JV Chat

Jiggmin's Village had several official and unofficial chats throughout the years, with them listed below.
==Precursor==
Jiggmin added a chatbox to the site in January 2007 identical in design to the one in Click Upon Dots. It was removed by the time a redesign launched in May.
==Unofficial==
The site lacked a chat during a several year period, so various Xat rooms maintained by the community took its place.
===SavsAwesomeClub===
Also known as Savs or Troll Chat, it was made by SavGurl101 in 2008."JV Historical Reference Guide". Acid Forums. August 2015. It started off popular and was crowded on weekends, being the primary hangout of mods XPA!, Forseti, ellie and Flame among others. It turned controversial as time passed after it was discovered people frequently flamed JV members and Jiggmin there. Some also praised the actions of Blindi, bud.smoker and Forseti, who were co-owners of the room."JoMan's Blog: The War of Jonathan vs Jestes Continues". Jiggmin's Village. March 1, 2009.
Ultimately former moderator Jonathan :) was flamed while there once, leading him to post screenshots from it showing their behavior, including one where XPA! allegedly claimed to be planning to prune the forums. The resulting drama ended in Jonathan's ban and Savs eventually shut down sometime during early 2009.
===JVclub===
Deemed "the official unofficial chatroom for JV and PR2", it was created in 2009 by Artamas, Chimpy and MacOS as the successor to the JiggminVillage xat. It included improved rules to keep the chat under control, a music playlist, embedded pages of PR2, other games and even JV. The most popular fan-chat of the period, JVclub was where a few JV memes originated. Various tournaments for PR2 were held there as well."The Official Unofficial Chatroom of Platform Racing 2 and JiggminVillage!". Kongregate. July 25, 2009.
JVclub was also noteworthy for being the lead up to a minor incident on the forums shortly after the UnknownAX disaster. It involved c3Rchno, formerly known as desert boy. Mr. El X repeatedly kept calling c3 by his old name, much to his annoyance. El X kept on going even after c3 asked him to stop until he got angry and decided to pull a bud.smoker, posting porn and other disturbing images all over JV. It was deleted relatively fast however and c3 ended up banned.
The room eventually closed in late-2010 and was replaced by the similarly named "JVklub", which featured more lax rules though wasn't as successful.
==ChatBox==
vBulletin 4.0's built-in chatbox was added to the forum after the January 2011 upgrade, being located at the bottom of the index. This was the only chat not to require Flash.
Unofficial rooms largely fell out of favor following this, apart from the notable exception of Acid Chat.
==Creation==
Main article: Creation
Jiggmin announced in June 2011 that the vBulletin chat would be replaced by Creation, a sandbox game where players could create their own rooms or collaborate with others."Creation". Jiggmin. June 18, 2011. It was released later that August while the legacy chatbox remained under the "Jiggy 2" forum skin for a few months."How to switch from Creation to Chatbox and Chatbox to Creation". Jiggmin's Village. October 20, 2011.
These rooms came with built-in chats and creators could set passwords for their rooms to only allow certain people to enter.
==Borderless==
Creation was moved to the games section by October 2011, being replaced by the simpler "Borderless" chat that lasted until the site closed. 
In comparison to the original vBulletin chat, it included a list of users in the room along with their avatars.
