Gransnet Cafe/Chat

Is this space the forum cafe or kitchen? I am very confused.
I do enjoy particularly reading in Brooms remarks. Love the name too

I like the idea of the cafe and can totally see the purpose. Some of the comments above sort of says it all. And most are regular and confident posters. No offence meant but felt I had to post something.

Hoping it doesn't detract from the purpose of being supportive and upbeat to those who do welcome it.

Totally agree with ffinnochio's every word.
Suits some and not others.

Ana. Thank you

Flipping heck I missed that entire thread and I don't miss a lot

To be honest even reading that explanation still leaves me pondering as to why it's a) it's required. b) what purpose it serves but at least I know I am not alone.

Why not just a thread 'are you lonely' under Chat or Relationships.? Hey ho , not a big deal I will b----r off now.

I think the point about this forum is to do with coping with loneliness. Chatting about whatever in an easy environment. Seems quite straightforward to me. Might be just the thing for many, or not so much for some. Good to have an option.

I think when the current Soop's Kitchen thread reaches capacity Soop should start the new one in Politics.

I wonder how long it will take HQ to put it back where they think it belongs?

I'll put my wooden spoon away now.

Well, it's supposed to be a 'safe haven' innit? But already the political threads in the Cafe are looking a bit...not safe.

Bewildered.

POGS here is the explanation from GNHQ

As someone said at the time the Cafe was installed, some new posters would possibly be expecting it to be a chatroom, which of course it isn't.

Must be a bit disconcerting to find they've actually started a new thread and it's not only in the Cafe but on the Active list!

You are not alone POGS. I'm bewildered too. And, how did all the people who posted in the first couple of days know about it? And, are they still with us?
