Not really sure what to make of this. It's a bad implementation[0] of a chatroom with up and down votes on each message. I don't like the idea of real time karma. There is enough discussion about why something is up voted or down voted when you are constrained by the slowness of a forum system.

[0] Bad because of the way the text wraps if the lines you submit are too long and it requires the use of http. There is only one room, etc.
