Does anyone use the chat on a regular basis? I log on most days but no one ever seems to really go on it. I think it's a bit of a shame...

I've never been able to get the chat to work, though I suppose I haven't really tried all that hard.

I haven't been able to get it working in a long time.I've got an up-to-date version of Sun's Java run-time libraries, yet it refuses to work in any browsers I try (yet other Java stuff works fine). Not just on this machine, either; my box at work has an identical problem.
To answer the question posed in the thread's title: yeah, I'd say so. I'm not advocating its removal, though.

Worked fine for me earlier.
I think it's a great feature.... trouble for me is just remembering it's there!

Every time I've used it actually I've chatted with at least someone. I haven't used it in awhile, but I like it, great way to wind down now and then with friends on here if they happen to be on. I'll open it in another window and just browse around the forum for awhile sometimes to see if anyone comes in. It would be nice if we had some way of making it known people are in there before you check.

Interesting. The chat applet now works for me (through FireFerret, at least).
/me Aypok sits in the channel, waiting for others to visit.
EDIT: It looks like I picked a great day to get it working: no-one's around. :P
Well, someone came in ("kidd_j"), but they left before I noticed them. It's a shame there is no kind of alert for when someone joins the channel.

It's a shame there is no kind of alert for when someone joins the channel. There may be no formal alert, but I'm actually rather pleased with the way the chat works. You can send sounds (smscollect was *meow*ing me all night!) so that helps get people's attention when they're idling, and better still is that if you mention their name in your message, not only will it highlight red but it will send a small beep so you know you're being spoken to. Not bad for an applet.
