vB_Template::preRegister('ajax_chat_widget', array('chat_userlist' => $chat_userlist)); 


Yes. I left it in.

Did you set the cache time to 0? You'd want to do that while working on it even if you've decided to set it to 1 minute, otherwise it's easy to get confused when things don't change right away.

I set it to 1 and left it for 5-10 min and came back, but it was still empty.

I fixed the problem. I ended up changing the hook from global_start to global_bootstrap_init_start. Not sure if that will mess anything else up, but it got the job done. Thanks again for all your help, kh99.
