Talk with everyone at the event. Anyone can read along; members post under their public name.
How it works
Sign in or create an account, confirm your email and choose your public name.
Post a message: it appears for everyone.
Read along, like and reply to messages, and report anything that breaks the rules.
Who can read and post
Anyone can read the chat, without an account.
To post, react or reply, sign in, confirm your email and choose a public name. Your messages show that name only: never your name, email or phone number.
The top of the chat shows how many people have it open and how many posted in the last 15 minutes. It names only members who posted in that time and chose “Show my public name in Active now” in the chat's menu or their account; it is off until you turn it on. Likes play no part in it: a message shows only how many likes it has, never who gave them.
House rules
Plain text, up to 280 characters. No pictures.
Be kind and stay on topic. No spam, no abuse, nothing that is not suitable for everyone.
Email addresses and phone numbers are hidden automatically: please do not share contact details.
Slow mode: one message every 10 seconds.
Web links are allowed once 5 of your messages have been shown, and they appear as text, not as links.
How the chat is looked after
Any message or reply can be reported from its menu. A message reported by several members is hidden until staff look at it.
Replies are checked the same way as messages. When staff hide a message, its replies are hidden with it.
Staff can hide or remove messages and pause someone from posting for a while.
Messages are kept for 90 days. The text of a hidden or removed message is kept 90 days in case you ask about it, then deleted.
