Many of our users used to love the chat system we had installed in the forum, till eventually this was replaced by our Shoutbox - the company that provides the software used to power our forum have today released their own inbuilt chat system, people contacted me to ask about the the chatroom being returned, well i can offer this service however i need some help from the users of the system.

We can add the package to the forum however the cost to do this would be $29.99 for a years hosting of the system that allows up to 50 concurrent users online this is where i need your help. If you wish to return the chatroom all you need to do is make a small donation and i will collect these until we have enough to purchase the package. To donate click here

In the meantime we have the Chatroom installed however the limit on the free package is only 5 users. To access the Chatroom click here

I don't want to be a party-spoiler, but why don't use a free service? With Java you could've easily worked out a free system and it would've been handy for the mIRC users. Downside is that you need to be a guest in the chat/create an account instead of using your forum account. But then again, it's free.

But I see blakejp has already donated the money! :)

The whole point is keeping our whole sites software with one company i had waited for this release purely because of how good the company that provides this software is! :)

We also have more control over users permissions and it ensures we can deal with issues without having to mediate with 3rd parties etc.

Many thanks also to Athena who kindly donated to the forum despite Blake having already paid the fee for this years hosting of the chat.

Massive thanks from me and everyone else at AMUK Athena! :)

Second time I believe Blake beat me to something yesterday, haha. I think some people have the problem with speaking before thinking. My problem is doing before reading. Like how teachers tell you to read exam questions fully before answering, I don't follow that advice. :rolleyes: Nevertheless. :D
