Pelican Parts Chat Room...

[Wayne 962]

I already have a chat room, but perhaps it's time to upgrade this 2-year old area of our site, since others have requested it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of good chat room software that I can install and use on the server here?

ICQ might work, although I'm not too familiar with them. I would want something that I can brand our logo onto!

As another member suggested, IRC is a widely used chat system on the net. If you're planning to run a server on a Win32 platform, ircd 2.9.5 is probably suitable (http://www.storer.net/ircd.html). If on *nix, there's a variety of both open source and closed source IRC server programs (http://www.ircdhelp.org/ircdvers.html)
