Reversion of Chatroom

[Hypnos]

Some of you may remember the Sigmachat chatroom that the forum used to have before our webhosts switched us to parachat. Well we now have the ability to switch back if we so choose! However, it will cost a little bit of money and mean that our remaining time with Parachat (valid until May 25) goes to waste. Please consider carefully!

If you'd like to compare the two chatrooms, then the Sigmachat one can be found here temporarily:

with the current one to be found here:

The poll on this issue may be found here:

When comparing the two please note that the Sigmachat one (the new one) is only a demo room at the moment, and will also have these additional features:

No Advertising At All

Free Technical Support

Optional Logo / Branding

Customizable Image Emoticons (and previously I had added a whole bunch!)

Customizable Audio Emoticons (and previously I had added a whole bunch!)

Font Size/Style Customization

Color Customization

Disable Private Messaging Option

Individual User Administration

Operator Admin. Controls (Kick, Ban, etc..)

Having made a calculation, switching now stands to waste only just over GB£10 (US$18), so weighing in that, the fact that if Sigmachat doesn't work out there's a 30 day money back guarantee, and that out of all 17 votes cast so far (clearly people really care!) almost 60% want to switch at some point with the others not really bothered, I'll instigate the change from Parachat to Sigmachat as soon as possible, starting now.

...aaaaaand I think that's done now. Sigmachat is now up and running, accessible for eligible users via the "Live Chat" link at the top of any forum page. As before the "Who's Chatting" box will appear at the bottom of the forum index only, and updates every 5 minutes. Over the coming weeks I'll probably add some more custom sounds and smilies, as well as sub-rooms, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
