The use of our chat room do not require any download or registration/sign up, and can be accessed directly from the site.
The chat room can be accessed in one of two way:
Registered member is the recommended way to access the chat room as you get reserved user name, and don't need to enter details each time.
Other member can view your profile easily and add you as a friend, if they need to send you offline messages.
Guest visitors need to fill out the above form with basic details, only then they can enter the chat room.
Guest visitors don't get reserved names but are a good way to test the chat room or if you can't be bothered to create an account with us.
What happened to old chat room and why introduce a new chat software?
Both of the old chat room sofwares where 3rd party and making changes to them were both hard and time consuming, so we now have created a
custom chat software of our own to overcome those problems.
Why do I see the same name in chat room multiple times?
Our chat software is still in beta phase and this is a bug, of which we are aware of and will be fixed in the next coming updates.
