Well, I know this move will dissappoint some, especially given the desire and activity to have a chat session. However, I've had to pull our chat software due to some serious vulnerabilities. Another very similar site was hit hard and we just cannot take the risk that someone will exploit our chat and take advantage of our members or our account for that matter. We're looking into other alternatives at the moment. I'll let you know as soon as we have come up with something.

it's not good that it has to be removed, but it will be ok. Good luck with finding alternatives, thankyou for your efforts.

I have a board too where I thought I should install shout box. But I heard some of these stuff take a lot of resources and are really vulnerable to attacks. Ever since my board was attacked and I lost almost half my members, Im very careful at chosing these things. Probably removing Live chat is a good move.

Was your chat room integrated into the board software or was it on a different database?

Gibby, if you are asking me. I actually never had one, but I was using phpbb board. My HSP said that the whole server was targetted and it was not my forum. But I was perplexed when I lost so much of data. I never had the latest backup. Thankfully there was an old one and I had ask the members to register which some of them did.
