LOL Yeah Sam is busy ATM and doesn't have the time to look at the chat service, it will be back, but after we sort some other stuff out first.

I don't understand why there should be chat. Some kind of PM-system would be much better alternative (And then again: I could send the PM's using LFSforums...).

I have never seen more than 2 on the chat at the same time.

The most I saw was about 10 in there. We added it in the first instance because we created a similar system for the CTRA admins, so that we could work more effectively together on reports. It was easily portable, and seemed pretty good code, so we stuck it on MyCTRA. However, for some reason we have yet to properly work out, the processor load on the server was massive. If one person joined chat, one of the server's processors would immediately jump up in usage by 20%. Basically we couldn't allow MyCTRA Chat to get popular until we figured out the issue.. we had to drop it.

I'd thought about a PM system, but as you point out there's already that option here on this forum. We have in-server team messaging across servers and AFAIK, that's never been much used. I don't think LFSers are lacking in the ability to communicate that we at CTRA can really help them with, at the end of the day.

indeed - so just keep your msm on, your landline free and your mobile handy and i'll never need to use the chat again

oh yeah - don't forget the dual login of TS and vent as well
