I swear I posted about developing integration with ArrowChat somewhere before but I can't find the thread, I had no idea they offered stock IPB integration now. That's very, very tempting.

Their statement that it works on shared hosting is pretty bold though. I can imagine something like this being very resource intensive. I'm not surprised IPS hosting doesn't allow it. As far as I know they still don't allow people to use the Shoutbox hook for the same reason.

Sorry but I don't like that.

It's okay, I forgive you for not liking it.

I more like a user friendly chat which many users can easily use on small and big screens. I don't like such a small windowed chat for community chats.

If you mean Arrowchat, it seems quite user friendly to me. It even has a mobile version for small screens.

I think IP.Chat and a Facebook-like chat messaging system serve two different audiences. IP.Chat is like a community chatroom while a Facebook-like system could be compared to Private Messaging. I don't really think there'd be a need for a Facebook-like system, but hopefully PMs will be upgraded again in 4.0. I still think Private Messaging on IPB is better than any other forum software's version.

(We should keep Facebook features on Facebook and Forum features on Forum software.) :)

I agree. I personally use IRC and an IRC webclient on my forum over IP.Chat, but I still wouldn't use Arrowchat to replace it. They serve different purposes.

2 years later the extensive plans are still plans ;) 

Does anyone have a good other chat with integration in IPS4?

Yea, I could really use a chat application with more than 1 room.  My community has multiple sub-communities and they don't play well together in the same sandbox, if you know what I mean.
