not a bad idea. There's space enough in the chat.
One could even consider having the : after each name line up vertically, but that might require a slight sideways extension of the chat window or lines can get very short.

We have another suggestion, [@Mahz]...

Right now, the chat lists who are online and who are muted. How about dividing it a little more?
Who are online.
Who are lurking (not actively using the chat for 10 minutes).
Who have been muted.


In addition, some functionality that would make the chat more practical. We know several of these are probably on your list, but it doesn't hurt to make sure.
[list][*]automated Join/quit messages
[*]/me function
[*]A letter + tab key - scrolls through online names starting with that letter
[*]Ability to ping and be pinged through name mentions while not focused on the chat tab
[*]link to the master log file
[*]ability to control width of the chat window
[/list]

We could probably think of more, but these are a start.
