ChipperChat
With the 3.3.5 patch, there were several features added to the default UI for the chat frames. Many of them were things that I had been using a larger chat addon for, and now could move to something smaller. I decided to create that smaller chat addon myself, and ChipperChat was born. Features: Hide chat buttons (jump to bottom button moved to lower-right corner, only shows when you are scrolled up); Move edit box to the top of the chat frame; [optional] New editbox textures; Move chat frames to edges of screen; Channel abbreviations; Increased chat history.

SpamThrottle
Filters the trade channel and /yells so that any individual message is only displayed ONCE every XX seconds, where XX is a user-settable number with a default of 600 seconds (10 minutes). Repeats are filtered out, as long as the text is similar and it's been less than XX seconds since the last identical message was shown.
Curse
TradeFilter
TradeFilter does not only filter trade but has the ability to filter General, LookingforGroup, Say and Yell channels all which are configurable through the blizzard options panel. TradeFilter has a set of patterns for trade channel and separate set of patterns for all other channels, or "base" channels as we will call them. This allows the user to define what patterns may be good for trade but not other channels and vise versa. The user also has the ability to add patterns of their own to be matched against for both trade and "base" channel filters.

GuildMains
This addon shows you the name of the main character when one of your guildmates chats using a known alt. This is done by scanning the guild roster, looking for the name of a main in the player note of an alt. Many guilds already do this just as a matter of record keeping, so this addon works right out of the box. The names show up in parenthesis after their alts name like this:
[Bravehearth (Pitchifus)] whispers: Hey, is the download ready yet?
Curse
LinkWrangler
LinkWrangler will allow you to open multiple item link windows from text links in the chat window. Ever been asked to compare items from the chat window for someone? Sitting there clicking back and forth between the two links, trying to remember the statistics of each? Ever want to look at multiple items as they blaze by you in the chat frame only to find out that the other links have long since disappeared by the time you are done with the first? This is the addon for you!
