I know this chat room is for testing and is a good thing for this site, but I think it would be a good idea to implement it on the Home page, this way that page will be animated in a bigger proportion. Just my thoughts...
Got to try out the chat room for the first time today, and I like it. It's a great way for us forum-members to chat live with each other instead of just random posts. Chat-room-date next, yeah?
(On another note, that 'welcome' and the sound when people log off scares the living sh*t out of me every time...)
