Website Chatrooms

[samaside]

My web chat community is looking to expand and move to a broader format from AIM to a more controlled format with a website base. We've been on AIM for a while but we're thinking about expanding and getting outselves a website and trying to get a better chat format that allows for more people than just thirty-six to join in on the chats. We really want to do this and it'd be a really good move for us I think.

Thing is, we're a relatively poor group, lol.

Does anyone know of any website chat room programs that won't cost us an arm and a leg a month and that offer moderator options, require sign-in names (we have some guests we do NOT need people pretending to be), and just a lot of stuff like that.

Does anyone know the program that the CAA here uses?

Many thanks!

I'm PM'd 'er about our chat. If anyone has any other ideas, please feel free to post them, though!
