Chat Tip

Remember - If the Living Room is getting too crowded or busy to follow the conversations, you can create your own private or public room for you and a few friends.

Due to recent problems with people abusing the Chat Room, access is now restricted to registered Forum members who are required to log in with their Forum Username and Password. If you have been in the Chat Room in the past week or so, you are probably already registered here. If not, please Click Here or scroll down for more information.
