Chat a la Worms? (as seen on Jacurutu)

I was just at scifihaven and noticed (and curiously signed into) his chat function. I was wondering if that's a capability that's built into phpbb or if you'd have to pay extra for it.
if its possible, i think it would be very cool as there are some times (usually mid-evening for me) when there seem to be a number of people online at the same time where it could be useful.

Its just an add on, and probably costs nothing. Ive been a member at Worm's for a few years now and we have tried numerous times to get everyone on at once to have a chat. It never, ever works. If it fails there, it would probably fail here too. So it seems to be more effort to set up than its worth.
If you can get one going at Worms, I might reconsider. But honestly, I have to say "good luck with that!"

yeah seems like more of a novelty item. apparently it costs $5 per month, according to Mandy on Jacurutu.

I always forget about the chat, probably because I'm using subshittier and there isn't a link.

You gotta move yourself to the big city, Mandy. Like Tallahassee.

5 bucks a month? Fuck that when you just need to open up a random thread for random blahs. Aside, do irc channels cost?

I haven't though of IRC in over a decade. Do any servers still exist?

Yup,

I don't think it's $5 a month, it's $5 total for the license.

If there's interest, I can install a private chat server on the machine that hosts T(A)U.
