    Well you might be talking to yourself then. heh


    I think one major problem is many people probably just visit here during work hours, and IRC ports are often blocked in offices.

    Web based chat room is just a forum that auto refreshes.

    yeah, probably, thats why I think MSN is perhaps the best option, unless of course you have the ports blocked, in which case you can use the web-based version, a little bit slow but hey, no way they can block that.

    A small web-based (aspx?) or java-based chatroom, linked to from vbforums, so you log in with your own username+password, would be a good idea.

    It'll be just like chit chat at a faster speed.

    Actually it would not be such a good idea! A lot of companys block entertaining sites with smart filters! All sites including a chat are considered entertaining. Why not just stick to chit chat! Its a good chat alternative!

    Hm... you're right about that part. It's better to sit at work and refresh the page once in a while and reply to anything that appeals to me. (Sandpaper).

    And then get back to work.

    I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

    I'd have the sites visited monitored and any sites visited frequently would be reported to (someone) who would decide wether site was alright. The first few days would be hell for him though, lol.
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    I would allow any non-pornographic/game/disturbing site as long as it didn't consume an excessive amount of time.
