As of version 2.12.8 of MediaWikiChat the config option $wgChatSocialAvatars is set to true per default. This causes an empty chatroom to appear in installations without SocialProfile Extension The problem is described in the extensions's discussion page and can be reproduced with current stable MediaWiki 1.24.2.
Possible solutions:
Changing the configuration variable's default sounds like the best (see: easiest) option to me.
Yep, sane defaults are sane; in this case, the extension should "just work" with the default config, without requiring anything else.
So let's set this variable to false by default and update the on-wiki documentation page (+README, if any) to note that you need SocialProfile if you want pretty avatars. Also Brickimedia's configuration will likely need to be updated since Brickimedia uses this extension and SP is available there.
