I haven't heard anyone talk about it in awhile and I need somthing to do in the winter if i can't fish might as well talk about fishing.

Thanks ;)

http://www.bravenet.com/samples/chat.php offers a free chat hosting service via java it also has tons of other free stuff for websites it looks to be good. Also http://chat-forum.com/ offers something similar. I suggest using java if there is ever a chat room. IRC is another way to go but its less secure people using mirc can access it without the website.

I have a couple chat options that I'll setup but I'm doing some server & DNS & site changes that have priority over setting up the chatroom... Access will be on a secure segment of the site...
