Another lucky chair question

Since the update group PMs have been borked, but if I'm persistant I can usualy get my letters out to at least one group. But, I've noticed that recently even when I can announce letters fewer and fewer people have been coming, I've barely had any blinging hoppers at all today.

I was wondering whether that's because people are so fed up with hearing that Billybob Underdunk, et al, has left the session and decided to leave the groups or if people aren't coming because maybe they've already got all my stuff.

Do you own a business with lucky chairs? Have you noticed a drop in hopping? Have you given up on hopping for the time being and fled the groups?

I have to say, the constant "Soandso has left the session" is bringing me close to leaving the groups so there's a good chance thats a factor. I've also noticed a drop off in posts about the chairs themselves, whether that means people aren't posting or that posts aren't getting through though, I don't know...

i have left all my lucky chair groups due partly to that but mainly because business owners spam the channel with their chairs to often.

I think that's pretty much the measure of the problem - the larger chair-hopping groups have 2,000+ members, which makes the stream of messages even more annoying (especially if you're in two or three of those groups). Hopefully LL will apply the fix soon, and we'll be back to normal... in the mean time, hang on in there... it'll improve.

plus your message can get lost in the spam


figure 400 (a small to medium group) lines of something like this:

so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
chair on A at my store
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session
so-n-so has left this session


your 1 line could get easily scrolled off their screens and lost amidst the spam

/me waves at the lucky chair guy

Yeah, I think you're probably right. I recon it's gonna get worse before it gets better, but I'm defo hanging on in their

It's true, they do, but that's really the nature of lucky chair groups from what I've seen. The deal is if one business starts spamming their letters then so do the rest, the ones who decide they don't want to bother people with spammed letters don't get any hoppers.

I swung by to check out the new store Vale, very nice by the way (though I thought I might be burned as a witch at any time hehe). Anyway, there were lots of peeps around the chairs so maybe things are turning around

Thanks Gillian

Yeah, I love my little village and it ties in well with Vale's back story, which is still a work in progress but watch this space

I hope so, I'm stuck at work for another seven hours but I'll get back to pushing my little bolder up the hill when I get home.
