Firstly there's no need to debate, the colored names don't work because you cannot see many of the lighter colors. It was a good idea in theory but in practice it didn't work, accept brothers, and move on...
Secondly, it seems you have made up your minds on the issue of all online members showing up in the chat, it sounds like "its a big 'NO' - we didn't design it that way, so tough"
Please don't go like NING - they are brutal in their arrogance and unwillingness to even discuss it if they don't feel it has merit - If you want success then think outside the "traditional Chat Room Box" ...
