When you register you are required to give a small amount of information, much of which is optional, anything you do give must be considered as becoming public information -- except your email address! Chatbugs.com will *NOT* give away your email address to anyone!!

**PLEASE NOTE**
Once you have registered your new name AND if you wish to post in the forum, you MUST confirm the registration by clicking on the link sent to you in the resulting email -- that IS SENT TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS *YOU* PROVIDE! -- you might need to check your spam or junk folders!

To use the name in the chat, registration does NOT need to be confirmed, but your name is not guaranteed to remain in the database after server maintenance is performed.

TO USE YOUR NAME IN THE CHAT: just enter the name in the appropriate (YELLOW!) input box and press enter (or click the login button) -- enter your password into the RED INPUT box that slides out from the yellow name box. If you already are using that name (but not shown as registered), and you wish to login with it again once it is registered and confirmed (so other users see you with a *YELLOW* frame), just login with another name (ie: 'test'), then log back in again with this newly registered name -- or reload the page and login again.

EVERYONE SEES "THEMSELVES" WITH A *WHITE* FRAME AND WHITE BACKGROUND WITH THIER OWN NAME;

OTHER REGISTERED USERS HAVE *YELLOW* FRAMES with a dark blue background,

AND MODERATORS HAVE *RED* FRAMES with a light blue background.

The *GREEN* FRAME means THAT user is online in AVATAR CHAT MODE (the bug mode).

To login to BOTH the CHAT and to the forum, you must login in BOTH places.

** DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD WITH ANY OTHER USER **
** YOU WILL BE BANNED OTHERWISE **
