:hmm: so who has use the chat so far? Sometimes I see someone in there and I'll go in just to see what's up. Other times I tell people to go in there because its easy to talk then to relate pm's back and fourth or blow up a thread. The chat is cool, has some cool features and you can actually change the theme and so fourth. Also if you have speakers you can listen for new messages. It's got some cool smileys too. I always right click the "FlashChat" button and open a new tab since its a feature on IE7. So I can still browse the forums and go back to the chat.
im usually in there...i go in...look to see if anyones around...usually theres not...i dont like to leave it open in a new tab cause i forget its there especially if i have my sound off or music on
