Seems like it,...I used the chat for years, all the time, the old chat was the best. I can honestly say no matter how hard anyone tryed to ruin the chat it just cant be done really, more bitching slagging ect goes on in the main forums, the mods, well one mod just took the whole looking after chat thing way too far lol. And IMHO thats the only thing thats ruining well ruined chat, put alot of people of going in there
