The ability to see how many users are either in the chat room or using IM

I second or third this thought.   It is annoying that i have to sign in as a member to see if anyone is using the chat rooms.   

I think also the ability to purge all messages that are in certain chat rooms.   

Because my site is not so popular enough, it is hard for members to meet up in the chat room at one time.   i keep the messages in the chat, but i would like the option to clear the messages when i want.

I have no problem with chuppo besides its cost.     as a free site unfortunately i have to point my dollars in other directions.  I am not saying your company does not deserve the money to chuppo, it does deserve it.   my problem is the fact that people using apple computers, people who have aim, and those who have yahoo instant messanger,  can all use video chat for free. 

As per your answer Emil, do you mean you are not going to offer any updates for your standard chat?   

I assume any updates any of us want with the standard chat you can implement as a "personal upgrade"

 

An indicator of usage would be good - be also good to see this from "skadate" admin as well as being visable from within the site itself.

remember everytime you relog into chat this is counted against your FREE sessions. We on an average have to relog into chat several times due to the lag delay and other video cam issues.
