I've been exploring different IRC packages over the last few weeks actually...also some one on one chat packages...question would it be preferable where you could do one on one chats to those who are online (we do have PM's but a little clumsier than live chat I know) or full chat rooms with lots of members?

The downside of a live chat room with many members is that it's "live" so usually unmoderated and one troublemaker can come in and ruin it for many as I have seen in other chat rooms quite often. The one on one live chat is usually more civil and does not need moderating and rarely gets out of hand.

Curious what you all think...
