I object 
Personally I don't particular care about which chat room is used, but right now there are three chat rooms in use. It isn't like the Dinknetwork has such a huge user base that it can support all three. Especially as we don't have scheduled meetings...

Let's see what we have right now:

Pillbug's chat (this thread):
Some people don't get this to work. Personally I'm not really fond of the looks of the thing either, especially the smilies can become bothersome when overdone.

Skull's chat (Thread):
- Only supports a limited amount of people online, so not feasible right now. Skull is looking for a new chat, but right now I think we better not introduce yet another chat. So I suggest we ditch this one to keep things somewhat clear.

IRC chat:
-IRC client is difficult to set up. But perhaps with a java client it shouldn't be to hard (hopefully).

So, someone should make the cut here, this competition can't be good. And someone (preferably the same someone) should set up regular meetings.

EDIT: Personally I have a preference to using the IRC channel for the reasons stated above.
