Are there any staff and members who would like to try and get MM chat back up and running more often (especially UK time) like it use to be years ago? When it was a busy wee community of chat, readings, circles, learning, development, healing, etc? Seems such a shame that it's only open a couple of hours a day, if that, with only a handful of people
Send out emails to all staff and members? try something to bring back life here? is anyone interested or feel the same as i do?
staff can you help? recommendations?

Emails have been sent out via the original site database to all members and staff. They have been sent out on 3 occassions over the past year and there were just under 30,000 sent each time. Around 50 per cent of those sent out were returned as email address unknown, mainly because people have never bothered to update old email addresses. It would also appear that a lot of the others went straight into peoples junk/spam folders.
Classes are advertised daily on these forums, via the scrolling marquee at the top of the page and also within the dedicated Classes Forum.
We also advertise daily on the site facebook page which has over 16,000 members.
We do also send out emails from this forum to advertise classes and special events, however as with most emails sent via websites, unless the members has their email client marked to add these emails to their safe list they tend to go into the junk/spam folder and are never seen.
The chat rooms are open 24/7, and always have been. I suggest if you visit rooms and don't see anybody in, that you post on the MM facebook page, letting people know you are in rooms, and somebody may join you.
The forums and chat are run by volunteer staff and as such cannot be manned 24/7, due to work, family and health commitments. As such we still insist, for the saftey of all members that no readings are given unless Staff or Approved Guest Teachers are present to supervise the readings.
As you yourself will be aware, peoples priorities and interests have changed over recent years, as has the internet.
Most spiritual webiste and chatrooms have closed down due to the advent of FB etc.

I know what Deb is trying to say, been on the internet too long. People when things go wrong , could be they cant pay a bill, or their family has been wiped out in an accident. The same thing happens they look to the internet for readings.
Its always was way back in the past readings, chat to people and then classes to learn how to help others, because they have been helped. Then there was a change in the law and all the chats didn't know how this was going to impact them. So it went more to teaching because of this move by the UK government.
The internet now has caused a major problem out there are thousands of lonely people who have nowhere to turn to. In turn this alone feeling is causing mental health problems in people. They get home from work shut the door and there is nobody and social media kinds of fails them. Waiting for that ping on your phone saying someone has answered.
My idea is at the moment you want classes covered, instead of covering all of them, put in an evening of chat and readings. Yes you need some staff to do say tarot or mediumship and staff to help those who need help. If staff ask if people are ok and some say no, then put up a private chat box and ask if you can help, often it means just listening.
It gives staff a purpose and those so alone in this world a place they know they can come to and get help or chat. They then have somewhere to go and not feel so alone in this world. That's the void social media has created and its a void MM is expert at filling if they go back to the old ways before that law changed.
Things wont change over night it will take time. So it may be worth a try on a few days to see if it attracts more in, and if the staff feel they have more ways to help.
I hope I explained that right lol.

Welcome back Susan. It's been well over a year since you were last in rooms!!
The classes for the American time zone are on at 10:00pm EST; 9:00pm CST; 7:00pm PST and 3:00am UK, however there may not be a class this Saturday and Sunday as the usual Teacher is having a couple of days off.
The classes in the UK time zones are usually on at 8:30pm UK; 3:30pm EST; 2:30pm CST; 12:30 PST - on Saturdays there is a class at 9:30pm UK; 4:30pm EST; 3:30pm CST; 1:30pm PST - and there is normally an extra class on a Thursday at 10:00pm UK; 5:00pm EST; 4:00pm CST; 2:00pm PST
All classes and times are advertised on our facebook page, and also at the top of room 1 when you log into chat.
They are also advertised here in the forums on the scrolling marquee at the top of the page, and in the side panel when you click on the panda image below the text Scheduled Classes.
The rooms are open 24/7, however most people only pop in when a class is on, and the majority of them come in late.
If you come in at other times then I suggest you post on our facebook page saying you are around and somebody may pop in to keep company.

Hope so. That's why I'm still here.  Will pop by later on. It has been quiet, but hopefully it will be more active once more people find it soon.
Astral is correct, though. And perfect words written there! |
