No Chat?

Lord of light	Did Chatters die out? For as long as I can remember there has always been one mainstream chat program on BYOND and now it seems no one is using them anymore. What happened?

Rushnut	We have a Skype Group and also a Discord both of which are super active. We use these primarily now!

I wish my DM chat program, Babble, had caught on.
I made it a few years ago and I was trying to make it as functional as Chatters but with the option for clients to create their own channels and whatnot. Clicking the @ on client names would open a window for private chats. Works wonderfully, but I don't think there's much appeal for a BYOND chat program anymore, lol.

It was fun to make, though. Taught me a lot about the win() commands.

Lord of light	Looks really cool Kumourii, I just enjoyed having a readily available source to find out what's been going on around BYOND and even if I needed a quick little bit of developer help. Never thought it would go away, did people just stop logging in or did Xooxer take it down? Edit: Oh and Rushnut I tried joining but it said messaging unavailable.
