I have had some users wonder why people aren't responding to the chat feature we installed at
www.contrebombarde.com.
The reason may be that people don't know when they are being contacted. If you don't have the chat function open, the only notification you will get is the header or tab that Contrebombarde is open in will flash "new messages". So keep your eye out for friends trying to contact you while you're browsing around the site.
I haven't heard a whole lot of feedback on the chat function so far. However, I hope you've tried it out or are busy enjoying it.
