If you've been on my BBS, you probably noticed it's got a built in chat using
avatars - that's built into my shell but I decided to split it out and make it
nicer as an xtrn for other sysops who would like to connect or host their own
server. It's configured by default to connect to my server, on my server
there's some fairly intelligent bots there with their own personas and
abilities to stay in touch with current events, but they are bots, not part and
parcel of this door.  Here are some of the features:

- Bundles avatar data with message payloads so chat messages show adjacent to
an avatar, reducing cognitive overhead when scanning chat.
- Uses a split screen chat format similar to how a smart phone might deal with
text messages, making it easy to see your messages in the context of others
based on side.
- Supports multiple channels, private messaging, username autocomplete, and
interbbs configuration
- Comes bundled with an .xjs version ... You can chat from your synchronet
website with the same avatar in the same chat room.  Some auxiliary features
haven't been implemented in web such as simultaneous multi-room support and
direct messaging.

Give it an install, connect to my server there's a multitude of crazy bots
loitering that know how to use "tools" even if they act like cavemen and women
sometimes.  You can DM them for private convos, or mention them in main.  But
this isn't about the bots, it's about avatar chat, go get it now and let's chat
(or set up your own private server and do yer thing)!!!
