So I have been checking out the chat app and it seems to be working but no one is using it lately. Is it still in test mode?

I wish the feature were restored that was operating when I first joined cc. You could see what was going on in the lounge while on the homepage of the forums. To me, it would be like all of a sudden there is a new heaven and a new earth.

Well it was... For a while...

Currently if you try to connect it looks like you are in a chat room, but nobody else is there. But multiple people can be trying to connect at once and nobody can see each other. So you're not really in a chat room.

it works again.. for now.
ofcourse all the intermezzos of being broken.. including almost all of april.. does not help regaining a user base.

so lets hope it now stays working.

features still missing.. (but that would be more needed once you have the user numbers up)
-more than one room
-ability to go private chat with 1 other user

optionally : mic time limits.
-not really an issue right now due low user numbers and multiple mics can be open at the same time..
but I guess not all will open a mic if somebody is talking.
so say it disconnects you after x time
*!
(nobody wants the old paying members get all the speak time mess back that was really really bad)

I also have heared plans to allow adding video. (webcam)

thus yes it still is in beta.. as those functions are planned but not implemented yet.

not sure how active they are working on the coding to add that.
