I'm thinking, perhaps that we can do away with the Chat Room button or maybe change it into a irc:// link?

I second that thought. It's just a waste of space.

Download time? Wtf?

Err... Download time: takes time to download 3 kb of images, plus the processing time needed to display the image. Not a big deal, but it's just annoying, plus it takes up server space (5 kb?).

it's 1,242 bytes. whopy do. We'll probably get the CGI IRC fixed up here sometime.

Hah, anyone who even notices the difference in download times with and without that single "Chat Room" image really shouldn't be playing online games...

I second that. As of right now, my connection speed is 24.0kb/s. I dont notice a difference.

If you're going to call that download time, look at your avatar. 8Kb. Much more than the stupid little chat image. If you can download the avatars on the page, that button isnt going to make a difference.

I'm just plainly saying that the button should serve some actual purpose, not to just a dummy page.
