Why aren't they all coming?

It was amazing to see how many guys suddenly turn out to be child molesters or
abusers of all trends just by not being liked by those local wizards and gods.
It would be tedious to try to understand the phenomena of social rejection on
palace, but hatred never came bundled with the software and is a plague to the
user’s global experience. Therefore, when communities.com went out of
business, it became highly predictable that "thepalace" and everything related
to it was going to suffer due to the erosion of its user base.
After the closing of its major support, the palace community still stands strong
with only a few losses. Even bad social skills didn’t get the better of it,
partly because 'thepalace', as chat software, still has a lot to offer its users
and the relentless efforts invested by the palace owners and hosting services
made the whole community survive for yet another bright day. The revival of
'thepalace.com' and the new and improved 'live directory' from palacetools have
been perfect examples of good will and combined efforts. As owner of 'The
Midnight Rambler', I’ve seen a better flow of traffic thanks to them. Of
course the rumor mills haven’t all shut down, but as statistics go, their
growth gets impaired with time and without the promoting support from a hosting
service they usually die out peacefully.
What was accomplished may not be enough. The online world is ever changing and
the lack of marketing skills and revenues has forced many portals to charge
users for their survival or to simply cease operations. Excite chat, one of the
biggest cyber populations, is no exception to that new trend and has closed its
doors with only a few if any joining our ranks. We have to ask ourselves if we
are visible and accessible enough? The palace community as a whole has been more
concerned with eluding the alleged hackers and self generated drama than
recruiting fresh new forces. Obtaining a registration code may become a very
frustrating experience if we keep suspecting everyone of ban jumping.
A new breed of chatters is roaming through our doors using unregistered clients
or instant palace to join us. Onchat is now charging a membership fee forcing
many users to look for an alternative. It is our chance to recruit new blood to
enrich our social fiber as a means to achieve our own survival. All I ask is to
turn down the paranoia and the drama and be ready to provide the needed
registration codes. It may finally pay off if we, collectively, are helpful
enough to give a hand to those who are now seeking our help. It is time for us
to go beyond our own inner circles and reach out to new users and make them feel
welcomed.
But palace is just a hobby after all isn’t it
