It's something that is being considered. Do you have any perferred chat software that you like? What features would you want to see? Do any other websites have chats that you think "do it right"?

chat room vs message board or blog.

I think message boards are much useful than chat rooms. you don't have to be there all the time or wait for somebody to show up. spending money on improving the blogs is much better than starting chat room.

:) How nice.

Recently I have been using universalclass.com 's chat rooms and Canyon College's chat rooms. Years ago I used delphiforums' chat rooms but it kept crashing, so I gave up.

universalclass.com uses ? Sun Java Virtual Machine for the chat experience. It works well. It has transcripts of sessions for me to see-helpful for a teacher to look back and see who did what comments for grading purposes. I would not think something like that would be necessary.
Canyon College's system works well and is very simple. I have no idea what it uses for its chat system.

I would be looking for some real time communication embedded in my site so I can do synchronous consults and conferences without going to an external system.

Thank you.

I have to say that I am loving the freeware chatroom experience of everywherechat.com
The features are just what I need.
So if angelfire could offer something like that with one of the upgrades I would happily sign up.
