This is a facility open to any and all members of TOFF: no need to join a group, be a special type of member, or have a funny handshake.
The chatbox below is here thanks to Cbox, from where you can get or create your own, personal, chatbox, for friends, family, or lover(s) if it comes to that (which is how I discovered it, but that's another story).
It's bare bones at the moment, I'll edit the look and feel in due course, if enough people start using it, of course.
Just type your name where it says so, message in the line below, then Enter.
