Admins,
Ive noticed you've gone with Invision for the website software AND the forum. You should go with InvisionCHAT as well because this way this site is 100% Invision. I just noticed this.

Re: Invision Software
Yes, we have thought about using Invision Power Chat, well I have for sure, not sure about others. However, there is an issue with Invision Power Chat. It's a hosted service. By the way "Invision Power Chat" is the official name of what you call "Invision Chat." This means that we really don't have much control over the script itself or whether or not Invision Software decides to display ads on their hosted chat service. We use jPilot software for our webchat and it works 100% of the time and has in general a lot more features than Invision Power Chat. Another reason not to use Invision Power Chat is that it integrates with the Invisionboard admincp which means that we'd probably have to change settings on our IRC server hosted by Alcatraz media so that the chat script would allow support groups admins to be channel operators.
In general, I think we're better off with the position we're in right now.
The only real advantage I see to using Invision Power Chat is Invision Board will automatically have a "Chat" link net to "Rules & Regulations," however, as you can clearly see...we've done the same thing by putting a nice, pretty, little button to our jpilot chatroom in the top navigation bar. There's probably a lot more I could say...but I'll end it there.
Thank you for your advice.

Re: Invision Software
Having our own IRC server with our own control over the IRC server is far superior. Nothing in this sort of situation can beat out an IRC server.
