New sajha chatroom

I have heard from few people and now here that owners of NEPCHAT.COM have been accusing sajha of 'stealing' their chat room.

In all absurdity of the accusation, this is what I have to say:

You drive in the highway and see someone driving a nice car so you come home and do your research and buy that car legally by paying for it.

How absurd is it for that gentleman who was driving that car to accuse you of stealing his car because you purchased the same car?

More than absurdity it boils down to the mentality that some people harbor.

I have always been looking for a good chatroom for sajha so that users can interact easily, and when Nepchat came to sajha to freely advertise about their chatroom, I went to take a look at it and I liked that chatroom. In looking at some help pages, I was able to find that it was a commercial chatroom - (prochatrooms.com for those interested) - which I decided to buy and test out.

In accusing sajha of stealing a commercially available product, acting like it's their own product, those guys running Nepchat are only showing their inability to appreciate a marketplace economy where anyone is free to buy anything available for sale.

However, if it's any consolation to them, I decided to stop using the same version of chat nepchat is using and am using a different version that does not look like thiers at all.

I believe in making 'good' - 'better' and have customized the other version to make it very NEPALI friendly with commands in Nepali unicode, with easy access to type in Nepali seamlessly.

If you haven't checked out the Chat in last 24 hours please do so and please be ready to be pleasantly surprised :)
