As of now i clicked the "Submit Hold" button for the first time in my life. There is a thing allowing you to chat with HA's, so why not have a chatroom for all users? It would be great. We do have an IRC channel, but it's unnoficial and nobody visits it.

In-Game CaravelNet chat. Sure, you need a full membership, but $12 a year (or whatever the price is) isn't a lot. You pay more for the Orange Box, for gob's sake!

How about having a forum chatroom which links-in to the CaravelNet one? Probably requiring CNet in order not to make that a bit redundant. Having to enter a game just to use the chatroom is going to be a bit awkward.

That would be perfect, except for the fact that the CaravelNet requirement does not allow all forumites to participate in chat, but I see why it would be necessary.

Frankly I'd be happy if names were greyed out rather than removed from the users list when they just pop out to switch holds or something.

This is exactly what I do though, and I do it so much, it's not really awkward. I'll often be playing something in my JtRH game (it doesn't crash, it's fun, it doesn't crash, my JtRH .dats aren't messed up, and it doesn't crash) and using my TCB solely for chat.

It would be nice if the in-game chat worked better though. I'd have to say the forum HA chat is much more robust than the in-game chat.

I say! Is that a leaked spoiler I see there? Or when you say "chat", are you merely referring to a private HA board?

Oh wait. Ignore me; I didn't read the first post.

I'd say your post has more leaks in it.
