How try us this statment?

CometChat is as efficient as any self hosted solution can be (without special hardware or software). We have thousands of customers running CometChat on shared hosts like URLJet etc.

The software uses smart polling (polls depending on user activity) and JSON to ensure that the size of every data packet is as small as possible.

The current beta release is going to be the final version. We are launching our new site very soon and hence the delay in going final.

will this work for 4.0?

i'm going to write something similar and give it away for free or for only a few $ just because i think that developer is being greedy. that's way too much to charge.

For vb4.0 too?

I would like to donate few bucks even if u release for free.

it'll be developed on 3.8 but when 4.0 is fully release we will upgrade it accordingly.

i talked to one of my developers this morning and based on the amount of time he told me i think i can have it done this week but would have to charge $19.99. that will cover my development and support costs.

does that seem fair?

Quite fair if it'll work perfact and wont cause much server load.

Cometchat was KILLING my servers. I have a vb forum with 90,000 members and around 1100 members on at once. The amount of queries was over the top, and was causing my server load average to go up to 15 from 1-2. Now that I have taken it off, things are good again.

No better solution yet?:(

I would LOVE to see this added, please reply to this thread if/when anyone makes it so that I can be notified of it being ready for download.

I see that cometchat is avaliable but I heard its really hard on the server. I only use a shared server so I don't know if its an option for me.
