Yup, 7 (human) users at the moment

Can somebody tell me if Chat Room is working.

I can't get into it (as usual)

webmaster has read my email and is trying something that I suggested. (although I found it hard, I reckon webmaster can crack the software!)

(excellent)

**no infrigment to Mr Burns :P**

I vote: YES
Why not try it out, to find out if its a success?.

There is not much chance that a chatroom like that will take interest away from the forums!

I don't think there should be a chatroom because the forums are good enough anyway.

Discussions much better!

The chat's okay, but I prefer the discussion forums by far.

I don't want a chatroom, but it should be given the benefit of the doubt, and kept for those that do. Its not all bad :)

There is now a link on the "Open Forums" and "Game Forums" pages to invite people to try the chat room

There are bugs though.
1. I entered TonyfromFOG as my nickname and it came out as "fromFOG". Probably the "only one Tony" rule.
2. I was unable to return the room once I left it.
3. Webmaster used an illegal symbol in his nickname and it refused him with no explanation. Only standard letters and numbers are allowed.
4. Some people going to the forum need to know the room name because it does not always appear in automatically. It is #specialreserve.

Reaper - please let me know if we need a change of url - and I'll change the link.
