   There is already a Kate-based web chat board. 
(http://www.intserv.com/~dobenson/talk_to_kate.html)
That you are unaware of it's existance proves how ineffective
they are at attracting new fans. The spam in gaffa appears to 
once again be under control, and we have our lovely spam-free
haven back.
  
   There are dozens of free web-based chat programs out there. What
Gaffaweb *does* need is:

   A search engine
   A newsgroup archive

   Any assistance in this area welcome.
