I'm looking for a private moderators only chat add-on, but one which is like a chat room. Whenever a moderator writes something it should pop out to every other moderator, that is online and vice versa. It is needed for better collaboration between moderators so everyone agrees with a certain course of action being chosen. It would be advantageous to have the option to sign in the chat, to show that they are available as moderators. Maybe something like the one in facebook, but for more than 2 persons. I believe permissions will be based on usergroups, so having the same one for regular users will be good too.

I looked through the available ones, but the choice is big and I'm probably not even getting the full list with the search term "chat"

vBulletin? Version 3.7.2

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Visichat - http://www.gchats.com is awesome! I have that and the instant messenger installed.

Might be nice but too expensive IMO. :D

Hmmm - couldn't you simply use one of the available chats on vB.org? Simply set the settings so that only Moderators, SuperMods & Admins can view it ;) --- I'd recommend Cyb Chatbox (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177552) and you could put it on all pages of your forum. It would be a nice, FREE option that wouldn't be much of a resource hog since you'd only implement it for your Staff usergroups.
