I think there is now an option for your hack. The fact is simply that nobody wants to get involved in the complexity of creating a hack to use IRC bots to forward the member in chat stats. I think there is another way to do this.
Here we go:
Use the JIRC chat hack documented here in the forums. You then will basiclaly use templates to create your chatroom section. The chat room is then accessed via a forum that is created for it. VB 2.03 can now show online user statistics as well as their locations in your forums. This in essence would allow a fairly easy hack to show chat users. I am now researching how to impliment this. I believe it would be easier than dealing with IRC bots and would permit more people to have such a hack.
