We tried to make this work, and it looked promising, but we didnt get enough support from other members. Too complicated for people to get up and running I suppose. We wanted to limit chat to ca.com members only, and the only way that can effectively be done is via a java-based online chatroom (similar to what sounddomain.com has)/instant mesenger. Feel free to get in there, and chat it up if you want. But no one moderates it as the three ops in there, BASS_OUTLAW, OLD_SCHOOL, and myself, don't really have time to sit and watch a chatroom all day long.
Again, feel free to go in there, but it is not really monitored, and most discussions end up going off topic quickly.
