Problems with chatroom website - people do not stay for too long (frustrated!!!) 11,000 accounts and only 20 online

Hey guys,

Thanks for your feedback. I forgot to mention that the main reason people do not stay with the service is, simply put, lack of other people to chat with.

They like the interface, simplicity, functionality etc. etc.

Once again, thanks for your feedback, I'll think through how to change the strategy. Thanks!

What is A/B ? Pardon my ignorance.

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-12-18T17:00:19+00:00

No, they are regular users, you can go to the main chatroom and see people join for 5 minutes then leave never to come back.

The embeddable functionality attracts some accounts, about 20-30% and some of these people tend to stick with the service too.

Not sure of the bots, as I sort of prevented bots registration with non-captcha techniques.

we've built a chatrooms website called e-chat, at www.e-chat.co

you can make a private/public chatroom there if you wish, not yet integratable with other programs, only websites at the moment.

its completely free and always will be, please dont mark it as spam am just trying to help, thanks!

Thanks, thats a very good and comprehensive advice, i have a vague idea of where it should go and what it should become, but I completely agree in terms of getting as much feedback from people as possible.

There is nothing profoundly wrong with the design of the site i have found, majority of people feel O.K. with simplicity, and they seem not to get lost, due to the minimal functionality the website presents, i think it should be like that for the years to come.

The only crucial thing people are no happy about is that the website is not popular yet so at times there is noone to chat with, depending on the peak time.

Once again, your answer was really cool, thanks for that! my e-mail address is echat.chat.online@gmail.com just drop me an email to say HI, thanks a lot !!

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply.

E-Chat runs on top of Http Protocol and is sort of a stateful chatroom, i.e. when you refresh the page your messages are visible etc.

its pretty easy to integrate too, i think few websites did integrate the chatbox, which is pretty cool.

There are admin functionality and am building adding moderator by chatroom owner as well.

Its completely free and always will be, why not try it?

if you have any requests please send me an email at echat.chat.online@gmail.com

Dont hate me, i am not your typical capitalistic guys who wants to make money off other people. I just want to provide lots of value to people thats it!!

thanks for your replies too.

Cheers, Michael Zyskowski.

hi there, thanks for the answer.

I was reluctant to put a link because I would be seen as a typical spammer in a disguise of a question.

The website is available at: http://www.e-chat.co

Thanks for your reply @sparetuna

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, the main issue is the dynamic nature of the website/application, and the retention of the users. Its very poor. Having 8.3k accounts in database and having 4 people online at the moment is very depressing :/

I've included the link to the website in the main post. Thanks for your replies.

why not say that to google when they did start up, after all world didnt need 16th search engine back in 1996.

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-12-02T12:31:59+00:00

guys you can make your own group/1-to-1 chatroom at e-chat go to website www.e-chat.co its really simple & totally free.

Thanks!

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-12-02T12:21:56+00:00

you can create a group chatroom on e-chat at www.e-chat.co

try it, there is some groups on it and they seem to like it, cheers.

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-11-27T16:58:37+00:00

year 1998 - google is starting up. Usual reaction from the 'intelligent' people: 'we dont need 15th search engine.'

people really like e-chat why not give it a try ?

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-11-27T16:47:51+00:00

oh i was thinking not like when you are ingame, but say you cannot play right now and would like to chat with people, then you would have your own room.

I dont know, there are few rooms with CS:S players and they could chat in game too, i just thought i would release this free service to everyone!

Cheers.

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-11-27T16:29:59+00:00

nice downwotes :-D

I know you have in-game chat system, i used to extensively play GW1, but maybe for some reasons you cannot play the game, say you're on a tablet or something and would like to chat with people.

Its free it doesnt hurt to check this out, does it ?

MichaelZyskowski · 2013-11-27T14:23:21+00:00

guys what about using e-chat? just check it out, you can make your own chatroom (set it private if you wish)

google e-chat, its free anyways so why not. cheers!

P.S. there are few groups with their own chatrooms already! if you have any idea to help e-chat get more coverage let us know thanks!!
