Sure there will be maore annoying people hanging around but how many of them would actually find their way to RinkChat or the Forum? There would be some, but these things aren't the most obvious parts of RinkWorks. It took me nearly a year of visiting Rinkworks on a semi-regular basis before I found them.

I like the idea of keeping it open for all to enjoy. I am always interested in new people.
However, I have noticed that I never recommend it to friends or relatives, because that might inhibit my posts. As long as it's for people I know only here, I can write whatever I please. But local friends and relatives come with baggage.
Yes, I put my granddaughter on the chat the other evening, but she doesn't have a computer at her house. I only know one Rinkchatter face-to-face and she's 2500 miles away.
