the chat. Besides, this thread is kind of about being in chat/forum anyway.

Be as active as possible, and here, it's nice that you give people the game (only public) on steamgifts.

Wow, you are truly generous o.o

And the answer to your question: sometimes the chat is really active, you can always try to make people talk :)

chat usually seems to be active when I join, but I only join when trivia night is happening, so it's bound to be active. I left the group some time ago because reasons, but when I left it was still bustling

I stopped using the Steamgifts chat a long time ago. It's hard to hold a conversation with so many people in the chat at once. You must have caught it during a rare quiet period, unless it really did die that much since I last used it :P

Anyways, hope you enjoy the forum!
