The Java chatroom is the main one, but is currently down (I believe). The new A/V room is the backup room, used when the main chatroom is down.
That's a good thing.
What I have found is that there are pros and cons to both chat rooms. The A/V room's pros is that, once you add someone to your block list, they stay blocked even after you've been gone and come back. Even after you
sign out and come back.
In the DigiChat, however, that isn't so; if someone so much as signs out and signs back in, they are bumped off of your ignore list. It's a shame, really.
In the A/V room, private chatting with people is more difficult because you do not have the separate window option, but rather you have to type the user's name in brackets <TangerineTicklee> like so, to send them whispers, and whisper back and forth. It makes the A/V seem more like a social, open place, and less of a secret-like place, but in all actuality, it is still rather reclusive because of the fact that barely anyone ever goes there.
A bit of the best of both worlds, it seems.
