    Oh yeah. I tried out the chat. Derpy left right when I was about to enter. lol. I'm not sure about you alls, but I had some terrible lag when I started it up for the first time. And when you scroll over some of the things or do something that makes a noise, the lag till the sound happens is like horrible. But that may just be my connection and something like that really isn't a big concern to me regarding the sounds (Not what the room's about), but I wasn't able to see whether or not posting would be as laggy.

    I was messing with the customizing afterwards though. It was cool.

    ANYWAYS... I'm sure it was my fault or it can be fixed. That chat wasn't too bad.

    Oh I remember this chat being used in the old worldcraft forum
    It always does that for some reason, in that it for some reason saves the last person who was in - and then makes them leave when the next person joins (regardless if they actually left the chat or not)

    Is the chat gone? Or am I just blind?

    ^Here it is

    @PAC it's flash - it's not exactly hardware friendly are you using a laptop? The sounds do cause a bit of delay however I think you can disable them. If you can play most flash games on your pc (.swf) then you 'shouldn't' have a problem with this... But if you do well then that problem is a problem x)

    @Derpy - that'll be something to do with not updating the chat while it's empty - it's more efficient in the long run, why update when theres no one to see it kinda thing.

    Yeah it makes sense, it just explains why it always seems like the last person in there leaves whenever a new person joins when it's empty


    Hmmmm maybe you should put the chat in an announcement or something so it's easy to find, even if it is just "demoing" it atm

    I told y'a It's almost perfect. I hope it's customizable with custom pics and stuff. I'd love such a chat system to be added.

    Sooooo wait......

    Is this chatroom part of the site or not or what?
    I've seen a few random people enter, but using names I haven't seen on the site (or is it just not name integrated yet?)

    Ah... yeah... Just noted that the vbulletin mod/integration method for this chat is no longer supported by it's developer or by the chat developer's site itself. So I'm sceptical towards future versions of this chat continuing to integrate well with Vb (if there even are any). That's making me re-think getting it somewhat.

    Not sure if it was you. Seeing as how you haven't bought it, but someone came into the chat when I was in it.

    He said he couldn't download some software or something, but he left before I could ask if it was VB.

    Yeah. It was a dude that said he bought it. But he said he made a bad choice in it. I still don't remember if I asked him if it was VB. I think... maybe... it was... I think he said it was VB.

    Lol, you'll see soon enough.
    Not impressed so far though, admins are supposed to be able to see it while it's disabled. I can't. =/
    Trying to figure it out atm

    Well you are working mainly with free/almost free chats atm, beggars can't be choosers
    At least until the site starts making some sort of profit (I'm using ad block plus, so I don't know if you've got any advertisements up or anything atm)
