We still need a good background for chat. I want to get this chat open, promoted, and running soon. Therefore, it will be a short running contest. Theme is CommunityForum. Xat generally likes simple and classy. We also need outer background. You may post them here for all to view. Prize is
100 days and 1000 xats. I would like to close it by Saturday evening perhaps 8 pm ET.
Good luck!!

Chriss i reckon xat.com/Forums should be bought and made into the official forums chat, its short and simple, ive checked it's price and its 8.3k but you can probably buy it or always ask darren or chirss to give you it.
