Would it be possible to automatically integrate the chat into the index of the forum? Sort of shoutbox-like.
I'd love to see more activity in the chat.

That, I'm afraid, would make the loading time of the forum index page a lot longer. And I'm sure many people wouldn't like that.
Hiding users' signatures and avatars was the best decision ever.

Of course. Just n0t v4ry 0ft4n. ~ blow_fly98
WHY THE 1337-SPEAK?! ~ Blue Phoenix

D: - Simoneon
Noez, Simon forgot to close his notice! ~ Blue Phoenix
oh no its the end of the world! *panic* ~ Bamboori
Gzz Hizz Fz Mzzz
Anyone got a Eucalyptus-speak interpreter?
And did you know that a user can have more than 4 images in their signature if we edit it for them? Or am I just the last one to find out?
~ blow_fly98
OMG spoilers in spoilers! ~ Bamboori
OMG offtopic in offtopic! - Simoneon
OH HAI GUYZ, i didnt you see you thar :P ~ Alectric
Now, I seriously need to be a part of this. ~ SirFrog
Wasn't there something about childish mods editing signatures lately? ~ Reaper
What?!?! Where was it?!?!?! ~ blow_fly98
DO YOU HAVE SUGAR?! - Simoneon
I heard if you edit someone's signature enough, your profile automatically is set to Admin status. BP told me. ~ Alectric
then let's do this! ~ Bamboori
Just because I don't go around checking every single post and editing signatures doesn't mean that I don't mod here. I just don't check posts that aren't reported. ~ Evil Sonidow
Seriously. We should encourage people to start reporting more :/ - Simoneon
EvErYoNe'S pOsTeD hErE eXcEpT mH. 
Hey, maybe we could report every single post just so ES could check them. ~ blow_fly98
You know, that's a hell lot of work. What about a rule that everyone has to report at least one post whenever he logs in? Or an auto-report function? ~ Reaper
I liked the report-part until we got to the point of an auto-report function. That's something that requires work --> No. ~ Blue Phoenix
Finally, I get to see some invisible users. *sniggers* ~ blow_fly98
Oh, i came back. Well, since im already here, i may as well shoot bees ~ Alectric
You know, the ducks are watching. Always watching... ~ SirFrog
Hmm, I think, Lauli is about to climax due to the awesomeness of this color-wall ~ Blue Phoenix

How about a big-a** advertisement/link to the chat, then?
"Who Was Online Today
71 members online in the past 24 hours."
Yet the chat is usually only populated by 2/3 people or so.

The Java chat client is useless (almost). It disconnects after a certain duration of inactivity (afaik). And that means people have to get their own IRC Chat Client. And that happens to be too much work for some people.
In fact, having few people in the channel makes the channel have even less people. (Did that make sense?) People join the channel. "Oh! Looks like there's no one here. May as well leave." And then they leave.
Hey it's my 321th post.

The Java client is fine. Your second statement, however, is completely true.
Well, if the IRC-chat is too memory-extensive (lolwut?!), how about a simple shoutbox?

Hi guys I'm back,
will go sleep now
visit this and that
join my forum 
I can't really imagine a GOOD use for it and somehow I fear that we'll have problems with it later, too. Basically I would suggest to have both if I would know that you guys post nice things there and no adverticement, spam, insults, whatever...
But since I don't know what you would seriously use it for I prefer to do nothing so far 
hahaha

erm, az is right with this comment -the problem about IRC Applet is that it takes long to load - nobody want the index-page to load 10 secs or so...
