I'm not too sure, but i seem to remember that any script which has to constantly access the server (like IM) is against the TOS.
Sorry.

But one good thing..use joomla + jomsocial both are free GNU/GPL
Jomsocial is just like facebook or orkut.You will have a community.This is no formal chat script any way.Its joomla which takes control.
But please speak to a community advocate before you implement.This confirms if you can use it or not.

That's good to know. Would this apply to an Illuminated account as well? The premium ToS have this which may fall into the same category, but I'm not too sure:

Scripts that run continuously

I don't like to connect the chat bar to other SNS (as some commercial chat script did), I 've develop my own chat bar for my own member. The conversation is not stored using any database but a flat file.

You can test my chat bar performance by open 2 different browsers and chat using different account.

you can login using a demo account : username : test123 password: 123

Allthough flat-file chat scripts are permitted (or at least they used to be ) they MAY still trip high resource useage limits.

You're allowed to run Ajax chat script on Premium and VPS, but not Free (including Illuminated)

Correction, we actually do allow chat scripts on illuminated, that is the only difference from the free hosting TOS.

We can allow that due to two facts:
1) there's less users sharing the resources, and it is a better server.
2) Illuminated, and premium, operates with cloud linux, which basically means your account get a "hard" limit if you use up too much for a longer period, meaning you can't really use more then your fair share.

My bad, I thought they shared a ToS

[Anna]

They do, except for that detail...

 

[pixelboy_95]

I had something simmiliar too
I use social engine ;D

I was informed it works on Illuminated actually Alex; just not Prime because Prime doesn't actually change the server you're on, whereas Illuminated -does-.
