Okay Chris... been following this discussion for a little while and am now ready to purchase a chat app for my site. If I understand things correctly the sigma chat integration with VB3 uses current usernames for the login process but does not indicate whether the room is being used or by how many at any given point? I'm not concerned about listing actually users as part of the added who's online module but just a simple number of users. For example, in the nav bar I would like a link to chat followed by the number of active users - Chat (7). 100 hits for who's online would be used up in no time flat on my site simply from people being nosey and really isn't worth the extra billing to me. For that matter... even a small status icon indicating it's being used at all would work nicely - similar to the online indicators on this message board.
