I hope that this works out, I've been hoping for a chat for a while but for some reason never mentioned it. Good work. Can't wait till its finished!

/me reckons Ant knows the feature that should be installed next...
agreed
also, for longtimegamer and anyone else who has never done the '/me' thing, here's how it works in IRC (and some other chats, like WoW and stuff):

whereas if the '/me' thing were enabled, it would look like this:

it only works if '/me' is the first part of your sentence :3

The times given may be wrong(or could just be my PC) I presume its UK time but my PC is showing a different time to what the chat area shows, a half hour difference.
Please add rooms and a userlist (it can just be names to know who's on but NL avatars would be nice.) Keep up the great work, Ant!

colors for each person's username that we can choose? it's all grey at the moment, so it's kinda hard to pick one another out when you've got a bunch of people with long names all talking at once.
a list of people currently in the chatroom would be nice. someone in chat (i forget who) was suggesting we have our user avatars listed too (in case people know you better by your avatar than your username, lol), but i don't really care either way; i can recognize people with or without their avatars :3
sometimes graphic smilies work, and sometimes they don't... personally, i'd rather they not show up as graphics (ASCII ftw), but it would be nice if either they all show up or they all don't.
will forum mods be mods in chat as well? if so, it would be nice if there were some kind of notice letting us know this, or some kind of link telling us where to go or who to report to when someone's in chat being a jerk... i mean, that's not to say that i'm sure any regulars will be mean to one another, but this chat's going to be open to anyone who registers, same as the forums, and there's a report button for the forums, so the chat may end up needing one too...
is there some way for the chat window to be taller? when the chat gets going, it's hard to keep up because so many people are talking at once, and it's hard to scroll up when each time someone sends something new, you get dragged back down to where you can see the newest stuff instead of what you were trying to look at up above, if that makes any sense. any way to help us keep up with what's been said before would be great.
definitely loving the chat so far, and will continue posting feedback as I notice things. thank you for this!

We've actually been toying with the idea of a chat room for a long time.. we tried it before but there wasn't ever enough people in there.. something that would probably change now if we promoted it correctly.
^Good suggestions. I also suggest some kind of optional notification for users with multiple tabs or windows that they can turn on if they wanna know when someone posted something new in the chat. It could be a small Sound Effect or havign the tab highlighted like Yahoo IM and others do.

Well that was great fun, nice to chat freely with y'all, even though it's tricky keeping up sometimes.
Coloured names sounds like a great idea (bagsy blue), and an audible blip thingy or flashing tab to announce a new post would be nice. Great addition Ant, thanks again.
I think its a good idea. Maybe add a sidebar with individual users along the side to where they can pm one another. Not sure how hard it would be to do.
Thanks given to Xkhaoz for that one avatar. Please contact me before using my custom avatar!
