Here is the Website. Right now I do not have any use for it since I was banned. Trying to figure out why. Was in there most of the day and when I got home from work and tried to log on, Surprise.

Hmm, that page looks really really weird. Why not just have an IRC chat room?

Because many workplaces firewall off the IRC ports, which makes this html-based chat one of the few ways of being able to chat while in the office for many users.

But a chat service that asks you for your *email*? That's incredibly suspicious.

No its not. In fact its quite common for a chatroom to ask for your email address, usually for verification of whether the address (and thus the user) is genuine. I can assure you that we are not trying to harvest addresses or anything malicious...
