Great that I have found this thread.
Users of my website want a facebook style chat/messaging system.
I have found Arrowchat, Cometchat and Ajaxim. Ajaxim is for free but very simple, and documentation doesn't say anything about integration in existing website. I even didn't try to install it.
I can't decide between Arrowchat and Cometchat.
The most important thing for me are server load issues. I have a dedicated server and the load is 0.1... 0.3... 0.5 with about 500 people online at peak times. I also have a private mesagging system something like in this forum. Server load is fine so far and I don't to buy and install a script which causes server load like 3.0... 5.0 10.00 and higher.
Some time ago I purchased Socketmail Little. It was very buggy - even non-English characters in emails was a problem for that script. Now I don't want to purchase one more script which will be not useful.
JonathanEntertainment, why you no longer use Cometchat? Why did you switch to Arrowchat? Just because Cometchat addons are expensive? Did you have any server performance issues with this chat?
Have many people usually are online in your chat? A high number?
Thanks.
