I have seen the chat software as it stands, and I think that there needs to be something more robust available. I look at sites like LiveStream, JustinTV, (live sites) and their chats are dynamic and support lots of users with lots of spam protection and things like that.

I know JustinTV uses some IRC backend to support more users... do you guys plan on enhancing Chat to make it more useful?

Edit: I am talking about having MULTIPLE chats per forum or whatever.. I don't want one "chat" -- I want different chat interfaces to support multiple sections of my site. A broad "chat" doesn't help as it's too generic for my site.

Appreciate any help!

The chat seriously needs a global ignore function and the ability to change font colour. Been asking for ages, wont get it. Don't think chat is taken as a priority but its the main feature of my board.

True.

Also make so that we could make different chat rooms.
