Seems like a lot of people are having an issue logging into chat since we updated. Here is what you need to do: Logout of the chat and forums, clear your cache and cookies. Log back in to the forum, then login to the chat with the same user/pass you use for the forums.
No offense. I like open discussion in this forum. The only things that bothers me are lack of feedback to posts or people ridiculing the desires of others. Go for it, my friend! Let's have fun.
