i see there is a chat, and im just curious, i pop in now and then and no one is ever there...i know this site is for drawing but i think it would be fun to actually talk with the talent...does anyone ever chat?

pffftt not really. Back in the day 2draw V.1 used to have a chat where when somone popped in the chat would make a sound. I used to leave a windoe open, and when i heard the sound i could tell that someone came in. This one doesnt have that feature, and it doesnt make any noises when people leave messages. So if ur waiting for someone to come in......you have to watch that window.....

pffftt?is that the sound of someone popping in or the sound of an artist showing disdain? lolgood idea zappo, thanks.

this is like chat with a looonnngg delay between responses...

haha, davinci, we're an impatient generation tho ;p

you can log into the chat using your favorite irc client, such as mirc, gaim, or chatzilla. Various clients will have various methods of letting you know when people join. I personally have completely forgotten about the chat, so I never use it.
If you have mozilla just click this link: irc://irc.progameplayer.com/2draw
