Chat function on the forum?

I don't know if it is possible with this forum, but, I thought it would be pretty neat to have a chatroom function, to fire off some questions, discuss fluff or just for the banter. Just a suggestion.

If you can program it, go right ahead.
My friend put this site together for free as a favour for me and hosts it based off any money collected from the Wayland referral scheme below. I know for a fact, he isnt going to do anything else to the site for me without some serious compensation. (Web designers can get quite a good salary for making sites you know).
Sorry.

I agree with Jus, a chat function would be nice.
So I did some searching on the subject and found this:
http://chatango.com/
It seems like a good free little chat application for sites, and it seems like all you need to do to use it is to register a group (chat owner) and then paste the chat HTML code on to the homepage. Then you should get a small popup chat window somewhere on the site. Doesn't sound too hard to do if you have access to the source code of the site.
Have a look at the FAQ.

I'll pass that on to the guy who did the site when I speak to him next.

Prim I found this:

It is very simple to set up a chat, I can set up for one nagoya hammer if you want to, they provide the hosting for free as well.
