Important notice about Recon's "beta" chat rooms. Please read.

Dear Members,
Recon strives to make hooking up and keeping in touch with other guys as easy as possible. Every so often, we need to evaluate the usage of the features available to ensure that they are still relevant to our members.
The chat rooms have been available to Premium and non-Premium members in a trial “Beta” format for the last 24 months, and during this time we have been gathering data on their usage.
This feature has not widely been used by members. We can see that less than a third of all members have logged into the chat rooms and of those members, only a very small percentage use this feature on a regular basis. The number of members using this feature versus the cost to operate it makes keeping the feature on the site unjustifiable.
At the same time, Recon has received a large number of requests for improvements on our existing features as well as suggestions for additional features from our growing number of Standard and Premium members. We feel the resources from the chat rooms could be redirected to improve current features on the site or develop new ones.
As a result, we will be closing the chat rooms on the site from Monday 1st August 2011.
We recognise that the members who were active in the rooms will be disappointed, but we hope they will understand the reasons for our decision.
Thank you for your continued support.
Regards
The Recon Team
