You guys, you'll notice an extra chat box on the forum front page - the red one. I'm still developing it, but after it's been thoroughly tested, we'll remove the ugly chat box on the top and just use this one.

oh and everything you say is logged, and also echoed on irc.mappinghell.net #mappinghell

Cool, did you write it from scratch?

No. I don't like the chatbox being linked with IRC. The IRC not only spams the chatbox with PING/PONG messages, but people can just type in "mappinghell.net" on their browsers, open up the chatbox, and pretend they're admins to everyone on the server.

meh, seems good to me. IRC communication is a plus in my eyes.
It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it was possible to find them.

You need to be logged in to be able to chat, and besides, forum messages aren't echoed to the sauer server
I'll disable it though, it's annoying
