It actually isn't that hard to make a peer to peer chat, making on that is server based and joinable from a website is a fair bit tougher.
I had found some code samples on the internet and compiled, was very simple code.
http://trevorsarchives.selfip.net/download/manychat.exeThe method used in the program requires port forwarding, so not ideal, but I am sure someone, somewhere has written a connecting class to handle that stuff.
as I hate java, I have never seen the webchat as a final solution to our online needs. Of course many people wouldn't want to deal with chat clients anymore, but even Phin has aknoweldge the fact that our (our?) java webchat is not the final deal. It's not a bad webchat but I hate webchats. And I hate java. And many people share my pov. Phin said once he was working with something but "it's gonna take some time"... and that was back in 2009 lol. I don't have enough skills to program a chat client right now, but it's not something impossible tho. And it would be a chat client that is really
ours, that means no rengames, no wgc, no battlehq. Open source and no comercial, with a Creative Commons license so that if people want to steal our code (like rengames tried to) they can not make profit from it and they need to release their code in the same conditions. I bet Trevor and I, with the help of Phin and D2S can work on something.
