Re: Chat Night Instructions
can't we set up a different web based chat room... that doesn't require java or any installation maybe?
I think it's pretty intensive on pc resources to run an msn chat room with a lot of people in it. (or my computer is just crap  )I've found one that doesn't require registration of users, and you can set a room password... send invites, etc.

Re: Chat Night Instructions
CGI style chats use mega system resources, and I'm not willing to sacrifice the web server for the sake of people not wanting to install a java applet

Re: Chat Night Instructions
If you're using someone elses web server you're at their mercy as far as trojans and viruses go. So not sure I would want to do that

Re: Chat Night Instructions
I'm not sure I follow... how can you get trojans or viruses if you aren't installing anything, or even registering?

Re: Chat Night Instructions
Well if you're using a web based chat program, it will be an executable program in one form or another, eg. php or cgi. CGI & PHP scripts can be programmed to send files, view files locally, etc. without installing other applications. They can also use HTTP redirects to send you to nasty pages.

Re: Chat Night Instructions
I could probably host it... is that helpful?
 I have no idea how much of anything I have access to, but I know I'm only using a smidgen of it.

Re: Chat Night Instructions
Download and install a chat client, it's really not that hard
