RealChat
Reviewed byAnonymouson Tue, 9th March 2004
My users are very happy with Realchat; it is user friendly, has an easy to understand interface, and the options we were looking for. I like it as the webmaster it is a lot less recourse hungry than what we were using. Setup was a snap. We have RealChat integrated into our user forums so members can move back and forth without having to log into different areas. Updates to the client software have been steady, it is good to work with a script that is still actively developed. Highly Recommended!
nice one

I searched for great Java Chats and this one is still my favourite after I watched around 50 other Scripts.
It is the Best Chat for your Website I know. There are some little Bugs but nothing serious. A new release is coming soon.
My company might purchase this chat for commercial use, after that I can tell you more about customizing ;)
Best chat server/client software & support available on the net!

I've demo'ed them all, loaded 3 dozen, and can't possibly afford the rest! This is the package you are looking for.
The design of the client chat window is intuitive, and the layout minimizes mouse movement from feature to feature when you actually use it. Overall design is out of this world.
The images are fantastic and very well thought out. These are not your typical smilies. My favorite is the smiley with his mouth duct-taped shut and the little farting-butt.
There are more features than I will ever possibly dream of using.
What must be commented on though is the speed at which the typed message actually appears on the screen! It BLAZES! Instant response. I am seeing this software out-perform it's much more expensive competition, with MUCH less overhead. Forget about refresh.
The server-side JRE is very host friendly and after two weeks of experience with the software, I can tell your host will be very impressed also. Chat software can be a sore subject with hosting services, but mine is now considering a "Virtual License" for it's customers!
Eugene has responded to every email I have sent him and has bent over backwards to assist. I can't say enough about the great support for the product.
The only possible downside I can think of is that you must either have a shell account to run it, a host that will do it for you, or of course a dedicated server. A few nice emails to support sometimes work wonders!
Thank you for your time!
