Who are these little guys here?
Small blue & red people have suddenly appeared at the top of our forum pages! What's this, you may ask?
Well no other than... the rocking inhabitants of our chat!
A cool little eye-catching feature that will help us know when the chat is alive, and even the amount of GMC:ers (blue little guys) and instructors (red little guys) in the room.
How cool is that?
