I have officially decided that the new chat feature Adam added to theOtaku is way too addicting. If I go in there, I end up spending way too much time in the rooms. It’s just too much fun. The chats are insane and the people are delightfully wacky too. So far it’s run pretty smoothly, but I have run into a few hiccups and I’m going to detail one here that I saved the chat from.
Yes this will be embarrassing to the member in question, but I want to make a point that just because you enter the chat, the rules for the site don’t magically disappear. They still apply and I’ll bust you in there the same as I will for other issues around theOtaku. Anyway, here is the part of the chat log that is relevant.

Now I'm sure I don't have to explain that one to anyone here. It's simple, creative spelling, abbreviations, etc. I'll still bust you for swearing since the site terms clearly says no swearing in comments. I'll most likely be updating the site terms to include the chat as well, but since the chat is part of theOtaku, it's already included by default in my opinion.
Anyway, I expect the chat to continue to be popular and a lot of fun. Oh and if you don't want to see your chat moment highlighted on my world no less... Think before you speak/type/etc.
