I think the list of updates you got is coming along good.
As for age check/authentication/confirmation email and whatnot
I think the best course of action is to leave the log-in set up as it is, and if people DO start to come in and being jerks (ie 'stalbon' who was imping Stalbon) people should just report it to the admin, and if he/she/they/cheese thinks that its called for, just have that person banned.
Slightly slower, but prevents good people from getting 'blocked' from even entering the chat because lack of a credit card or such.
