I really can't give an opinion as I've only been in the chat room once or twice. However, I've been chatting on IRC for close to 20 years and that is where I go to meet up with old friends and have my fun chat. Now with working a bit again and limited time, I haven't even been going there for quite awhile.

Besides this board (which I love) I'm also a part of an online diary community and a "cat lover" site, so I just can't do everything.
