While the internet can be a little rough and mean-spirited sometimes, I think ePlaya shows that with a little love and support, burners are pretty excellent to each other... and a chat room offers a great way for burners to connect with each other all year round, regardless of their geography.
You can change a few preference settings for your chat experience via your User Control Panel...
To access the chat, simply click on the icon next to the quick links menu at the top left...
And the chat room looks like this...
As you can see, you'll get notified when another user posts a new topic or reply (you can change whether you see those messages in the User Control Panel), complete with a link to that post. This is still the slow time of the year, if we start to see the new topics + replies is too much noise we may change that to only show new topics.
Neither guests nor search engine bots can see either chat or the chat archives. That doesn't mean that anything goes - you still need to adhere to our terms of service and community guidelines.
Check it out and have some fun with it if you're interested, and let us know what you think.
