I stopped going some time ago, because the chat app sucks

I looked in once for my curiosity and did not think the Mudchat was specially bad. I don't particularly like it but as a user, I don't particularly like any of what I call the "browser refresh" types as they are sluggish by nature.

On the other hand though, while my preferred dedicated "browser client application"/server chats are far more responsive, they do suffer from compatibility (eg running a Java applet, firewall blocking a port) problems that a plain old HTML system doesn't.
