Pros
Cons
Summary
I searched through 256 chat listings here only to find this one, FlexChat.
Let me tell you this software is great. There is only like 15 files (html, js, img) and it is not only highly configurable but stable as can be.
I tested this chat server for 3 weeks before placing it online. It is very simple to install and to start going. The user needs nothing, I've had no complaints of users not being able to access...(note, there is a problem with Netscape access, but I don't know, could be something simple.)
As well, the FlexChat support email system is fast and thorough, I've asked more than 5 questions and have received a perfect solution each time.
I cannot believe this brilliant piece of software has not received a single feedback or review, as it is fantastic and stands alone among the hundreds of others.
Try it, you won't be sorry, for I am a very happy webmaster. Well worth the $699 for the advanced version.
The uninstaller works perfectly everytime (reboot so the windows service unloads) so you can configure this chat server exactly like you want.
Big thumbs up
