this is a normal experience, so dont feel too discouraged that it's just happening to you. everyone experiences slow periods where they aren't getting much or any responses from chat, even if you have members present. i hope it gets better sooner than lat
i would have conversations with myself or pretend there was someone on the other end. like they were in invisible mode (where members can turn themselves invisible so the rest of the chat won't see their responses. im not sure if this feature is only available for certain sites.) or just talk to people even if they arent responding back. kinda like a podcast or talk radio.
also when it gets slow, focus a little bit on other eggs. have you started with any subscription sites? what about pso or clip sites? posting on reddit or twitter? what about splitstreaming? or trying a new camsite altogether? these other eggs will help grow your traffic without relying just on the site to shuffle new traffic to you. sometimes, you gotta find traffic that is willing to engage with you instead of waiting for it to show up.
remember this happens to everyone from newbies to top models
