Temporary Chat Room for Special Events

Okay, took another quick look. This one doesn't actually integrate into vB but seems EXTREMELY easy to install:

It's free too!

Here's another one. Free too! Looks more robust than the one above:

Again, seems easy to install. Just need to create a MySQL database and run the install script.

teamspeak is free, but i didnt like it much, just tested it.

Cant we do a massive AIM?

An AIM session is VERY much an option. I believe that a chat room was suggested for this special purpose so that it wouldn't be necessary for everyone to download a specific program. I don't use AIM, I'm sure there are others that don't use AIM. I downloaded it a few months ago because it seems like pretty much everyone here uses it. I hated it - found the interface to be extremely clunky and just not worth the resources. I uninstalled it. I'm still getting spam from AIM and their partners. Grr.

vent is better than teamspeak and a massive chat room on aim would work but would be more difficult to communicate because u have to type what u want to say.

ventrilo and teamspeak are free. it just costs money if you want a bigger server that can support mroe people.
