Folks we are still researching ways to bring back a room that will have enough safeguards to ensure there is no foul play in it. Ofcourse I don't want to get into any detials nor rehash any of the history with why our old room is now gone, but suffice it to say the way folks were treating one another was downright awful. It was also becoming so much work just managing it and the members who were abusing it that it just wasnt productive or positive at all. Until we do find something that works for us all folks I would suggest you try windows messenger, skype, facebook or something along those lines as that is what I now use to interact.

I was informed by our SMF Techs that there is no real safe chatroom feature anymore for the smf forum system. Not only the program itself, but savy hackers can actually use it to get into a site's database and wreak havoc through a malware injection.

However, I would think for anyone who uses skype (free program) that that has a better chat feature anyhow (you can create unlimited numbers of groups) and heck even call the group (free across the world) and all you need do is add a contact which is pretty simple. I am not sure I would install a chat feature again even if there were one after using it.
