Do we have the capabilities for an on-board chat room?

Flashchat was brought up before, and we are planning to have it installed here and running within the next few weeks. :)

Sorry about the lack of updates on this.....my bad guys. Chat rooms tend to be very server intensive, and as a result, many hosting providers do not allow them per their user agreement.

Our host, KnownHost, does ask that we don't use them, however I know others that also use the same host for their vB boards, and they have installed Flashchat without any issues. I've been talking to different people with similar sized boards about how their server was impacted by Flashchat, and it looks like it's not too bad.

We are still planning on proceeding with the installation of Flashchat, however if it does end up putting a strain on the server we will have to uninstall it and wait for a newer version of Flashchat to come out that is coded differently. The new version promises to be far less server intensive.
