I'm not sure what Addison means by those rooms being active only at certain times. They're active just when there are people in it. They're not like websites in that they are actually running on a server 24/7 regardless if anyone is visiting. If you go there and no one else is there, the chat room is active because you are there!
Does that clear it up a bit?
That said, there are probably hundreds of chat rooms out there at any one time. You just need the name of one (like appleinsider) and voila - you're there.
.... and click on any of the chatrooms nothing will happen if you have just iChat on your drive and not AOL messenger...if you have AOL messenger and click it will load up....if you copy and paste the name of a chatroom in ichat it will just be empty while if your in AOL messenger the same room will be full...Try it!!

That's exactly what they are.

I've noticed this to. Anybody know of a workaround?
Appleinsider
Apple (not often visited, very new)
Jaguar (usually quite crowded)
LEMchat (mostly consisting of a few regulars and a new guy only once in a while)
