That's pretty neat, I didn't know that. I have done it with some other stuff on the main website but never messed around with the chat before abandoning it for just using my IRC client to connect to it (has some advantages too like being able to scroll very far back, saving logs and the like but since they use a heavily hacked IRC server, it has disadvantages like not being able to see status messages (you won't be notified that a message you sent didn't arrive because the channel is in followers-only mode for instance)).
