Hey guys, we actually had chat available about two years ago in the previous version of this site and two big problems arose...

1: Hardly anyone actually used it.

2: People continually abused it by showing up and spamming their links. Moderators are impractical for all the chat rooms, and the spammers ultimately ruin the experience.

If you have any ideas other than moderation about problem #2, I'm all ears.

Isnt there a way you can disable all links from being used?

...would be worth an experiment. just thinking if it were consistently the same day and time of the week, for half an hour or something, I`d pop in.

Ustream.Tv (not .com)
TinyChat.com
TwitCam.com

haven`t tried these, but the podcast I listen to on Fridays said these were popular (liked TinyChat the best)

...be more fun

The chat client could have permissions/rights assigned. Only accept chat from friends.

By the way I use tinychat sometimes...its pretty cool
