This is a very very easy hack to install and must be one of the easiest and best free ways to add chat to your forums. This hack uses Eirc java applets to connect to World IRC servers. There is no need to sign and compile Eirc yourself or even host it or a irc server, simply follow these instructions and you will have FREE, full, IRC chat on your forums in under 2 minutes...
For a demo, checkout the chat running here at vbullettin.org ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/chat.php? ) as it uses the same java applets and basicly is the same as this hack...
Once you have installed the hack pop into #austech and say hello...
Thanks & Enjoy...
Although Version 1.0 for VB2.2.x is still working and also still available, I DO NOT offer support for it...

andrew76, does this applet use a lot of server resources? I was alway led to believe chat applets are pretty server resource intensive and most hosting companies don't allow you to even install them for the very reason I assume.
I have a dedicated server but my site is very busy so i still have to watch what's going on behind the scenes Also I assume this doesn't use any db resources once it's loaded? This hack could possibly help to release some stress from my off-topic forum which most users seems to use as a chat substitute.
Coolies, looks very nice.. I gather you got it compiled and signed?
nope, got one of my friends (IRCop) install it on his server As I said earler I was on Rizenet for about one year now after we moved from another server and I know IRCops kinda good... So it helped

Nope, shouldn't use much, if any of your sever resources, as the java applets are loaded from the world irc webserver and users are connected through their server. Before you ask, yes I asked permission to use their applets in this hack.. See http://www.worldirc.org/chatself.php for more info on world irc..

Bastard J/K I have been trying to self sign and compile for 2 days now, with no joy Oh well, I have the largest channel on world IRC now and the IRCop's are pretty cool, one even did all the work in setting up my room for me... Think I may just stay there..
