Edit:

After an ENORMOUS level of feedback from the community we've decided to take a step back and re-assess this situation.

A large amount of people have contacted us regarding the closure. Many have shared touching stories about what makes this chat great. We listened.

I have been convinced that this community can be salvaged. To do this there will have to be some changes, and we WILL NEED YOUR HELP. It's the people here that make UkChat what it is, and you're the ones who have the most power to change it.

Here is what you can do:
  • Be friendly to guests. This is how new chatters view the site for the first time. If you ignore them they will leave, and then everyone misses out on the chance to make a new friend. We want this site to grow.
  • Avoid setting a hostile tone in public chat. If there is a lot of hostility going around do your best to break it up. Change the subject. Tell a good joke. Don't get baited in to it. The moderators cannot set the tone of chat - that is primarily up to the people chatting.
  • Don't feed the trolls. Related to above. There are people on this site who's only joy in life is attempting to get a rise out of other chatters. Don't fall for it and engage with them. If you see someone feeding a troll, PM them and explain why they should not engage.
  • Report ban evaders. If you know someone is banned and they have came back under a different name, please immediately report them.
We will also be making changes to how the site is moderated and managed from an administrative standpoint. Forum post for this coming soon.

---------- Original Post ---------
As you may have heard, UkChat is closing

The community is too toxic for the site to grow. It has become stagnant and non-viable. We've done our best to work on this situation but to no avail. People here are not friendly to newcomers and the trolls just won't leave.

We understand that many of you have built strong relationships over the years and this is your primary mode of contact with certain friends. To make sure that everyone can find ways to stay in touch we will be performing the shutdown slowly, in stages, over the course of a couple weeks.

Please do not publicly advertise alternative sites - this will be considered spam

Looks like these reminders need to be re-looked at by all.

It was a long time ago. I resurrected it because of the reasons why it was considered, and how the chat site is today at times. Food for thought.
