I used to have Flash one that used a perl backend on the server, but that shit kept crashing -- and I don't think it could support more than 10 users at a time... I'd like something with a clean looking interface that can support up to 50 people in a room at a time. There doesn't need to me multiple rooms yet, but maybe that would be an option later. Only basic admin functions -- like ban an IP for the troublemakers.

I'm wondering if there are any good coders with a non-meta refresh chat system (preferably Flash if that's possible -- otherwise Java) that would like to work on a side project of mine for a split of some of the revenue...

I'm really suprised this shit hasn't evolved yet -- I remember back in the day there was something called Sneaker chat -- basically a java applet you drop into your page for free and there was only a tiny banner -- it didn't crash either and loaded quickly. That was probably around umm 1996 maybe -- 7 years later personally I don't think anything even comes close to that original Sneaker java chat -- I think they were using a Servlet technology for that.

This is a side rant -- but I'm really a little pissed that Java Applets never delivered on the promise all these years later -- they're slow and they crash. Seriously how long has it been! I think we need to tell Sun to go to fucking hell -- they had nearly a decade now to deliver on Applets and it hasn't really made a big difference like it should have. We are still mainly using Perl and PHP for web applications. I'm sorry, but that's just sad. Flash is a step in the right direction but it's still not a real programming language. I realize there are security issues, but fuck portability and fuck Applets... When will we see some real web applications that don't suck? For example -- imagine a freehost script that was browser based but behaved similar to WS_FTP with some advanced WYSIWYG advertising tools -- maybe an integrated Arles type gallery generator smacked right in there into a pulldown... That would be the shit. AdultCentro was a good idea, but I kindof warned Nick -- this is all based on HTML! AdultCentro should really have been a Windows application that you download onto your machine -- that's really the only way you're going to get away from the gay HTML interface... Imagine if GFY was a fucking Windows Application! Mark my words -- you will see GFY leave HTML sooner or later.
