This is actually a mostly serious concern. Nevertheless, for the interest of not sounding biased towards a particular choice, I will henceforth refer to these "big collections of text" as "thingadongdong". We should probably come to terms on what to properly call them, though.

@balpha, the key there is once you get everything set up. obviously yes once you're done with a tab you can close it. that doesn't mean that any less tabs are opened to get to that point.
feature-request: Display current chat time somewhere in chat. Maybe down in the big gray bar at the bottom. Don't like responding to something to find out that it's been two hours since they posted.
It would be really helpful if I didn't have to manually join the rooms I'm interested in every time I launch chat. What I'd suggest is one of two mechanisms for auto-joining chat rooms.

I tend to think it's one of the more productive things you can do, helps others out now, future people later, also doubles as a resume of sorts for yourself
Is there any chance of including the "answer accepted date" in the Data Dump? Specifically I mean when you hover over the accepted answer checkmark you get a tooltip:
The question owner accepted this as the best answer xx units ago
Can we include that time property in the dump....or is it ...
There is special linking to some sites in chat. What is the full list of supported and integrated sites?
