nope, go to the top of any eccie page.
just above the "Currently Active Users: 3120 (834 members and 2283 guests)" line, there are 6 links, the 3rd from the left is "Eccie Chat"
click on that and your browser will display eccie's chat page.
wait for it to load up and chat to your cock's content.
or go to the Main Menu on the left side of any eccie page.
click on "Chat"
i just think all you have to be is a registered eccie member. PA is not required.
but i could be wrong....
