Uhmm.. Adam. The rooms don't show up for me. ^^"
I got to chat link thing, and then i pick my room from the dropdown bar, click "Go!" but it just brings me back to the same exact page. No chat room. Just peoples avatars and that dropdown bar.
I don't know if i'm missing something on my computer or what, but i was just wondering why it's not working for me. >.>
The first time going on...last night...man, it was crazy! I couldn't keep up. It's very wild and high-paced with so many people chatting at once if you just go on there in the lobby right off the bat. I could barely handle it...but it was fun...just hard to follow! Hah. But yeah, time zones~ Everyone's like, "Oh, it's time for lunch..." or something around those times, and I'm like "it's almost dinner time." Hah...it's crazy. So yeah, it's fun; I like the feature, I just think there should be some more control over...umm...control...I guess we just need to make more chat rooms. :/
Agreed but it was fun. I can't remember if we're in the same time zone of not so times may have varied between the three of us (I know Des and I are 3 hours apart but I can't remember where you fit in). Regardless though, we were all up into the wee hours of the morning playing with the new chat so to Adam, I say well done ^_^
Adam-sama. This is instant win in a cup. I really think you should get Chuck Norris to endorse it! :D lol This was the most fun I've had in ages *stuck doing summer project* Gaaaah. Arigato!

It works for my computer, good job. Usually i have zero capability with programs of this nature. Though i have one question for you, how do we create rooms?
My initial impressions of the chat feature are quite positive ones.
The people using it were friendly, there was enough variety in the topics of discussion that I didn't feel lost most of the time (I did get lost in a few conversations, but that's bound to happen anyway), and overall it was nice to talk to other members here that I've only seen in passing across the network. I didn't have any issues with chat, but I also took it really lightly tonight, just to get a feel for it and not overload on all it can do. I did see some of the reported bugs happening in real time though, particularly the disconnect one happening to several members throughout the night.
It'll be interesting to see how chat develops in the coming days. I might not be a frequent visitor there, but I probably will drop in from time to time.
I keep getting disconnected. I don't this it's my connection, plus when I reload the page after being disconnected, the chat does not load. Hope its a bug that can be fixed.

Just going to leave my opinion that it would be better to just have a (0) indication of occupancy if no one is in a chat room rather than have the room disappear from the list.

I've got a confusing situation going on.
I created a Dr Who chat room - The Console Room - but I can only see it on the rooms list when I'm in it. When Im in a nother room, it's not on the list, and I have to click on CREATE again to open it up.
What the heck! I was banned from doing nothing!!!! I just said this is cool. and left to go to a different room and I was kicked out. As soon as I got back to the Lobby, I was banned!!!
Why!!!! Will this ruin my chance of ever becoming a Senior Otaku!!??
I watched for a while but was too shy to type anything. D:
Can you make rooms for just your circle of friends? So you can find each other since it'd be awkward to have a friends chat room on the list of user rooms open to everyone.

Actually you don't get back because your presence violates the site terms which can be found here: FAQ Please take note of this part here:
Members of must be at least 13 years of age.
Since you are not old enough, you are not allowed in. Come back when you're 13. Until then, you're out of luck.

So, if we create a room, it'll only be there as long as there's more than one person in it?

I can't find the settings button. It's supposed to be a gear at the top right, correct? Or is it not activated yet? I saw it in the help.
