Java chat?

this isnt so much a suggestion for PR the mod as it is for PR the website, but i noticed people complaining alot about the amount of useless chat going on in the games and how no one really reads it anyway. so i was thinking could the DEVs maybe add a chatroom to the website? like a java chat? i think it would be really awesome to be able to talk to fellow players without having to worry about being shot. maybe this would free up some players to actually PLAY in the servers instead of arguing over whether the Ak is better than the M16 by people who have fired neither.

and yes i know that there is a IRC channel for PR, but it would be soo much easier to just have a java chat right on the website that you just click into im sure you would have a higher number of chatters this way.

There is a way to put IRC chat on the website, here is how I set it up for my clan: Team Terror: World Task Force | IRC

BUT, we don't really use IRC anymore so, that page isn't really used anymore. The PR guys could do something like that though if they wanted to, and have it go to their PR channel on irc.

its not a bad idea to have a sort of chat channel on the PR site

There already is an IRC channel, and a shoutbox would probably not be doable on a forum with this many users: the conversation would go too fast to follow.
