I figure a little introduction might be in order first, I am the co-administrator of a pretty busy website S-SeriesForum dedicated to S-Series (GM) Trucks and SUVs with close to 1400 members with usually anywhere from 20-50 people on the vbulletin board all day long. I have been working with some small vbulletin hacks here and there, but would only consider myself a novice user.
My dilemma: As of late the trend on our board has become "whoring" (a.k.a. useless posting or chatting in threads and ruining them) I want to as seemlessly as possible intregrate a chat room off our forum which would also show next to the members online stat box, a members in the chatroom statbox. So first I need a chatroom (php / mySQL and vbulletin compatable) and also a hack to show who is in the chatroom on the forum main page. My hope is that the addition of a chatroom would cut down on the "whoring" in the technical forums. Thank you to all for your anticipated replies.
In our opinion, the best way to keep pointless posts out of the important discussion is to create a specific chit-chat forum And maybe an off-topic one

However, a chat is a great addition to any page
we have an off topic forum and even that has gotten out of hand.
