A majority of about 1 vote! - but as I said, it doesn't take a large percentage at all to make it a great success and very much worthwhile.
We don't get that many emails to our support address considering the number of users we have but if Tony is worried about getting requests for support, we will handle that ([email protected]) - we have several people set up to answer questions to that address. I don't know what more we can offer really.. we are prepared to help as much as we are asked to. And the Java applet we use has proven itself over many months to be by far the most reliable and work for 99.9% of users.

No, its just that, oviously, you are biased. If a majority of people don't want it, it will be a wate of time and effort.

No.
I think that it would destroy the quality discussions that we already have on FOG. Yes there will still be posts but if everyone is chatting to eachother about game sin a chatroom, they’re not going to do the same on the FOG again.
Also, I have a few people on MSN so that does me fine.

If just 10% of people here wanted to use the chatroom, it would become a great success. There's no point in denying others the opportunity to chat if they want to, because we're all different, best to let people have the options to do what they prefer.

It looks like a majority vote - NO!
I dont understand why you are having problems. It works for thousands of users, we have hardly ever known any problems. It seems that there may be a problem for users of iMacs using a certain browser, but other than that it's fine for all other platforms/browsers. Just use normal characters/numbers for your chat names, as with other things such as email accounts, login names for forums, etc.
If the applet does not work for anyone, they can use the CGI client, which can even be used in schools/colleges where the chat ports are blocked and on systems that have problems with Java. CGI works for everyone.
Would you like me to provide you with HTML code (which you can edit) for the Java and CGI clients? Or would you like me to create a page on our site for you? Whichever you choose is fine by me.
If you need to speak to me by phone then I specified my number when i signed up for this account, so feel free to phone me (or email me [email protected] for the number).
