So... who's @jadrian_uk? Because that was not a nice thing to wake up to.

@autoflavour (and @ESKEMA) read the message above yours. PM = private message. It's in the pipeline ;)

hey stewdio..
instead of when you click @name coming up on the main chat, it would be cool if that only was displayed on that users feed..like a private message just between the 2 people..

@Amicus posts only last 24 hours so they do disappear. but also... working on a way regular users can agree to clear a room's content.
@scarabin I was worried about this too, but it turns out 99% of the action happens in the main room. If the main room is quiet then odds are the whole system is quiet. The "rooms option" is really there for quick side chats or to get away from trolls in the main room.
And PM is coming! I'm working through some additions to the back end that will allow private messages, user karma values, grouping together to ban trolls, etc. My aim is to make some progress on that next week. (Swamped with work right now.) But I'll of course keep you updated.
This is the most fun accidental side project I've worked on in a while.

@scarabin
yeah, although it's a good way for a quick private conversation... it would be nice if private rooms were deleted automatically if no comments were made in an hour or something.

i think it's better to just have one room. it's too dead in there usually to go splitting up what little traffic we have into even smaller fragments.

Rooms!
My chat app now supports rooms. The main room will always be where it's most exciting ( http://stewd.io/chat/ ) because that's where everyone lands by default.
But other rooms are just a URL away. You can just create your own room on the fly by using the following format:
http://stewd.io/chat/room/qbnOr if you wanted a "London" chat room you could try:
http://stewd.io/chat/room/london…See how it works? It's easy. So... Right now there's no list of active rooms. And I probably won't do that—I might highlight particular rooms if that makes sense, but leave the rest off radar. Remember: every room is open to everyone so if someone knows the URL they can enter the room. (Read as: protect your privacy! Don't post things that shouldn't be public.)

I did some more back-end work and fixed up the users list. Now you should see *everyone* in the chat room, even lurkers who have never posted anything. (If they haven't entered a username they'll probably show up as "anonymous" but you might also see some "lurker" names.)
And now when you close the chat window your name will drop off the list within about 20 seconds. (I think I can reduce this to about 6 seconds with the proper testing... I just want to avoid usernames for people with slow connections flickering on and off.)
Don't forget you can uncheck "auto-refresh" and "force scroll to bottom" as you see fit. (For instance, if you want to scroll up to the top and read earlier parts of the conversation.)
More coming down the road...

teehee's!!Hombre_Lobo - sterling work mate, its an ace chat! like its layout now!Hombre_Lobo

Hey. I just streamlined some back-end bits and added a new feature: The users list at the top is organized by most recent post, so as soon as you post something your name jumps to the front of the list. If someone's name is near the bottom of the list it means they're either lurking or they've left. And....
Clicking on a name in that list will add the "@user" reply to your message.
I have an idea for reducing troll frustration too but I need to do some more testing before rolling that out. (And that testing has to wait until I've finished some more client things.) So until then...
