oh, please, take care of your language, the moderators here are not very funny with that kind of words... tsss

Ok Sorry Guys

Back to the issue: www.v3chat.com ;)

If you want something inexpensive that will integrate with your vbulletin user database and forum, try www.flasherize.com

Install a shoutbox in the admin forum, or moderator forum.

My Advice: use IRC.

We do the same for our staff here on vb.org. We have 3 (well more actually) chat rooms in IRC for vb.org:
- 1 for general public
- 1 for our moderators (not accessible for any others)
- 1 for our admins (not accessible for any others)

Hardly any costs and no influence on your server performance (if you just use an existing IRC network).

PJIRC has a version that integrates with vB. I've been thinking about trying it out for a new site. Though, for administrative stuff we use the voice chat Ventrilo. :)

I like your style :)

Can we keep this thread clean please and stop referring to other members as "idiots".

Be careful calling that "integration". It gives you an easy path to the irc server and automatically uses your forum username but it DOES NOT register you with nickserv on the irc server (I'd go on but you probably already know what that can cause. ;)). For true integration you'd need your own irc server and the ability to sync up accounts between the forum and nickserv.

Ah the joy of teaching newbies irc commands. :)
