Which is better? vBChat or Flash Chat?
 

Hey before i buy vB i also need to know which of these chats are better?

vBChat or Flash Chat??

Which is better in terms of features and capabilities??

Thanks!!

It depends on what you want really. Both have good and bad features, and one persons good is another persons bad. I don't think you can just say one is better than the other.

Zeeblo,

Do we really need this automated message all over the place ??

This is the Pre-sales forum is it not, hardly surprising he's not licenced .......

I use flashchat, It has a lot more features and it is more dynamic.
But I think vbchat integrates better with vbulletin.
And i also think vbchat is less server intensive.

Is there a chat program that doesn't use IRC?

Flashchat does not use IRC.
I don't know anything about vbchat, but I am happy with flashchat.
The only complaint I DO have about flashchat as it integrates with vBulletin 3.0.7 is that users must enter their user names again into the Flaschat login to get into that program.

Flashchat is a flash application that works like a realtime chat as you've seen in AOL and other online chats. Users don't have to memorize commands to do things since almost everything is push-button. However, for those who wish to use them, shortcuts are there.

Take a look at flashchat here: http://www.tufat.com/script2.htm

You don't have it set up correctly then. If done properly vB users do not have to login to flashchat - it is automatic.

Can anyone tell me about the server load of flashchat?
Is the load remarkable decreasing even on dedicated server if you have like 50-100 users at the same time in the chat ?

I'm not sure it would work at all with 100 users, 50 is pushing it.
