Announcement- One Room/ 24 Hours Trial going live!
Hello everyone.
Thank you for supporting the idea and submitting your room preferences! The polling is now closed and we are ready to move to the next phase!
The rooms are selected based on the majority and mutual preferences. I would say you all picked some wonderful rooms. You are wise people of our community.
Before we go further with this, I want to let you know. We hear your concerns. I understand things didnt turn out the way you all expected. Some of us have a question that why a couple of rooms are open 24/7 while other topic rooms are pop-ups! I understand your concerns and they are valid. But, I am sorry at this time we are unable to open any other topic room 24/7.
To address the same concern, we are doing our best to ensure support rooms open more which is why we came up with the one room/24 hours plan where rooms could get open on days based on community preferences.
Here is the list of the rooms with days that going to open for 24 hours! These rooms will be opened and closed at 12 am ET every day.
I hope you have a good stay and experience in these rooms during the trial phase while we keep hearing your suggestions and feedback to make necessary changes and improvements to build supportive, engaging and compassionate group support for all. Your contributions are appreciated.
Yayy for all! We are progressing towards creating a positive impact!!
Reminder- Help everyone to keep a supportive, appropriate and respectful environment in all the rooms.
@ASilentObserver Yay, thanks for the great update! Appreciate all your hard work and support. Keep up the excellent job, and have a lovely week. :)
@lovelyWhisper66 thank you whisper
@ASilentObserver
Can I challenge you?
@ASilentObserver Are mods going to be present to supervise in these 24/7 rooms
@cloudyskiesofblue8753 they will be around. But we would need your support to keep them clean! Thank you
@cloudyskiesofblue8753
As a Mod for 35+ I will be there to make sure all in the room are safe.
@pamharley003
hi
Thanks for all your hard work, Obs! I'm really glad to see we're putting a lot of emphasis on safety in the rooms 
Just wanted to also put it out there that if there are any teens that would like the LGBTQ+ room open more, or anyone who wants to help out with the LGBTQ+ support team (teens or adults, though most of my focus is on teen side for now) please hop into my pms! I'm doing my best to rebuild the team, and can open the room when I'm around to mod if there's enough people who would want that ^-^
@PhoenixAsh awesome! yay for al the support teams!
@ASilentObserver
This is a great idea! Thanks for listening to the feedback and working to make the community better every day, Obs!
Will discussion still be held in the rooms on the days that they're open, or are we going to try to limit the discussions to off days and open them as needed?
@FlowerTheSun No Sun! Discussions and open chats will happen on the days the room will be pop-up.
But if everyone wants to have, they can! It will be up to the mutual decision of the host and group.
@ASilentObserver
Wow! This really sounds like a fantastic idea! It sounds as if everyone has been heard, the votes have been tallied and you have come up with an action plan. You have published the rooms and the days so everyone can mark their calendars. It sounds like everyone is doing the best they can do, with what they have to do it with! 
@SparkyGizmo Thank you, Sparky for the support and kind words. I believe in teamwork and we are progressing as team!
@ASilentObserver Where do we find these rooms I'm new here?
@AlphaPheonix4720
You'll need to unlock them. First by getting 50 compassion hearts (learn more here) and second by have 5 chats with 5 listeners (1 each, or 5 total). Once you have unlocked them, they will show up here.
@MonBon
Thanks! That was really helpful to know! It makes sense now! Thank you!
@ASilentObserver
Great work Obs !!!! Also kinda off topic , but wanted to know are u guys planning an alternative for feeds section also ?
@calmsoulmeet Hey Soul, Thank you for the kind words. Well, I do not know right now as a lot of things are in the process to build a supportive community for us. But, who knows? We may discuss and figure out something?
We will do some good teamwork!
@ASilentObserver
Thanks a lot for this good news.
@amiablePeace77 Yay, thanks Ami for all the support!
@ASilentObserverhi
@ASilentObserver It won't do anything.
@ASilentObserver - Thank you for all of this.
I just want to say:
After all the emotional distress and confusion with the sweeping group chat change the past several weeks, and the feed gone missing.. this process feels is so much better. Thank you. No surprises (thank you). Everyone got a chance to pitch in their opniions (within the time window, which is fair I think) (thank you). I notice you've been responding to comments (thank you!). All of these things help struggling members feel validated, bringing us closer to a sense of community. It's so critical for a site like this. And look at the responses, the community reaction - it's like night-and-day comparatively.
I don't speak for everyone obviously, but, from me: thank you for not just involving the community, but continuing to be active in posting updates, responding to questions, etc. You are doing a great job, and I appreciate it. I know it can't be easy. Thank you again.
@wontwakewontsleep Hey Sleep, I appreciate your thoughts and kind words. Well, we believe in progressing as teamwork and keep things transparent so you all know what is happening and where we heading towards.
We will do good teamwork. Thank you for all the support and cooperation!
