Most IRC servers and clients offer secure connections using the same mechanism as a web browser (SSL), so I don't anticipate security will be a major concern. The main thing that phpFreeChat does which would not be quite so easy with an IRC server is synchronising privileges with forum user accounts. phpFreeChat seems to support doing it automatically, but it doesn't strike me as something that would be a lot of effort to do by hand since moderators and admins don't seem to change very often and operator powers are rarely called upon here anyway. The typical IRC services daemon offers channel and user registration for these sorts of situations.

That way we could choose to use our own clients as well as offering a web interface!  I trust your judgement as always, Trav -- but this would really be a benefit to some. Not to mention radio is always offline these days! What exactly are the benefits to phpFreeChat vs IRC? Is there a security concern? Reasons why I prefer this phpfreechat above IRC: * Full integration with the forum authentication * HUGE benefits with fighting trolls * NO irritating scripts running all the time * NO 'funny' bots the whole time As for the radio offline: make a radio station of your own and share it in the chat, THAT is why the radio is there, so people can share the music they are listening to.  Kind regards, The Traveler
