The reason for the chat is want to experiment with uncommon chat features.
Things like, automatic people filtering/selection, so that people are
grouped together according to their interests, and also a sort of democratic
moderation system, where if enough users say "Kick that User" the user is
kicked. Things like that. However, those things are not really important to
this site, and your comment about lag seems much more important. So, I think
I'll use an IRC chat for now, and do an upgrade later, when I've got my
chat-app working well on it's own dedicated server. Yeah, thats a better
idea. I can use the same chat server for all my sites. However, I've never
done an IRC chat, and I don't have any idea on how to proceed. Any help
would be appreciated.
