I am glad that people welcome this new feature. There are two places you can check who is in the chat rooms: one is on story front page, one is on the forum home page. You can see how many people is in the chat room.

I didn't set to require registration to chat so that people can get in to have a lot without too much trouble. If you close your chatroom window without logout, you will be automatically logout after 10 minutes.

After the chatroom passes the function and pressure test, we can organize some special chat topics hosted by some people who are knowledgable in those topics.
