I know the site was hacked a few months ago and maybe that has something to do
with its removal, but I sure do miss the immediacy and intimacy of live chatting.
Thanks for answering this question, which has probably been asked and answered

http://www.chatzy.com/BLCHAT
It has been abandoned and seems to be nothing but a spam venue now, but anyone
can feel free to use it if they like. If someone reputable want's to step up

Yes, but of all the possible features to be implemented, chat is really low on

When hell freezes over is the projected completion date.

At this point I'm just happy the current site stays up.
Asking for anything more just seems like pressing our luck.
