There has been an interesting "revelation" about the chat option on this web site, AHRDF Chat, on the VKLogger Forum under the post at http://www.vklogger.com/forum/viewtopic....45&t=13912
This extract refers :
And the icing on the cake, just to undermine the real work being done behind the scenes, VK4A?C comes to some misguided rescue with yet another chat-only site that has only served to fragment an already dwindling community. Great work Doug. Have you never heard of KST chat which was being used in the interim, or was that old urge to re-invent the wheel and interfere so uncontrollable?
Well at the time I set up the chat software there was talk - or more precisely rumour - about a replacement for the Chat (and Spot) for the to-be-disappearing VKLogger Chat. The Chat option was set up here so that when VKLogger Chat shut down, there was at least an Australian-based chat option available. And it did shut down. Not that many logged into the AHRDF Chat. Fragmenting the users - it didn't happen - but at least they had a CHOICE as to where to go when VKLogger closed..
Now that we have a great facility that will move to https://vkspotter.com as soon as it is out of BETA, which shouldn't be long now, which is certainly very slick in comparison to the old VKLogger. The Chat option is simply great and is a testament to the work by (mainly) VK2AZ and VK2XAX.
So that begs the question - do I leave the chat software available for those who want a 'quiet' chat during experimentation so as not to either annoy - or be annoyed by - other people using the chat on VKSpotter.
My response at this time is : IT STAYS - for now...
If there are other Spot/Chat options still being developed (as noted elsewhere in the referenced post) when faced with VKSpotter's presence, well good luck there.

PS as for the other comments like interfere and uncontrollable - well I don't do dummyspits.. Glass houses, Adam.
Finally, at least I provided an alternative facility for when you removed yours. Maybe you could have (/should have) done an alternative in lieu !
Fire protective suit now set to maximum !
