    Hello!

    I was just at the "Nintendo Forums Live Chat" and noticed it was a Java app. We all know Java apps kill your browser and arent very fun to use.

    A good alternative for the NFLC would be IRC (Internet Relay Chat). It's alot like AIM, YIM, and MSN Messenger but it focuses way more on the "group" aspect of things (like chatrooms). You would download an IRC client (mIRC being a good one for WindowsXP, Conversation being a good one for OS X), then learn how to log onto a server and chat away!

    I, myself, could set up the IRC room but I will be going on vacation soon so don't expect it until next week or so.

    Here is a guide to mIRC you can read over to understand IRC itself easier.

    So admins and fellow members, what do you think?

    Sounds pretty cool, but would it take away the games and the drawing board?

    Well, if you have a lot of anti-virus and pop up blockers Java is useless!

    I think we should just keep the one we have.

    Fine, stick with the crappy Java "chatroom".

    I see most of you don't have a clue what IRC is so I'll leave it at that.

    It's both when trivia is not in session, but when trivia is in session, you can have #nfchat
