The Return of Chat

So rather than going for an amazing real first post with shards of light followed by angelical music from cherubim and harping angels, I will just get straight to a topic and that topic is the fantabulous existence that has returned which is Chat.
Many of us were I believe sad at the death of the old chat, watching as the admods gave it its last rights, put it on a boat set it out to the ocean and then set it on fire with flaming arrows, we were lost for a while until mibbit arrived, attempted to keep the urges at bay with Msn group chats.
Then we had mibbit and still do, and apart from the process of getting it up and the amount of times I was told off for impersonating Avenites it was and is fantastic fun, I still use it to much joy due to the amount of people who still frequent it and prefer it, indeed many of the more experienced and veteran chatters will use it.
But with the return of Chat on Aven its like seeing an old friend back, one click and its up and the old joyful chaos returns, its easy to use and a lot easier to find than mibbit meaning we get new members coming on, so its new friendships for some right from the beginning, as long as we don't scare them off too soon or its easier for new members to come and ask questions (whether they get the answer they want is a different matter).
So its good for new members but is is it good for old members, well yes, many didn't like mibbit or many who liked old chat are over joyed with the new Aven chat, this return of an old friend allows for fun and many members I personally havent chatted with since the old went down I am chatting with once more, the lack of a pm is difficult but then I have mibbit and forum Pm's for that and I never really used them anyway, as for the lack of an ability to change names.. well it makes it a lot easier to know who you are talking too.
So overall its a big Huzzah from me as the old chat fun begins and mibbit is still there so for a lot of fun and easy use I can go to chat, for some chaos or just to see the great Gatto there's still mibbit, its a win win situation really.
