I've been trying this on my site "WindyChat.com" for several weeks now as I saw that my site ranks high in Google for "Chicago Chat" and I thought it might be an opportunity for my site.
I do get people to jump in regularly, maybe once per day or every other day, but we always miss each other..

I don't think there's actually been ANY real-time chat yet - DOH!
A few quick requests/suggestions, I don't know if these are possible...
1. A BEEP or e-mail anytime somone posts, if there more than an hour of inactivity.. I don't want an e-mail from every post in an active chat, but would like notification if someone shows up so I can chat with them.
2. An option (default ON) for other people to receive the same BEEP or notification by e-mail when someone posts.. i.e. not every registered user, but if someone has posted in the chat room before, they will be notified by e-mail if there is fresh activity in the forum. Of course they could always turn this off.
3. I don't have any cchatbox content indexed in Google yet...

Would there be a possibility of a vBSEO plugin for Cyb Chatbox? :up: :up: :up:
If you don't think this is the direction you want to go with the public product for any reason, but you could do this as custom development for me I would be interested in that as well!
