A free chat script by Liquid Frog
A very slick chat script that has smilies, gestures and bad word filter. It also has banners so you can take paid advertising! Gestures allow your chatters to "point" inbuilt phrases at other chatters - it's just a bit of fun but it makes this chat script stand out from the rest. A full admin panel gives you complete control over your chatters. Check out the demo.
ARSC Really Simple Chat
ARSC is an easy to install, simple to handle, cross-browser compatible chat system. If you have a modern browser with frame support and JavaScript enabled, ARSC makes use of these technologies. If you have an older browser, or you have JavaScript disabled, or even if you have a browser that doesn't support frames, you can still chat using ARSC. It is compatible with old PHP versions as well as PHP5, it works with register_globals = Off and safe_mode = On. It features private rooms, moderated rooms (with a two-leveled message queue system), freely designable layouts (on a per-room basis and on a per-user basis), freely definable user levels with fine-grained rights management, ID-Cards for registered users including individual guestbooks, multiple languages, and much more. Unlike many other PHP/MySQL webchats, ARSC can optionally be run using a non-forking socketserver to handle the message transport. The socketserver of ARSC works very ressource-friendly and can handle a lot of users.
