I wanted to use the chatroom but it keeps giving me this message when I click on it. I guess its the underscore in my name but am not sure. I wish I knew that when I created my name but I didnt. Is this the problem?

More than likely that isnt the problem. I dunno what it is though. Contact the administrator about it.

im sure the mods will handle it.
Hmm, well you both have underscores so maybe it is?
I dunno why that'd make any differnce though.

:confused: I really think its the underscore. But why would it let me sign up with one if its going to be invalid in the chat?
Chats Java. Maybe it just doesnt like underscores

ive seen underscores in the chat, they appear when you have a space in your name, if my name was Sam Whore, it would appear Sam_Whore in the chat, the problem will be fixed soon!
u could just make and account like DroPrincess or somthing to use only for chat

The _ you see in the chat are because of spaces in the user name.
The chat system is being assessed and very well could be changed soon...
Sorry for any inconvenience it causes.. I know how much of a pain it can be especially when you're unsure if it's your computer or the site.
We'll try to fix this soon,
Bob.

The chat system assumes all usernames are restricted to A-Z, 0-9, blank (space), and period...
Appearantly, at some point the restrictions were lifted for username registrations on the message boards allowing usernames to contain characters outside those bounds, such as underscores, exclaimation points, astrisks, etc ... the chat gateway simply won't allow those, but could be easily modified with less or even no character filtering.
Hope this helps.

well generally, only God can be God, any one else can be god. Unless you really believe Ron or Sundance to be your creator, which you would have every legal right to believe, otherwise they would be as stated above. Anyway, i know your probably just kissing ass, so it shouldnt make no difference to others.
