Day three now of chat being down every time I try. But chat has died anyhow. Dunno if it was the various technical problems, or the flirt at moderation, or competition. Heck, one of the few reasons I ever came in was to get the news -- when the rest of Rendo's site was running so mud-slow it was too frustrating to try to read the forums. (Vastly improved now, and thank you.)
