Live Chat suggestions?

Hi folks,

I' ll be buying this great message board software soon. It' s a bit of a bummer there' s no Live Chat module for it (or is there?) as a client of mine really wants to host Live Chats on his site.

Can someone recommend a quality Live Chat package?

This is something the company wishes to have about nce a month or thereabouts.

Anyone planning on releasing a plug-in module for Live Chat for the Forum?

Thanks in advance..

True, there is no Live Chat module for this software because:

1) java based chat is the way to go, if you want to enable chatting using browser as a client. Pure HTML chat is too expensive on server resources (bandwidth), and since DHTML support is very client dependent, users will definitely experience problems.

2) IRC is the real stuff, as it is the fastest (super scalable), and IRC clients are standardized.

Multicity (java based) is used on ovusoft.com, and has been working great as far as I know.

There are also two other service based, HTML based, chat room applications (hosted on developers servers) you might want to look into:

1) pulpchat http://www.pulpchat.com/
2) ChatAsap http://204.228.229.107/site/Pricing.asp
