mini messenger

Some times i see quite a few people loged in, but i have never seen the amount that i do now. I am wondering, when people come here, surely they are not just surfing the forums for old and new posts are they? do you guys talk over mini messanger? I would like to talk to someone, but i am even too scared to do that, I wouldnt know what to say, i am sure this place is full of nice people. I dont thing people have tried to talk to me either, btw how do you know if someone is trying to talk to you through mini?

You are probably quite right, people log in to talk. Or, this being a particular site, they just wait there in case somebody wants to talk to them.. one can browse other sites in the meanwhile.

Make sure your browser allows pop ups and one should appear if anybody tries to talk to you.

One problem with the mini messenger is that you don't know if someone is actually online. If you don't explicitly log out when you leave the site, then you can show up as being online for quite some time before you finally 'time out'.
