- Pac Chat, as it is so lovingly referred to, is that little php chat application in the upper-left corner of your page (in most layouts). The name is derived from the shape of the original icon for it, a small Pacman-like figure shooting sound-waves at an invisible enemy.

Pac Chat Common Problems
- If your browser isn't refreshing the chat, don't panic. Check the settings along the bottom and make sure your speed isn't set to 0.
- If you want a chat update and don't want to wait for a tick, don't hit refresh. Hit enter on a blank chat line. Blank text isn't sent, but refreshing will send your last post again.
- Certain smilies don't work in chat. Just stay away from smilies all together.
- Your text colour shouldn't be black. It can be close. Just not black. Try and avoid using bold or underline all the time. You wouldn't hand in a resume of all bold, you won't do that in my chat either. These things were meant to be accents.
What Pac Chat Isn't For
- Pac Chat isn't for questions. That's what this Wiki is for. Unless you got a question that isn't covered by this Wiki, such as "Hey, what happened to <insert name of your least favourite admin>, why is he such a dick?". That will not be covered by this Wiki.
- If you got a question about a bug, that's probably a good place to start. Keep it short and remember to check the Wiki first.
What Pac Chat Is For
- Pac Chat is for chatting. Talking shit with people about subjects that don't really matter.
The Rules of Pac Chat
- While not original, these are infact the rules:
- 1st RULE: You do not talk about PAC CHAT.
- 2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about PAC CHAT.
- 3rd RULE: Do not use acronyms. We don't like them.
- 4th RULE: Do not try and pick a fight if you're a whitey. You'll know if you're whitey.
- 5th RULE: Misspellings will get you beat.
- 6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
- 7th RULE: If you don't like what someone is saying, leave. Don't be a bitch.
- 8th RULE: If this is your first night at PAC CHAT, you have no idea what you're doing.
What You Shouldn't Say In Pac Chat
- GARBAGE PICKER: scure you all assholes
- Clearly, he missed this lesson. For one, he misspelled. Then he tried to pick a fight while he's whitey. Then he got kicked by Dogz. Dogz used to be cool.
- GARBAGE PICKER: what the fuck was that
- Whitey. Got to hate them. If you are going to be whitey in chat, try and keep it intelligent. You get a lot less leeway than most people.
Name Colors
- Non-donators have white-colored names in Pac Chat.
- Donators have boldface, orange-colored name in Pac Chat.
