Default 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.

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

I meant a stand alone one, that wouldn't use any of NC's resources

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

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

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.

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.

Download and install a chat client, it's really not that hard
