Hey guys,
As you may have noticed, the site has been pretty slow lately...but I know everyone's been doing a little bit of lurking, so by now I'm sure you've seen each of the different chats. I changed to Everywhere chat as it seemed like it was what most people wanted, but unfortunately it was buggy and kept Smashed and a few others from being able to post..so...sadly that had to be scrapped. Sorry guys!
But don't lose hope yet! About two weeks ago Roy introduced my to a new chat which is very similar to Everywhere...it's currently on the chat page, but has also been slightly buggy (for me at least). Anyway, I need a definitive vote on everyone's preference on the chat: Xat or IRC. They are side-by-side in the chatroom and I ask that all members use both to see which they prefer. After you make your choice, please vote. In about 2 weeks I will close the poll and decide based on the votes which chat to keep.
Please vote as soon as you can, since I can tell this situation hasn't helped the chat situation on FTW. Thanks guys!

Whlie I'd be okay with either, I personally prefer Xat. It loads easier for me, and it shows the conversation prior to when I enter....which is really useful for when IE hangs up on me.

I personally vote for us to stay with Xat as well. Not for any particular reason, really. It's just that I've finally gotten used to typing on it (I used to have a lot of errors before typing too fast). I think I'd feel like a wasted a bit of my time learning for it if we just switch over to something else, I suppose.

IRC is on the chat page, underneath the Xat.

I've gotten used to Xat as well. I like that I can hear when someone's logged in or typed something.

I'm afraid the IRC isn't working, and we have found an alternate solution which I think everyone already (or will) like more. We'll keep the Xat since it is the only chat that works for several members, while also maintaining a FTW Skype channel which we've been using to chat and voice chat with. Overall, I think that's the best option, and I think everyone should get on Skype and friend everyone so we can get the chance to talk and even voice chat! Luis, Jody, Roy, Skye, and I have been having a great time so far!
