Thanks dknelson!

123flashchat is actually what I'm trying out now. I have my own host for it, so we're running into a couple of small problems, but 123flashchats seems to be really nice and helpful in getting this up and running. To tell you the truth, I haven't bought it yet, I'm just testing out the demo. So far though, I'm really impressed with their customer service, their addons, and overall business! I hope that once we get the software up and running it's as pleasing as the rest of my experience with them

FYI, for anyone reading this thread, DO NOT try flashcoms, at least if you intend to do the hosting and integration yourself.

We tried flashcoms out (bought the software because they didn't have a demo to try out) and we had an absolutely horrible experience! Although it looks nice, user friendly and easy to integrate with vb (as we were told prior to purchasing), shortly after we purchased it, we quickly discovered that they seem to be only after your money because anytime you have a question regarding integrating with vb (because their documentation for integrating with vb absolutely sux!) they push the paid integration services down your throat and only half-ass answer your question(s).

There were many questions that I asked prior to purchasing in regards to integrating and all questions were answered in a reassuring manner, but once you purchase it, everything changes. What makes it worse is that if you are not satisfied with their product, they refuse to give you your money back (we paid $268) even though they have no return policy listed online. This is all as of about 1/29/08, so if you have experience with this software and see things change since then, by all means reply to this thread and let us all know. I'm just letting the community know my own personal experience.
