    Might be too many members for one....but it means members can talk to each other without keep pm and going into the chatroom every time. I can do one and I'm sure others can too. but.....dunno if it's what people want,

    Yeah, I know what you mean, but I think the biggest problem is the shear number of members hear, not only would it be hard to talk, but also much harder to moderate

    Major spammage and of course, like Kazuya said, advertising their sites.

    You could go use GR's IRC room instead. ;)

    Way too many members..the only way it could work is if it was premium members only that can see it or somethin, but I dont think thats posible.

    this will not work with the amount of people on GR. We have the IRC for a reason, use it. IF you see people flaming or anything else wrong, PM either of the IRC mods, or any other staff member and we will handle it.
