Since I made this, I'm glad some people like it (and not surprised some don't) but I'd love to answer some technical questions or hear any bugs / issues / security holes you hackers might have found. Cheers!

JavaScript in the body of the message box executes 0.o very cool none-the-less.

It feels like I'm being spammed, there isn't enough time to read the messages and its also getting flooded by people with the usernames flood and flooder.

Ya, I tried to implement rate limiting and failed, this was last night at 3am, so let me try again. If you code you might be able to beat me to it: https://github.com/Mashape/worldchat

Only for you, it gets filtered before going over the wire. Have fun :)

I choose the "German" flag. Does it mean that I should type in German or others' messages are translated to German? It's not at all clear from the wording: "Choose your username and language to start chatting with the world"... What if I want to type in English but read others' messages in German?

Both? It probably means that you write in German and other messages are translated to your language (German).

That's the only thing that would make sense.
