yeah, I kinda miss the chat, too, but it's hard to keep something like that going long term without problems.
And I feel the same way about IMing... I don't like it because I get attacked every time I get on, and then I feel obligated to talk to all these people, and I end up spending twice as much time as I wanted to online. I liked chat because I could just pop in and pop out whenever, and I didn't end up talking to someone till 3AM about their puppy dying or whatever.
It's hard to find a good balance between isolation and community, in RL and online. I often feel like the littlest bear in the bed going, "I'm lonely" after telling everyone to roll over. ^_~
