Well, darn it, Alan, I've been hoping to find somebody to chat with. Here, you're online, but you can't do chat. I'd like to see if you're able to post your special effects in the chat room. I'm not all that fond of "chat" areas because I don't like communicating in one-liners (and I like to be able to check my spelling before posting).
The chat function seems to be a nice setup, as such things go. There is one flaw, however - you can't tell who else is online, so you can't tell if you should head to the chat room for conversation. Otherwise, it's a nice little doodad.
