I have a Instant Messenger on my site. that works through vB & my portal.

sounds ++++ing awesome bro

Any new updates?

well i have modifyed it to allow me to kidnap members and bring them to a page that allows me to chat with them, which alone would be a nice hack to release, however, im waiting to test it a bit more.

The admin panel for this kidnapper is kinda cool, it lets me type their username in, then choose a channel to kidnap them with (1-5) then i hit submit and it brings me to a messenger page where i wait for them to show up(on their next click) :]

I'm interested in how you did this, since i have had an instant messaging hack of my own working for over 6-7 months now. It uses php, mysql and js and the strain on the server is barely noticeable.

I have it creating sessions of sort, and making it so that when sessions end it cleans up after them.

The database only has the number of open sessions as rows at any given time.

Also each row only has 5 columns

also it will auto clear the logs if they get larger than X which will be set in the database.

Wow, all these people with custom IMs... :)

I'm happy to look over the code, sure, and even beta test it with my private forums (nearly 9,000 members).

Cool, thanks Erwin, heres a screenshot of the buddy list layed out to match my site.

looking nice :)

Looks great! :)
