I was doing some research this evening and I do not think we'll be able to keep the chat open. It'll be used too much and we can't host it. We can't host a PHP chat and especially a java chat. The thing we can do is setup a chat somewhere with a third party, but it won't be with the forum usernames and it won't show how many people are in it on the home page. If someone has any ideas, please feel free to suggest them. If anyone has a dedicated server, we may be able to do something with that. I'd be open to a "Chat Sponsor" who would be featured on that page. At any rate, that is where we stand. Thank you.
