The Physics Forums chat is currently open and was enjoyed by participants on January 18. It typically operates for a few hours on Sundays, from approximately 10 AM to 4 PM Central Time, which translates to around 4 PM to 10 PM GMT. Some users expressed a desire for a 24/7 chat option, but it was noted that this could detract from the forum's main focus. The limited availability helps maintain interest and excitement. Participants are encouraged to join the chat during its open hours.
Chat is normally up on a Sunday for a few hours. If chat was open 24/7 it would direct people away from the main focus of the site which is the forum based community. The advantage of having it as a limited treat is that it doesn't get boring quickly.

Sundays and a few hours?
When will these "few hours" be?
(since some of us from almost 12+ hours different time zones!)
