I created an alternate chat site as a kind of back-up in case we should need one.
Nothing fancy. Just basic.

I'm not sure, but I also don't think you have to register to enter the chat on my site. Just click on the "live chat" at the right of the main page and enter a username (or nick)... entering a profile is not needed.... and click "chat".
But if you need to register, it's easy, and can be done here....

As I become more experienced at doing this, I might add some additions and modifications. I'm still a novice.
