Chat Room

[Guest guest]

I'm haveing a little trouble downloading the software to creat a

chat room but if anyone wants to do it just go to the homepage

and Go to chat. Just creat one and post the name of it to the group

and whoever is online can enter. I will try later to install the

IM so I can start one up myself.
