I'm sorry i can't join-- but chat rooms are specically named as a no no..

But its a great idea-- you might want to set up a schedule-- "New chats start ever other hour." (Even hours greenwich time-- 12, 2, 4, etc. ) since we span the globe-- we could just check on greenwich time to see if the room is likely to be "in use" Wouldn't that would make it easier for everyone? rather than random checks? after you first check greenwich time, you know that your local time is in sync (also even) or out of sync.. and once every two hours is a nice window..
