It would be cool to have buddys and a buddy list on sr so we can chat. makes communication faster when you are both online. or maybe something at least that lets the person know you are online.

Why you just don't use the SILC Chat ?
An explanation to get there can be found here:

I think that a built-in chat in SR is no good idea, because of security and server-load reasons

I do. However, many people don't or don't even know about it.

You can't force people to do anything, just like you can't force people to go on the forums. Its up to them. Honestly chat is more of just a hang out place than a place where business gets done. The forum is where vendors are discussed and products are advertised.

I have seen a few sites with the facebook style chat bar but I think it would require javascript.
When clicking chat it shows online users etc, and it also has many other features.

- more for someone to support either same mods here or whoever is asked to run the chat on behalf of DPR..
- more "apps" that are associated to or operated under the same banner more visible the organisation is...whilst an official SR jabber/silc chat is a good idea...at some
point some there would be some cross over sharing of resources which won't be good for SR.
