Can This Forum Support a Chat Room for Members

Currently, this forum does not have a built-in chat feature. Adding a chat room would require integrating a third-party service or platform. It could facilitate real-time conversations among members, but moderation and technical setup are important considerations. For now, members can use existing messaging features or external chat platforms for live discussions.

I don't know if this forum is capable of using a chat server, but I think it would cool to have a chat room on this site where members can talk to each other in real time. I know people here like to get really out of hand so I think having at least one moderator, if DXP won't do it preferably someone who knows how to use chat serves like mirc.

I just saw a thread that was removed that was probably asking the same question but I don't know if it was referring to mirc. There are other ones out there too. We could also set up a room in ventriolio (sp?) or whatever.

This is why we also need an edit button. :3
