 * I’ve been using another chat program but keep running into problems with server
   load. So, I’ve been giving this chat a test on a private page on the Writing 
   Groove website. It is set up to allow only those who are logged in to see and
   participate in chat. So far so good.
 * However, there are a few features that I would love to see, and would pay to 
   have if the server load isn’t increased. Keeping this lightweight is really important
   for chats that regularly have more than 5 chatters at a time.
    - Ability for users to choose to have, or not to have, a sound alert for new
      chat messages. This could be a simple checkbox. This one is really important.
      Right now there is no way for a user to disable it. It’s either on all the
      time, or off all the time.
    - Integrate with Buddypress so that username link automatically points to user
      profile.
 * Not absolutely necessary, but my users like:
    - Ability to change their chatting color.
    - Ability to change font (this is less so. The idea is to be able to see at 
      a glance who is chatting. Color alone can do this).
    - A side window with icons, and possibly the names, of the current chatters.
      This makes it easy to see who is currently active and available for chatting.
      Along with this, if a user closes the window, have the chat notice it and 
      have the user icon and name drop off the list.
 * Are any of these possible?
