Breaking Chattage and others

Let's face it, more than 80% of the guys chatting on gay.com use some 3rd party program. The Java client sucked big time. And while I'll give gay.com credit for improvement over the old chat system, the new one still pales in comparison to ALL of the 3rd party programs. Hopefully Chat Client will return. Chattage, my favorite, sadly will not survive the change.

Were the folks at PlanetOut THAT clueless about their users? Or did they feel they were losing ad revenue when we used those other programs that avoided the ads? Sadly the end result is going to be far fewer users seeing ANY of their advertising simply because we all avoid the site entirely.
