What a about a chat for people who are logged in to java-gaming.org?
I’ve heard there is a computer language that allows to create things like that in a browser…
I see the list of people online on the bottom of the forum page and would love to contact them for a small chat!
I’ve got an old chat system I wrote a long time ago around somewhere. It is an applet. I’m sure there are better ones but it might get things started.
Good idea guys! I’ll check into some chat systems this week and I’ll see what I can get up and running

Please don’t use the one at http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/ChatClient.html it is absolutely horrible.
IRC? Sounds like one of those new-fangled dohickey thingamajigs to me… 
I would like to see a complete webb based solution based on the fact at the company I work for have enough firewalls and proxies to secure the whole world (it’s just a bank why the security : ) and therefore I can’t use other protocols then http on port 80 or https…
Ah, port number-based firewalling. No problem - I’m sure someone can come up with a port 80 tunnel proxy to allow you to connect…
Just a caveat – just because someone’s name shows up at the bottom as “online” doesn’t mean that they are actually there.
I usually have the “stay logged in forever” checkbox checked, as I am the only one who uses my computer and I dislike having to re-login all the time.
So, if there’s a Chatlet added to the site, don’t always expect the “online” people to actually be there!!
Interesting - but just NOW you are not online. And most of the time I am here!
I assume that the online indicator gives at least a good hint…
Well - we’re a couple of persons in #javagaming
on the freenode IRC network - come join us…
I’m not used to the IRC business - what client do you suggest? Do I need to register somewhere?
Despite of that - an online chat here would be much cooler.
Look at the bottom of the main page
-Chris
You are online - Jeff is online …
Something else? What to look for?
Wow - 2 minutes later - there it is!!
Give the man a cigar…
Everyone, check the bottom of the main page for the chatroom!

I already get enough “server overloaded” type error pages. Unless this runs on a different server I’d rather not get these errors than have this crude chat feature.
just my $0.02
i would prefer irc… quakenet or ircnet :]
