you can change your screen name anytime, just select the textfield that says "scatman 5" or whatever and write over it. please respect the dim casual peace of the water feature by not asking other visitors "who are you".

the chat will not save what you wrote, but it will persist as long as there's 1 person still hanging out. once everyone leaves, the chat erases completely and no record is kept. the "peers online" stat might be off by 1-- at any moment there might be one more or one less person at the pond than indicated. you can resize the chat window to show more pond or more chat.

pond audio is available at the visitor's discretion. you may adjust the volume to suit your pond style.

thank you Jeff S "Big Boy" for the chat window!
