Their are loads of free chat rooms you can get on the net (but first make sure your host does not provide you with one)

If my provider offers the chat, would it be better to use theirs or are there generally better, more customizable ones out on the Web?

ALSO, How about online forums? Do u guys know where to find really good ones?

Thanks To U All!

Beseen is the best one so far, there are other Java chatrooms that you can install, but they include a banner which is of a sexual nature.

the bad thing is that those chat's are quite good, pity that your Host wouldn't allow you to put it up because of the sexual content.

I have Beseen's chat on my site, and its quite cool.

they allow you to customise it, so ur in control. No admin privileges tho Smiling

Bandit: Which Java chat providers are you refering to?

Assuming you're not referring to Parachat, I used to use them and they're quite good. (http://www.parachat.com/)

I am looking for a chat room as well and just tried that BeSeen. I didn't really care for it. That Parachat seemed pretty good though. Has anybody else tried it? What are some of the best chat programs out there including ones that you pay for?

As for the discussion forums, this BigTalker seems to be a pretty good program. JP's site http://www.what-next.com has a good list of forum programs as well.

The above post is illegal and ****.

How do you run a java chatroom without the .class files

What the **** are you talking about Dave? No one said anything about no .class file! How was Solobox's post illegal? I didn't no that posting a nice message on a forum was illegal.

Forum Readers:

You will notice I edited a couple of the posts above. Although I personally have no trouble with the language, there are others reading these posts-- some of whom may be quite young.

For the sake of the young people in the audience here, let's avoid the "bad" words.

Keep in mind, this is not a personal attack on anyone, I'm only here to keep the forum running smoothly.

Thanks, and continue posting your points-- an interesting point has been brought up. Smiling

Initiallu I agreed with Dave, though without the colourful language - I think you will be breaking your TOS by giving out chatrooms to others, though on second thoughts this might not be true (?) ask your host in any case.
