FlyByChat, iteration 2 -- feedback please

All the big feedback from my prior submission[1] has been implemented. I'm trying to make sure the site is good enough before making the first big marketing push, because chat obviously has the chicken-and-egg problem in a big way. Right now I think it's ready, but would love to get some more eyes on it before proceeding.

Couldn't make the big "WELCOME TO FLYBYCHAT" left pane go away, so it felt like there was a lot of screen real state that was left unused.

Also the HN lurker I was chatting with raised a good point: there should be different colors for "You" and "Them", would make it much easier to see the flow of the conversation.

EDIT: Would also be easy to add a horizontal bar, to track the last portion of chat you saw before you switched tabs/removed focus from browser

Things I'd appreciate:

#Different colors for people in chat (just assign randomly from a few distinct colors, or let people choose)

#Bold the chat from my Facebook friends

#Let me tab complete names

#have it beep when someone uses my name and make that line visually distinct.

It wasn't obvious to me how to start chatting with someone without creating an account.

If I just click the Go button without signing in it just spins for a while (~5 mins) so I shut it down. Not sure if this means you have to be signed in or not.

(figuratively speaking of course)
