The object of a chatroom is different than that of a forum. It will always be a seperate entity, so yes, it will be up to someone to write a fix found in talking on a chatroom.

This is a free chat that is wide open - I'm not sure HOW you could expect someone to be in there to police that chat or ANY chat at all times, as the moderators DO have to sleep - and of course there will be trolls that will come into a chat when they know the moderators are not in there, b/c they already have no life and watch for it. *LOL*

This thread is looking for an online chat, and I'm trying to provide, if nothing else, a temp-to-perm solution for that. (Objectively speaking, not trying to be snotty), it's better than nothing, so give it a try.

We already see that a chat attached to the site will be too much of a bandwidth hog once the site grows, so we can all see that it won't really be an option, and we have to deal with the limitations of the leftover options.

What WOULD help the Buzzen chatroom is for everyone to sign up with the exact same screen name as they have on here, so we can all cross-check the website if we don't know someone and know whether or not to ignore them. This is also classified as an unlisted chatroom, so someone would have to type in the exact name of the chatroom by pure chance to even find it without coming here first.
