Hey all - checking to see if you'd be interested in having chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/240/the-nineteenth-byte featured as a recommended room for beginners/new users on the Stack Exchange chat landing page in the future (no changes to requirements to participate)
@Lundin Had to go look it up, but I recognize that tune. Very cool. And I double checked, the Savatage song (very different tone, LOL) is actually called Hall of the Mountain King. Got confused because the chorus says "In the hall..." Thanks for the added info :)
Random side note - anytime someone mentions trolls, I always think of that song, In the Halls of the Mountain King by Savatage. I don't think the word "troll" ever gets said it in, but I still think of that song, regardless haha
@TwineeeTheZeldaWizard As I mentioned in a chat message yesterday, "I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to... I kid! For real though, I won't give away all the details (that just helps those that want to abuse the system), but the short version is no image links should auto-render from chat users with under 20 rep and made changes to our backend staff notification system. Other stuff too, but that's the stuff I can share at the moment." ;)
@TwineeeTheZeldaWizard Minimum reputation for this room and the Stack Overflow Lobby is still 1. Dropping it even down to 2 would have only allowed an additional 5% of site members access.
Hahahaha. Alright, I'm running away for the day folks. Have a great night (or day, depending on timezone). And play nice so we can leave the room open this time, haha. See ya all tomorrow! :)
@HenryWHHackv3.0 I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to... I kid!

Hi folks. The rooms will be temporarily frozen while we work on some additional background safeguards. I'll update the MSE post and this room when they're unfrozen. Thanks!
Btw, since it seems I forgot, hi to everyone in the room! Next week we should have some more pieces in place to make the new rooms easier to find for folks. New rooms are exciting to me... what's this going to become. Stack question help? Dad jokes? Bad puns? All of the above? The sky's the limit. ;)
