    I've posted an experimental chat room for sciforums. This is a live chat and is a good medium for some friendly and casual banter that might not fit optimally with the persistent discussion format of sciforums.

    Some notes:
    - this is a Java applet
    - the chat room is operated by a third party company, and any ads you see in the chat room are theirs.
    - user names in the chat room are not authenticated against the sciforums database, so be aware of the potential for impersonation
    - the chat room is not moderated, but nonetheless behave yourselves!

    The URL is:
    http://www.sciforums.com/chat.html

    Enjoy

    I suggest to make a room for every subject in the forums, just to make it more organized.

    Nice idea, nut nobody was there now either, but I guess they will be as soon as the the news of the chat gets out.
    Annoying with the popup commercials though...

    No one's there right now either. Doesn't seem to making a huge splash as it was imagined to be a couple of months ago when we were talking about it, eh?

    It says I have to download something from microsoft. Is it safe?
    Last time I downloaded something from them, my computer got screwed beyond repair. I had to format.

    I don't know, it seems rather scary to me the fact that anybody can impersonate my username and go on as me. Or that i might talk to somebody who is not them. I'll have to wait and see the opinion of a few more people before i do this. Sounds really cool though.


    Also why is a third party handling this operation?????

    I did not mean this to be insulting in any way shape or form. If it was read as such, i'm sorry. Now that i read it again, i can see how it looks how it was meant to be insulting.
