user8033: Our beloved chatroom: "Pin 13" is frozen (due to inactivity).
Can we re-open the chatroom?
Theoretically, we could start a new chatroom, but that wouldn't be a very neat solution (it can be hard to find anything back, if we keep making new "Pin 13"'s.
Can we avoid getting it frozen?
How to avoid getting the same problem in the future? Can a room be pinned, or made as default general chat of a certain SE? Or do we have to program an Arduino to post random links to it every now and then? ;D
Should we even?
The room is frozen, since it was inactive. Theoretically, this means that the room seems to have little function.
Though I believe that it can be usefull to have a general chat.

user10794: I've unfrozen it.

How can it be beloved and inactive at the same time?

Dat Ha has a good point. It has gone recently for 32 days without activity.
If it goes for 14 days without activity it is frozen automatically. I suggest you chat away in it from time to time to stop that happening.

75% of users on this site turn up, ask one question, get their answer, and are never seen again.
22% of users on this site turn up, ask one question, don't bother waiting around for an answer, and are never seen again.
2% of users on this site are those that show an interest and either want to help others or have an inquiring mind that wants to learn more.
The remaining 1% are us.

Of all the users on the site maybe 3% would find it useful. 1% of those would use it to whinge about the 97% that never come back, the others wouldn't even know it was there.
So what use is a general chat room? Most chat discussions are related to a specific question/answer and thus are between just a couple of people for a short time, and those chat rooms can be created at will as they are needed.
