1. I was recently doing research on the sister teen chats, lurking on the chat and blog for the .org version, and I found out that both sister teen chats have 2 admins, Kevin and Reeebsss. I think having a 2 admin team would really benefit both of the kids chats (.net and chat avenue), and make them safer for every user as you will have 2 admins handling kick reports and banning pedos at the same time. If the teen chats can have this, I don't see why the kids chats shouldn't. The amount of users on the teen chats may be greater, but kids chat's pedos can be more threatening to users as we don't need cp-influencing losers taking advantage of actual underaged users, which is not as likely in a teen chat compared to a kids chat. The user range is also larger in the kids chats than teen chats, being 9-19 (in terms of the age list), so we have more ages to deal with too.
Arkham handles both kids chats alone, which is a very hard job. That is basically like working 2 real life jobs at the same time, if that ever were possible in the real world compared to online. Another admin giving Ark support and help with the kick reports and active chatters could limit the work Ark does for both of the kids chats. I really think this should be looked into for a future case since other sister chats are doing it.
2. Continuing research on the teenchat.org sister site, I found that monthly updates are given each month on the news page. These monthly updates include:
1. What's going on within the chat during the month.
2. User's birthdays for the month.
3. Vip giveaway challenge.
I think this would be a great thing for both of the kids chats so the users can get updated, and actively participate in what the chat has to offer rather than just chatting with others around the world.
Birthdays of users would be posted so people can know when birthdays of users are, and so people can be prepared rather than forgetful that a friend's birthday is coming up soon.
It would also be fun for users to try and win a lifetime vip over taking a simple quiz or some other challenge that can be a thing. Vip giveaways should be a thing at this point as this site and the other kids chat are very profitable already I'm sure with the amount of people who actually buy vip here and there + ad revenue. Giving vip away over a fun activity for 2-3 users every month would allow those who can't afford vip a chance to get it.
I hope both of these suggestions are considered and/or looked into for the future of both kids chats.
