Default Live chat?

Is it possible to do a live chat? Instead of PMing or running up a thread.
I've seen it on some forums, just not vBulletin type forums.
Just a thought.

Too server intensive typically and very insecure.

I see them all the time in vbulletin forums, but the vBulletin systems being used that are secure and have the chat add-ons are years newer than our site's version. That's one of the many issues we'll run into as the vBulletin script/software is not open source or free.

I'm sure if we can figure out a way to raise the $200 Steve would be glad to upgrade to v4 which offers all sorts of sweet extended features and gizmos.

Google is closing down wave, so that's kinda futile.

yeah, FB group. I haven't had ANY time to keep up with that. Thats Fresh is the only one who helped out.
I'll hopefully have full time internet tomorrow. My hours will be about the same as Jimmies now...hint hint.
